I havent seen a skater in months that doesnt skate an 8. i just think its kind of wierd i guess because im the tallest skater in my town at 6'5 and no one skates smaller decks than me (7.87 or 7.8.) even the kids half my size only skate 8s. i remember when everyone else use to only skate 7.75 or smaller "because it flipped easier" and people would always say my deck was huge. now its the opposite and people skate 8s like its some religious cult and people have asked why i skate such small decks. am i the only one not skating an 8 these days or is this weird deck size fad only happening where i live???

I only skate 8.125" due to being tall, and hence big feet.

im really tall but i guess my feet arent that big size 11 or 10.5 depending on the shoe. i never really liked 8s but i never gave them that long of a chance im going to get one for my next deck.

Down here it's like that, I don't know exactly why but I suppose it's jsut the fact that you have more board to land on than you would with a 7.5 or 7.75 ..

Now people say "bigger boards are easier to land on" stare
But 8.0 is what a ride...i guess i've always ridden them.
