    if I were you I would either buy some new trucks(paris, bears) or get some new wheels(abec 11 or some sec 9 RFs) or another valid idea is get some new bushings and bearings to make your ride a little smoother
    any way you go you can't go wrong

    and try to stick with name-brand stuff so you don't get ripped off

    Raw Randall 180s for $30, Bone Reds for $5.40, Bone Speed Cream for $3.99. Also you can keep an eye on Slickdeals.net: The best coupons, deals and bargains to save you money! to see if any good deals in general comes up that people find.

    He has new black randals, why would he want raw ones? Haha

    Look in to getting some bushings maybe? The headphones sound like a great idea too.

    Cause they're inexpensive and if he happens to want/need a second set of trucks, then why not? Point is to just throw out ideas so he can decide isn't it?

    I guess if he's building a new board... I would say try another kind of truck though. Don't get another set of randals until others have been tried. I started off with reverse kingpin trucks then tried Indy hybrids and put the indy trucks on everything now. I've tried Paris, Randal, Bennett, Indy and Indy Hybrid. The Indy Hybrids are my fav.

    The stock bushings feel very mechanical to me. Not bad but not bouncy/surfy. You're riding the strike which isn't really a surfy board anyways. =P

    I went to the bustin store this past weekend btw. Met Solomon and a few of the other guys and gals. When the snow clears, maybe I'll do a sunday skate.

    BTW... if you get a new deck, I have a set of brand new bennetts I could sell you for a deal if you want to go with Bennett 6.0s.
