    Default 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

    I think its too big for commuting and sliding.
    Get the smaller Version.

    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?
