50 is going to limit you choices.

Anytime I think I'm awesome and want to try flippity shit I go for 52/51 mm bones V2, as I also like how they lock into grinds. MAny more wheels out there at the size.

this, i went down to 50s from 54s and pretty much hated it. it took a session to get used to the height change, my indy titaniums felt low like thunders and my timing was all off. they didnt skate bad once i got used to it, but that was on a smooth park. once i took them to even sort of rough parking lots it sucked. ill probably stick in the 52-54 range from here on out.
Man the long board truck thing killed indy for me. I was willing to set aside the racism, but long boarding, gtfo... - DH

I'm skating some 101a Prize Fighters, they're pretty good imo.
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.
