    Default trackers

    Hey, i bought some trackers for my hypercarve but i don't like em at all cuz i get wheelbite so i can't ride em superloose and i dont want risers. Now i ride randalls on my hypercarve but on what kind of board can i use the trackers and for what kind of riding?
    btw, i ride mines with orange khiros and 72mm wheels.
    Most fishes swim in schools, but mine swims in pools.

    which trackers do you have?

    the rts/x versions are really turny so they would be good on GS type boards.

    you would probably want to mount them on a deck that has cutouts.

    What is the hangar width of the Darts? There are quite a few lengths available. Knowing what you have will help people determine what sort of deck would be suitable.

    EDIT: Just saw your signature, never mind.

    Darts, 72mm, no riser, and a tail? You might be able to do that on a loaded fish or that croc. Other than that, you're out of luck. Why don't you just throw some risers on that ho. That or get some sub-56mm wheels

    throw away those gravity wheels and put the bertz on. you might need a shock pad or 1/8 tops. problem solved.

    Your wheels are too big and too slow. I know Army rides a minicarve with ace 44's (about 150mm hangers) super loose and doesn't bite, and he runs the 62mm snaps. If you want some grip and a smooth ride with no bite, I would recommend red 62mm alligators

    I just set up a slide/pool deck with darts. Its awesome.

    side note: tracker darts with 90a venom barrel bottom and medium or soft bones hardcore top is an amazing bushing set up.

    Check his sig. They're also the 149s. The problem lies in the 72mm wheels. Too big. Although with a 1/8" riser, the ride should still be plenty low on darts

    Gravitys stock setup with the darts is wedged front and rear for more turn, and as a bonus you can run large wheels with no bite, I was running BigZigs and Gumballs on mine. Smooth and sweet carving.
