Yeah a Humu would do that, and a Gravity Ben Wei with Tracker Rt-S/X would be even better for dodging pedestrians.

I have a Ben Wei with the exact same setup. Oh man, the thing is so quick and dodgy! It feels like your riding a squirrel to school!

Yeah, I love mine too. Right now I have 72mm Fish Balls on it, so it`s scary fast.
I have some 65mm EW Superballs coming though, 72mm is a bit too much on it.

At 33", the Fish won't fit into the majority of backpacks. The Humu is a good choice, and can be had in a 29" I believe, which would do the trick. You could also check out the Roggs Wannabe, which is also 29", but doesn't sacrifice width like the Humu. You can't really go wrong with either of them though.
