    10mm x 10mm bearing spacers are too big for 8mm trucks.
    Ditch the Super Swiss Bearings and get more inexpensive bearings.


    However, what do you plan on using the board for? I have personally not have had the chance to try Seismic trucks but I have not heard a lot of praise for them as compared to other trucks. They were designed for pumping in mind, not bombing etc.

    Like the other poster said, get cheaper bearings. Bones Reds will work fine.

    I would suggest Gravity Burners instead of Grippins, or Retro ZigZags instead of the Grippins. I love my Grippins, but I'd prefer Burners for DH due to their grip.

    Seismics are fine, although maintenance is a bitch. Get Paris 180s if you don't want to deal with the maintenance.

    Try some revenge alpha2s its best for beginners to develop balance for carving just don't go bombing hills with them but they are really good trucks and if you get them on Skateboards, Longboards, Old School Boards and more from Skates on Haight! they are cheap like 35 bucks
