i've heard that originals are really floppy and hard to balance on. i like sidewinders if they are set up right. not too tight, and with good bushings.

Better at what? If you mean bombing a hill at anything over say 20ish mph then pretty much anything is better although there are a few tricks to help that. Just put some better bushings in them and try different setups/combinations like tinypete said. The stock ones suck especially the black ones. They're great for carving and a lot of fun in general tho.
