So which would you prefer? The general freestyle deck.

(Suggestions mainly I can't pick a style that I'm aware of like CB4, hybrid stuff, or special custom shapes, the general freestyle deck just incase I'm only limited to one size and shape)

i personally like the 7 1/4" sized decks, but thats just me.

I put other, but basically 7.5. I was just being pernickity, thinking of like a 7 3/8, 7.4 or something.

7 3/8" is a good size, but certainly no bigger. 7 1/4" is also a very favourable size.

Why don't kids want to buy freestyle boards? Because they would have to buy new wheels and new trucks. If you make the board wider likea 7.5" or even a 7.75" there are more truck options and kids can actually buy trucks at their local skate shops. It would also make the switch from street to freestyle a little easier with a more common/comfortable size and really make it a "hybrid" deck. This would also tie back into expanding freestyle and making it grow.

My 2 cents.

Yes, there are already lots of 7.5 street decks, so there's many more options for trucks available for that size, listen to the man Panda!

That was worth at least 4 cents. I buy 7.5s and use regular street trucks.
