    none...if you bought the board complete it would include some 66mm wheels. since the slide pack comes with 60mm wheels, you will have no problems with wheel bite...also, the slide pack comes with shockpads, so those raise your trucks about an 1/8"

    Is the complete version better than buying the deck and the setup kit?

    Hey agent wd-40, do you think i would be better whacking some 96a no skoolz on my santa cruz and using that for sliding instead?

    i think that buying that pack is a good idea. those wheels are center set so if they ever cone, you can rotate them. no skoolz are great wheels and slide real well. or if you want, you could buy a new set of wheels for sliding purposes only...just my opinion

    Are your 96's good for the park too? Or are they a bit slidey?

    What kind of park are you skating? The 96's might even be considered a little soft for park, and a little wide.

    Well it's a typical crap british park, mixture of skatelite, tarmac, wood, and metal.

    'The level' in Brighton which is mostly wood, and 'The shithole' in Burgess Hill, which is your typical, average joe of a crummy skatepark, skatelite surfaces, poorly placed boxes etc etc. And a larger one in Horsham which is quite good. And wooden also.
