My first long board.

Hello, I have just received a Gravity JP38 and was wondering if I should get bigger/different trucks. I currently have Indy 149 stage 10's on there. They seem just a tiny tiny bit too small.
I also want to get something a little lighter with the same turn geometry as the 10's...then I might upgrade the wheels to a 60mm, would I need taller risers? I am currently running 1/8 risers. The deck does have wheel wells cut out....suggestions are appreciated. I mainly skate street, downhill, ditches when I can, and banks.
The JP38 seems to flex more than other boards I've ridden, is that normal considering the size? Not to mention the tail is super mellow...a little akward to get used to.

Indy 169s should do the trick...not sure if you can get much lighter though in that size.

Yeah I think you're right...

A sideset wheel will widen the track a good bit.

^^^^ so a set of flashbacks would be good.

I need to get some of those 85a Rainskates Tsunamis. What brands makes a sideset wheel?

I had a set of Creature Oj3's...didn't like them one bit. Never heard of the other 2...I'll be sure to check them out. Also, would 169's make much of a turning difference? From what I've read, the wider the truck, the wider the carves. Anybody know about Trackers Darts 161's?
