Stepped on the deck at the skateshop and imagined how sick tre flips would be on this so I had to try it
Coming off from palace and glue having 13.7wb and also 30.75 long already so this isn’t much of an adjustment.

[SurfNDope]

That’s pretty sick! How the tres and other tricks feeling? I rode a 7.25 when I started skating.  I wanna step down from a 7.75 to a 7.5 and this got me really considering it

I mainly skate flatground and ledges so this makes it really fun and nimble.

[SurfNDope]

what size trucks can you rock with a 7.25? And I skate mostly the same stuff too, ledges manny pads and flat ground.  I got an old 7.5 ima set up with 5.0 venture lo’s tomorrow after work!

I ride 5.0 low on 7.2-775 decks
But on 775 sometimes use 5.2 lows for mega ramp stuff

After watching Daewon song's nine club, I wonder.. does anyone know if it's still rolling below 8 or if it's gone to the bigger one ?

A lot of skaters have finally opted for 8 or more now haha

I have seen  a video with him that is 4 years old and he said he was on 7.9.

yo the trucks look nice! some real adelmo jr joints

skated 7.75s yesterday, for reasons of specific nostalgia.
was mainly a bunch of not great flatground skating on a rough road.
went really well, surprisingly. felt like it was a sign to stick with that size (truck and wheels were different, on two different completes)


edit* what size trucks do most 7.75ers use?

129 for Indy, 5.0 for venture.  Not too sure about the sizing for other truck brands.

Found this old thread from 2005.  Everyone riding 7s .. what a time! http://www.skateboard-city.com/messageboard/archive/index.php/t-2678.html

First time caller, long time listener.  After trying numerous deck sizes and truck brands over the past few years (and suffering from serious madness), I threw some old Venture lows on an old girl 8.125 just to mess around.  It just clicked immediately like the old days.  Then I got the girl Tony Ferguson deck and hooked that up with some 5.0 lows and 50 mm lil smokies.  So much fun.  I know exactly what I need now.  I need to find a 7.75, but They all seem to be 31.25 or shorter.  Anyone know of a 7.75 with a 31.5 length?

i wanna roger 7.75s are 31.5???

[Thebird]

Thanks.  I see a Theories deck at 7.75 x 31.5.  Anyone ridden this?  How is their shape?

Toy Machine and Santa Cruz make longer 7.75s.  Santa Cruz has a 31.6 actually

I did see the Santa Cruz.  I've never really cared for how steep the kicks are.  Something more mellow would be preferred.  All of the old decks that I rode were AWS and girl.  7.62 x 31.5 and 31.625.

Hi there, I believe Jart still make: 7.5 / 7.6 / 7.75 / 7.875 (look for the low rather than high concave decks) all at 31.6 long if that is any good? All have a 14.2 wheelbase too. I've been riding the 7.6 and 7.5's and really like the longer shape for stability when just cruising around and they are decent enough quality for me. They are made at HLC but I couldn't tell you how they would compare against another woodshop.
P.S I'm based in the UK and they seem widely available online in Europe but I'm not 100% certain about the rest of the world.
All the best!

Thanks, I'll check Jart.  Anyone ride the wknd 7.75.  I see it on their site at 31.25, but I know they are PS, so is it actually shorter than that?  Some stuff in their chart looks like PS measurements and other stuff looks normal

[Thebird]

So I was checking out the 7.81 green eagle on Skatepark of Tampa website, and I noticed they had two sizes - 31.4 (which I always recall it being), and 31.75.  Anyone know what the 31.75 is?  Maybe the new China Deluxe decks?
