    Default Timeline + risers?

    I have a Bennet in the front and a Tracker RTS in the back. The Bennet is a bit taller than the tracker so I put a riser in the back. During a hard carve yesterday, I got wheelbite in the front D: If I put a wedged riser in the front, I should cut the wheelbite without raising or altering the flexy feel of the board too much, right?

    Thanks.

    wedge the front and itll help might have to add a considerable amount since the itmelines design isnt all that great at making the best of the cutouts on the front.

    Throw some 10-15 degree risers on the Bennetts and swap out the bushing with soft ones (the tall base bushing should be replaced with an orange short cone and a white barrel bushing for the shorter outer bushing I use blue conical venoms)
    Then de-wedge the rear truck 10 degrees
    That should solve the wheel bite problems, it'll turn like nuts, make the rear more stable and you'll be able to pump the thing like crazy!

    Would that set up also be good for carving? I <3 carving.
