Help on a commuting board

[combatcow]

hey I was thinking about gettin a commuting board to get around my college campus, so how does this sound? Rayne Timeline, Tracker Fastracks, In-heat O-tangs, and probably the Khiro bushing kit to mix and match till i find something that feels right. Can someone give me suggestions, because I'm especially unsure about whether the trucks are a good choice

I'll never understand why anyone would buy a board that doesn't have a functional kicktail for "commuting", getting around, cruising, not to mention ditch or parks.

Timeline sounds like a good campus cruiser to me. As for what Enemy said, I think it just depends on your riding style and the terrain you have to deal with. Need to hit a lot of level changes like curbs? Get a board with a kicktail, otherwise this should be fine.

Trucks and wheels: I personally don't think these trucks and wheels would be a good match for this board and the uses you want it for. If you are set on the fasttracks, make sure you get the 150s and NOT the 180s, they will be too wide. The inheats I think are too big for a campus cruiser. I reckon slightly smaller wheels are better in that kind of situation because of the fast acceleration you can get as you may have to be changing speeds a bunch what with all the people about. It will also make it easier to pump which is fun!

So, my recommendation to you sir.

Indy 149s or 169s OR Randal 150s
The indys will be lower for easier pushing and turn better at lower speeds.
The Randals will be more stable going fast but will be higher for pushing.

and Zig Zag Lime 80a 70mm wheels OR Orangatang 4president
Fast, grippy and fun, just pick your favourite colour!

I run a fairly similar setup to this as my Town/Campus ripper, it's a Loaded Pintail with Lemon Zig Zags 70mm and Randal 150s, absolutely epic for pumping around and getting places FAST.

A board up to 38" with a kicktail.
A wb of around 20-26".
Tracker Rts/X indys, even a bennett or 2.
65mm 78a-81a wheels with rounded edges
some wedge/dewedge.

alright so what I'm lookin at right now is 150mm R-II randals, and some o-tang 4prez, with the timeline. is that a pretty solid setup? and my campus doesn't have many curbs or level changes, so im not really worried about that

Kicktails are not just for getting up curbs. i'd get the Pug with 180's.
