I'd go for gumballs 81a or Hawgs 80a for a hybrid wheel rather than the Bigz. I'm not hating on the bigz, I just feel more safer sliding the gumballs.

Good luck!
Thanks Jat awesome video Ive watched a few but not as in depth as this one in terms of weight distribution. Good thread guys learned a lot. My wheels are a bit soft I think it was a really cheap board so they don't even have density on them but I'm selling my car soon and will get a new board more suited.

I s pose my only question is I have a "tear drop shaped' long board 85 Cm long thats about I dunno 34 inch. SO question, different shaped boards are easier or harder to slid is the one in the video classified as a trick / slid board? Ive been told my board is fine but would like a few peoples opinions before I buy a new one...

Thanks guys
