    Default Truck suggestions for flexdex pro 40?

    Hey i'm new hear and was hoping some of you guys could help me out. I just got into longboarding a few weeks ago (should have been a few years ago), and i got myself a flexdex pro 40 with 9" gullwing bombers. At first i was really liking the setup i have, but i now want some trucks that will turn tighter and be a little less lazy between turns. This setup was suggested to me by a local skate shop and i'm not too happy with the results. I mostly use the board for commuting and carving some medium sized hills with no intention of bombing down some monsters. Any help would be appreciated.

    Longboardskater.com They rock! edit- they don't have Grippins so go for the Lime Zig Zags in 70mm. I't be wider because the Zigs are offset but you'll be fine

    Thanks for the website suggestion and I already have a set of wheels. I have 70mm tarantulas (78a). Actually, would angled risers help out in my situation or should i stay away from them?

    Nice choice of board bro!! . I got black randall 2 180's on my Pro-40 alternating the wheels in my sig. The set up rocks. check out flexdex.ning.com . And join the flexdex street team. Lots of dudes with the same board as us and tons of great ideas, tips, tricks, video's etc. I just joined up myself. Stay stoked!!

    Paris or Randals with 50º baseplates. That last bit is important.

    Could i actually just get angled risers for my bombers to decrease my turning radius?
