Buying a skateboard. If im getting a 7.75 deck size, should i also get a 7.75 truck? ?

Question

Im buying an enjoi deck 7.75 and i am not sure if i should get a truck that is size 7.75 too. If i do get 7.75, are they gonna stick out if im looking from the top of the board?

Answer 1

They won't stick out. It doesn't matter too much what sizes you get, you'll just have to buy some and see if you like them.

Answer 2

Ask the sales rep when you get to the store.  A good pair of trucks plus wheels should not exceed the width of the board.  Only boards that are to be used for sidewalk cruising and downhill speed skating should have wider trucks than the deck.  Street skating and ramp skating need an even truck/deck ratio so flip tricks are easier and turn-ratios are tighter.

Keep skating.  It's a great sport.  I'm 32 and I still skate whenever I can get away to do so.
