The Loaded Question

[RTIV]

Ok, so my first board was a Bustin Cigar with M1 Gullwings and Bustin Boca wheels (66mm 81A)

I am now thinking of going with the following setup...

42" Flex 2-(100lb - 180lb)
Landyachtz Grizzly 184mm (8mm Axle)
Abec11 Gumballs 76mm 81a
Powell Bones Super Swiss 6, Yes - Bearing Spacers


I like to Carve and do a lot of footwork.... Speed and sliding secondary.

What do you think....

i think that grizzly's feel weird on dervishes .... weird as in not good. anything else looks good.
Chargers and randals work best.
just get yourself some good bushings and you should be fine.

Trucks: GullWing Chargers, Paris 180, or Randal 180.
Go with softer wheels.

Trust this guy ^

He knows what hes talking about when it comes to speciing out loaded decks. I have a Dervish with Paris and Big Zigs that I bought from MHS and it carves like a dream. I had to replace the stock Paris bushiongs with harder bushings but I weigh over 200. The only thing that Im not too crazy about is the stock grip but that isnt MHMs fault.

Ok so I will dish the Bears! It is now between the Paris 180 and the Gullwings (So far I have one post for the Paris). Why softer? Is softer that much better for carving? When I do start getting into sliding with the softer wheel hold me back?

Thanks Again in advance....

Gumballs drift away pretty easily, even in the softer duros. A better choice would be Powerballs, IME.

I like the feel of Randals better than Paris personally but there both very similar, you can't go wrong. If you go paris definitly ditch the stock bushings.

Ok, so you strike my next question... Bushings...

I am 165 pounds. I like to pump hard and then break into large carves with some sliding. I mostly stick to footwork and carving. What busings would you suggest to get me started in learning to tweak my board?

Could you also link me to a site on where to buy them....

Stock Randal bushings will be fine to start with. Same with GullWing Chargers.

i just ordered some paris and lemon bigzigs so ill have to tell you what i think...but my vote goes to the paris (with some new bushings of course)

sounds good
gumballs slide terribly though
honestly i would go with lime big zigs and paris trucks
but your choice

I am leaning towards the Paris's.... I keep hearing about the need to swap the bushings... what and where can I go to do that?
