Instead of focusing on grippier wheels, focusing on your form through turns will help much more.

Mischo rode vernon with a different style then everyone else, for qualifying he ran solid duro.
But for the heats he chilled at the back and went slow and just kept with the pack then when eveyone went full tuck into the right hander, he stood up footbraked and airbraked.
Everyone else scrubbed some speed around the right he gripped and passed everyone. The reason he ran harder in the front is for the eccalaration boost out of the right.

yes...practice your heelside and toeside form through turns. Dragging asses and overturning shoulders is a one of the common things I see and by fixing those errors you can regain a lot of grip.

Default Re: your dh setup
When in DH, you want the board to either drift, or in some cases, grip. Thats why some people use soft wheels (for the drift) or harder wheels for sliding. However, on a board like Mischo's, it is impossible to REALLY drift because the board is so low that hes gonna go sliding all over the place. But its fast. So, its really super simple. Hard wheels in the front (or back) and soft in the middle. Cmon guys lets get our facts straight.
