Looks good, I had a similar setup, except with 78A Grippins and the 180's were unflipped. My your wheel choice, are you looking to do a little drifting? My current SC setup is more of a commuter/ distance setup. I'm swapping out my current 150's with Bennett 6.0's because I love the bennett feel on my Superglider. I like my setups narrow for the people slalom aspect.

You would be better off with softer wheels if it is going to be for carving and slow speed.

yeah. this is not for me. he does plan on doing a bit of drifting. my idea with the flipped rear truck is so it can compansate for the lesser grip of the 84a wheels.

Sounds fine, just tell him to break in those grippins (slide a lot) and he'll be all set.
