But what dose 7.5 mean? Also is Mystery a good place to buy from? Any info will help.

Thanx

Answer 1

mystery is a great company,i have a mystery board and i love it,if your a begginer you may want to get a complete like this but when you get more advanced you may want to look into customizing your own board , my suggestions would be:

deck:baker,almost,mystery

trucks:independent,thunder

wheels:bones,spitfire

bearings:bones

im glad that your starting to skate,skateboarding needs more girls involved.

Answer 2

7.5 is the width of the board it really doesn't matter but some people get fussy about it but it really doesn't do any thing.Mystery is a good board it has really good durability they last really long so i would get a mystery or a element for beginners

Answer 3

7.5 is the width of the board. then mystery is a nice board too

Answer 4

7.5 is the width of the board.  For a begginer i would get a 7.75 or an 8" because its easier to learn on and more stable.  As for trucks some good companies are krux trux, independent, venture.  Some good wheels would be spitfire or bones(street=50-56mm, vert>56), and some good deck types would be alien workshop, black label, and zero.

My set-up right now is a 7.75" alien workshop steve berra deck, 5.0 venture trucks, bones 52mm wheels, and redz bearings.

***a side not on trucks: http://www.skatewarehouse.com/descpageTR... has a list of venture trucks and their sizing, ie 5.0 for a 7.75" deck and so on.
