    93a barrel cone or barrel barrel. the double barrel will have more resistance to turn and more rebound, but the barrel cone will carve harder. You could probably throw a 90a barrel in there (with a green barrel), but I think your 200lbs will handle double green (90a) fine.

    Have you bought the board yet? If you haven't, you should look into something shorter. Turning around on a narrow street will be tough with a 46 inch board. And go with sabre bushings, purple and orange

    i good set up is to have blue (85a) barels board side and white (73a) roadside. i would sugjest khiros because they are cheap and you can experiment with them. if that bushing setup works for you then you can invest in some venoms or mabye reflex bushings. they are a little more expencive but the rebound will be alot better.
