I think bertz are good at berts... but I can't be sure...

OH WAIT, JAY ADAMS RODE BERTZ(I saw it in a movie), therefore they are good at berts, QED.

I just need recomendations on wheels, trucks, and risers.

I want this to be a small setup that I could take to school and could learn to slide on as well.

Wheels: like D0 said, get some Bertz if you are going to do berts! or, any other hard wheel would work....

Trucks: Basically any truck will work, they play a small role in sliding....

Risers: Maybe throw some wedged risers in there to make it a better carver/cruiser. risers are mainly to prevent wheelbite.

and could learn to slide on as well.

for berts, they will be fine, for trick sliding, they will be too grippy and will probably cone too fast

Jay Adams most certainly can bert a few and is easily one of my favourite skaters, but no-ones berts are as nice as Stacey Peraltas.

i had these really good rollerskate wheels - "hyper rollo" or something they were called. they worked really well for berts.

i reckon pretty much anything is good - if you've got the move wired you can do 'em on anything. i prefer softer 78as though...

dont think trucks matter either...

a shortish deck is good but longer feels fun as well...

berts feel awesome when you get a good one but don't get hung up on it - its not the only trick in the book!
