Board Tips?

[AboveSpeedLimit]

Hey. I bought the "Ours" Secotr9 Longboard a few months ago, as X-mas has been coming up, I recently thought about getting new equipment for my board. I don't know where to start though so I was wondering if you guys could help. The board came standard with Greaseballs Abec-5 bearings, 65 mm so biothane compound wheels, and the Gullwing Grinder Trucks. Is there anything within a $100 that would make the ride a higher quality using less energy and more speed? xD Yeah. Really the only place I can shop is a local store in town and a Zumiez at the mall.


Thanks./

In my experience, wheels and bushings really change the quality of the ride. Try venom bushings, I love them. As for wheels, I have no experience with anything in that size, and I can't say for sure how well 70mm or larger wheels would fit that board without wheelbite. I've only ridden Gumballs and In Heats so far, both great wheels but they are 76 and 75mm, so they might not work for you.

You'll get more answers in the general forum too, as this one is dedicated to board building from scratch, not building a board by changing parts. Good luck.
