    You really cant go wrong with any of the Tracker trucks. They have Midtracks, Fultracks, Rts/x, etc...Most of them are pretty relatively small and Tracker is a great truck company.

    Could get tracker mid-tracks, full-tracks, Rt-x and s,
    GFH Hurley mini trucks, or you can wait for bennets to come out around Augest 1.
    *edit* small tracker darts are good too, also indy.

    Keep in mind GFH is newschool pattern, and Mid and full tracks are oldschool pattern. Darts have both. RT-X and RT-S have both. You might want to wait for bennets which should come out in about one month or so. Supposedly they outurn most trucks, and this time around they should not have plastic baseplates and be made tough as to not bend. Dont know the what the pattern should be though.

    What wood are you making your board out of? Have you started yet? Whats the dimensions?

    I use tracker racetrack 106 mm on boards that size. They are super responsive. I built a 27 with a good size kicktail that is perfect for big ollies, but doesn't leave much room for your front feet. 23" might be too small for this type of board imo.

    INDY 101's!!! best way to go for mini's IMO. If you can't find a set then get the Tracker Mids. I have both and both rock my flipping Socks...
