Default CW buyers guide help with quiver

Can anyone help me?
What is the best setup for each category?
I would like to know what slalom trucks rock for example.
And I want to choose an old school pool set up, but what are cool parts for that?
Anyone help me?
Or if anyone wants to share ideas with their choices, lets all talk about it.

Well, the choices available seem to be quite broad, because you can have a DH setup a cruising setup, etc. So in your dream quiver, what kind of setup do you want, what do you want each board to do?(Cruising, carving, DH, etc.)

In response to the old school setup though, i have no idea. For example in the longboard category if you want a general all around truck and wheel combo that would work nicely, either holeys or randal II 180's/150's. and wheels probably 75mm 81a Gumballs.

Hmmm. I think the first question you should ask yourself is how often are you going to need to
shoot those head crab thingies that took off with sniffleless.

I personally recommend the 'Anger Management Special' quad recoilless turret on page 113. This of
course means you need to get a drop-thru. Also, sadly it is incompatible with the shield generating
wheels recently put out by ABEC12. Total wheel-bite.

Speaking of wheelbite, what's the word on the Snowcrash specials on 142? I hear they are buttery smooth
and roll over everything short of a tall cliff--and even then they are pretty smooth till you get to the bottom.
But I've also heard that if you go over 50mph with a topmount you will get lots of unnerving racket from the wheels
smacking the bottom of your board.

Can you avoid this with risers or wedging? I'm afrain to use them on something like the Vanguard Plus (that rocket
propulsion system is tight! And the jet-pack conversion system is gonna be so sick!) because I'm afraid
those smart-spokes are gonna chew my legs into hamburger.

Now for a pool board...did you notice the chalk dispenser on the last page? I think that
whatever you setup, that is a must.

And the 'Rolling Thunder' tread conversion. Oh man, I hear that is the bees kneez for vert. True, you won't go faster
than say 40mph but it can climb ANYTHING! Runs on fairy dust though although there is a conversion kit that lets
you use eagle heads and ambergris.

Bean-a-reano, yeah mate I'm deadly serious. ....and you will be a great rescource for alot of my questions. I mean you really know your stuff, so c'mon,.... help me imagine the ultimate set ups in each category.
Like these radical Dragon claws,..... those offset trucks,...... do you put them on the back or the front? What is a good front truck for slalom and a good back truck? (sorry, I don't know)
I think I know what I want for a LONGBOARD. But what is everyones fave deck, trucks and wheels for a serious cruiser or carver? A serious all rounder, or a serious DH board?
Man,.... too many questions
Im sure everyone else has some weird questions they are afraid to ask. Why not talk about it here?

why not cruise by the quiver thread? Might give you a few suggestions. And wasn't there a slalom-setup thread aswell?

never thought it would be that hard. Esp with the voodoo aparantly being a pooldeck

I thought it would be easy to just pick a longboard/speedboard. But that's going to be the hardest

Default Re: CW buyers guide help with quiver

Ok, I'm confused.. Do the quiver you submit have to be one longboard, one slalom, one street and one vert board or can they be like one LBL dancer, one DH board, a slideboard and a mini?
