    Default Trucks for oldschool pool board

    Just wondering wether or not I can use some simple skateboard trucks on a board like this. (10" wide by the way) if i can should i use risers or not? Cheers guys. (it arrives in a few days and I hadn't thought about trucks XD)

    215's... too much... 169's on a pool board if you want to catch some air.
    I have a bunch of skateboards

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    Indys now come new school only, so if ordering either see whether they have any 6 hole baseplates or will drill to suit.

    That is of course assuming deck is drilled old-school.

    Or...you can drill the deck...but I always feel thats a shame.

    depends how wide of wheel also i have 169s on a 10 inch wide board but the wheels i am using are 60mm wide .
    i would agree for a normal width wheel 215s are the way to go.

    You could always re-drill the baseplate(unless youre worried about the structural crap blahblah blah) or you can search the sales section on the fish for oldschool indie plates?

    As for risers..if using Indys I reckon 1/4" will be about right, depending on wheel choice...1/2" max.

    If it's 10" you gotta get Indy 215s with 1/4" riser if you like really loose trucks.
