Got a nice new deck sitting here and I now find myself in possession of some star skate vouchers :wink:

So I reckon some new trucks/wheels are in order. Anyone got any suggestions I'm keen to try something different.

This one...present from a mate in London when he came over last year.

Pretty similar to my Santa Cruz but not sure what wheels/trucks to go for. It's about 8.2 I think with a standard wheel base.

your santa cruz is 14.5 wheelbase. if the new one is any shorter than that set it up as a mini ramp board.

Finally got all the pieces together and are ready to roll!
Pitty about the weather....

Comes with 62mm/ 98a Rainskates...very 80's looking
but great looking profile and apparently these little
babies have both speed and grip.
