    Default MDP: what can I do to improve upon this?

    Gravity Bruce Logan 36" Cruiser
    Tracker 106mm RT S/X

    More concerned on my wedging set up and then the bushings. However, I will most likely upgrade the front truck to Bennett 4.3 tomorrow. Where do you see how I can make improvements?

    just get on it and ride. you will see what changes need to be made. i have a similar set up that i just did. i have an old sector nine craftsman, but my stock trucks are bent(i got 1000 miles out of them) so i ripped some grindkings 7.75 of a shortboard i had laying around, wedged it, dewedged it, switched out the kingpin, put on my in heats (flipped to narrow them) and got some wheelbite. i am going to add a 1/4 riser to mine.

    your setup should ride just fine. just take it at a really slow speed, and do some hard carvers. you will see if there is a problem immediately.

    Once idea...................Just an idea.............
    Drill the tail and set it up ala axe slalom style.
    A Bennett 4.3 will definately make a huge difference.

    drilling out that deck might be too flexy. I have that board and it already flexes under my weight.. Now throw R on there...

    No adjustments, just a change of front trucks and it made a world of difference!

    Just a note to say that I rode this deck before and after the switch to the Bennett up front.
    It pumps so much better with the Bennett than the Tracker. There is a reason for this set-up.
    Now, get out and skate...
