How's my setup?
This is gonna be my second longboard, mainly for cruising and some moderate hills. Just wanted to post my setup here and see if there was anything I should change before buying it.
Looking to buy it here: Never Summer Swift Longboard Complete Skateboard
So I got:
Board: Never Summer Swift
Trucks: Paris 180mm silver
Wheels: Abec 11 Retro Freeride 72mm 83a Lemon (wanted a harder wheel to maybe try a little sliding)
Bearings: Powell Bones Reds
It comes out to around $200, which is perfect.
So if I were to use this board for some moderate hills, lots of commuting and experimental sliding would I have any trouble? Is there anything else I need to add to it?
Thanks for any input

Re: How's my setup?
I think its too big for commuting and sliding.
Get the smaller Version.

Re: How's my setup?
Well I salvaged my superglider, I just need to put new screws in it as the old ones were rusted to HELL! I scraped off most of the rust so I think the actual board is good.
Would putting harder wheels on my superglider to maybe slide and commute with be ok? Also would 70mm wheels get wheelbite? I know my 66mm don't, I'm just not sure about the 4 mm jump up to 70. Right now I'm looking at the Orangatang stimulus Freeride wheels which are 70mm 83a
Then buy the Swift with softer wheels as a cruiser, a more stable kinda board?
