    Thanks guys all the suggestions are awesome, but I am really biased towards either GFH or Gravity. I do like the Ben Wei and Mini Classic, but the GFH trucks and the mini's turning is a huge help.

    If you set up the Ben Wei with Tracker Rt-s/x it turns very good, and if you put a Bennett 5.0 in front it turns even better(and will pump better too), personally I kept the RT-X in front as I don`t use the BW24 for much pumping and it feels a bit more stable when going fast.

    Mine has 129mm Trackers, wedged front truck, flat riser in rear, and 72mm Fish Balls.
    Yep, big wheels for a mini, but I just love the feel of those wheels.

    The Eco-Tech Mini from Gravity is my favorite board..... tough to beat for a composite mini. Now you can get them setup with Randal 125's

    Yeah I checked that out and it seems like the best option.

    Really it is hard to compare with a mini that has the 3" trucks. I'm sure the gravity is a great board, but if you want a mini, get a GFH mini and feel the difference. The problem (or issue) with other mini's is the fact that the ride just isn't the same. I know because we sell tracker 129 darts and I have tried them on the mini's and it really is not the same at all. It's like your settling for a board that just wasn't born that way.

    The GFH Twenty Seven, Native, are great boards. If you want a little smaller go with a pigme. If you want to go larger and you want a board that was designed around the mid sized truck try the Mitch Pirate or Octopus. www.gfhboards.com

    this thread has reached the limit of self plugs...if any more are added it will self destruct.


    BTW i would get the gravity... its turning is fine with the angled risers, and you could always upgrade the trucks..some tracker RTS/X would be sick. and with the midtracks stability might be an issue depending on your experience with minis
