Hi. Im trying to build a cheep starter slalmon setup, and sofar its been going pretie well. ive got some abec 11 weels, that will work, and my homade deck is nearing completion, but trucks and barrings are my problemb. i was wondering if i could use some trucks i already have. there actualy not longboard trucks, but some nice independint trucks, that i have off an old park board of mine. ive also got some pi barrings from the same setup.

pls tell me if these might work ok, and if not, then mabie point me in the right direction on wht cheep truck/bearing combo i could purches.

Nah it's just a red herring. He really wanted a slalom setup.

In answer to your question, YES your Indy's can be setup to work great, particularly if they're narrow enough to let you turn quickly. Many slalom racers use Indy 109's. Okay, so "wedge and dewedge" the front/rear, in that order. I suggest you start with two Khiro soft wedges and mount them under each truck, "Fat side back". That ought to get you going.

Hey, welcome to the 'Fish. We support all forms of salmon.

yep you can use your indys. i assume they are 129s which are the standard for street skates. the centerset abec11 grippins will narrow the track to that of a 109 with offset wheels.

what wheels do you have?

i started on tracker 129's and they were better with grippins but they worked with offset avalons too. eventually you will want to switch to a slalom truck depending on when you have funds avaliable. tracker rtx rts are good but there are also other options out there

so whats the deal with your name? is you haxor?
