its like any skateboard.  big wheels, loose trucks, risers may be needed.  if not, then no.

I hope one day Steve Austin is walking the street, I throw him a beer, and he stunners you.

i don't do a big truck with my zip zinger. tracker makes some nice little trucks that fit well and turn on a dime. i live in nyc and the short wheelbase is a must for dealing with traffic.

The new Bennetts are even better. Indy doesn't make 101's anymore... although 129's might do the trick. But, the new Bennetts- whew. Niiiicccce.

How do those Bennetts turn? Indy pretty much stole their design and geometry, so I'd think they'd feel familiar.

Good board. Wish the tail woulda been wider. I killed mine and just put together one of those liquor store boards from Whalecock. Im liking the shape a little better. Indys no risers,64mm/85a Rainskates Tsunamais.

They're probably the sharpest turning trucks out, right now. They are roughly comparable to an Indy 101, but, the geometry is a little bit more pronounced, and the overall quality is a little bit better. I believe the Bennetts are fully sand-cast, and drilled and reamed for the axles- fully old-school production methods being used, here. Virgin aluminum. But, you pay for 'em, too, they're running about $55 a set, on average.

The bushings are just the best damned bushings I've ridden in years. They're some sort of rubber formula- not urethane. They are stiff, yet squishy, at the same time. They give a lot of resistance, but, they're definitely not "hard" bushings by any means.

Most kids that try mine out find them almost "too" turny. They take a wee bit of getting used to. The 5.0's are pretty stable- so, that's what I'm riding. They're definitely owrth checking out, and definitely worth the price.
