Why I Went Back To A 7.75 Deck!

I recently decided to go back to a 7.75 deck because I felt like I didn’t spent much time with it to learn my flip tricks, so far I can tell you it’s more responsive, faster to adjust my foot position for tricks and it feels effortless to do tricks!

775 gang

Aayyyyy!!!

I’ve been riding a 7.75 since the 90’s when it was considered a big board. And I roll 59mm wheels, so much hate on one setup.

[@onichama9279]

@@nemo2875 that’s so dope! Have you ever tried a different size? And I feel skaters will always judge a board size, it’s not a big deal people love to hate I swear lol I love 7.75. I’m riding 8.5 now though!

[@jcsk8]

7,75 here too. You also should try slimmer wills, as they reduce the lateral rotational mass and helps flipping too.

[@onichama9279]

Ayyy! Hell yeah I love to hear that!

I started with a 7.75 and slowly moved up after I got my balance and flick control. That was almost a year I'm 38 and now skate an andy anderson shape that's 8.4 and I'm glad I started small.

I ride 838 and I found that I really like it. I had a sesh with a 775 board last year and it wasn’t bad at all. I heard wheelbase matters a lot for flip tricks. When you start sizing up try to find 14” wb it might help. I think most 825s will have a 14.25 wb nowadays so it might be harder to find

[@onichama9279]

Nice!! I’ve rode a 8.38 before i really liked the comfort in it, but I just have trouble flipping bigger boards and yeah I feel the same way about the wheelbase, I have 52mm wheels on the 7.75. Do you think I should get 50mm?

[@thomasgallegos1370]

@@onichama9279 na man I’d say ur 52s are perfect for what you’re practicing. Get those tricks down because it all comes down to technique for the most part

[@shredmetalshred7395]

Like if you've been riding 7.75 the whole time

I hope it works for you, and remember this advice, if it an’t broke, don’t fix it. Tommy Sandoval said it on the nine club. He been riding the same set up for a while.

[@onichama9279]

Imma always keep that in mind! Thank you!!

[@nathtomlinson8755]

I’ve just gone back to a 7.8, from an 8. I’ve gone from venture low raw 5.25 to 5.0. Lighter, easier to flip. Way better

[@onichama9279]

Hell yeah! That’s a nice set up very similar to mine!!

[@arizonaandrew]

Am I tripping or is there no grip tape lol

[@onichama9279]

lol it’s Mobs Clear grip tape! I like getting the clear grip tape so I can still see the graphic and color on top!😎

[@mistahbruce996]

Subcribed toyour channel sir skate safe sir. Hope to skate with you someday when I get my own set up hehe

[@onichama9279]

Thank you bros!!

[@la-eddy2694]

Yee haha The timing is different too

[@onichama9279]

Yeah it super responsive!

[@VierNecroma]

and here i am setting up a 9.5 heroin board 😎

[@onichama9279]

[@pawpaw1044]

The same bro. More easy to flip..

[@onichama9279]

Big time!!

[@pawpaw1044]

[@Paradox-82-]

[@onichama9279]
