So if any1 who can help me out by telling me what size should i buy?

Answer 1

if you are going to spend alot of money i sugest you get a board that you are going to use for the type of skating your going to do (vert or street)

Vert: ramp tricks

Street: flip tricks

A good vert board size would be an 8 inch board

a good street board would be a 7.5 inch board

if you want to do a little of both 7.75 inch board

Answer 2

Well....what size do you ride? If that size is 7.75, then get a 7.75 deck. With your current skateboard, do you find that it is too big or too small?

I got an 8'' deck, but my trucks are for 7.5 (previous owner had me confused). It is huge on me and I think having a 7.5'' deck would be better. The smaller the board is, the easier it is to do flip tricks. In the end though, it doesn't really make a huge difference. Get what you now or just get a 7.75 because that's what almost everybody has anyways.
