    Default Mini questions

    I currently have a Timeline on Originals, but I think it's time for me to change. I'm thinking about getting the new dropped FSMini on hybrids (most likely 66 than 215) possibly with orange 70mm Alligators?
    My main uses for either board is for short commuting and cruising.

    Necessities are:
    Able to make tight turns; the perpendicular turns on the sidewalk corners comes up a couple times a day, nothing "crazier" than that.
    Pedestrian slalom.
    Stable garage bombing.

    Just making sure I make the right decision before I sell my Timeline. On my setup right now, I hit low 20s or so in the garages with a bunch of carving, but I want to go faster and carve less. The FSMini is pretty much set, but I need some good trucks and at least 70mm wheels.

    Long story short: Good trucks for FSMini on 70mm wheels for garages and tight/sharp turns.

    The Hybrids will serve you well, but as for wheels, assuming you want Grip, I'll suggest Mile High Skates or classic Lemon Zigs.

    Both of these will grip like hell, but they'll still slide/drift if you push them hard enough. I think the Gravity formula has a very smooth predictable drift, and I've heard that the Zigs have a slightlier Choppier drift, but they're still faster and grip a bit better. They're also $10-$15 more, so if you're on a budget, go with the Burners.

    I like my grippins for being grippy wheels and they come in 70... I have em in 78a and I've never been able to break em out yet. Take that with a grain of salt though, considering I'm working on the sliding thing right now.
