Default Bennett 6.0 for a Legendary Gnome?

I just put in an order for a Legendary Gnome and im really excited for it to come in. I'm not sure what trucks to go, it seems to come stock with randal 150's, but i already have a set of randal 180's and i wanna mix it up. I was thinking about putting on some bennett 6.0's, but Ive never ridden them. I heard they're super turny and pumpable? Do the bennetts have a high ride height?

If anyone has any information on how bennetts ride just post that too.

I'm just looking for a super carvy/pumpable mini setup.

thanks!

Gregory

The 6.0's are sorta high, but should be seriously pumpy and fun. Holey bushings. That is the first thing to get with 6.0's. The stock bushings suck for pumping and slashing. Mile High has the Holeys. For a 200 lb guy, red Holeys are really turny. So adjust your duro based on that.

What color did you get? Statutory Grape?

Yeah, bennets would definently be sweet on this board.

I have mine setup with randall 150's and love how it rides. I'm playing with bushing combos and got it close to a pumping setup now, but I also ride my buddies arcane mini a bunch setup with bennets (which are awesome), and I think they would work really well for pumping.

We set up a Gnome with some 6.0's today to take a pic or two for you. Ran 75mm Purtangs with no bite. The guys REALLY liked the setup. The Bennett's are very smooth, you have great turning ability with these.

Wow, those are some great photos! Thanks a lot for putting those up. They really helped me out. I was thinking about getting some purpletangs, but they're a little expensive, and i think i want something softer. It'd look cool though. I'll have to put in my order for some Bennetts somewhere.

Yes!!! Legendary is finally getting some recognition! It's a local company for those of us in the 757. Speaking of which, Ups needs to frikkin hurry up and get me my stuff so I can go and get some cutout help.

How long has Legendary been around? I only heard of them like a couple days ago. As soon as i saw some picture,s i knew i had to have one. and once i saw the price, i bought one on the spot haha. Great company so far from what i've experienced.
