[ChristopherRobles]

What size are the trucks?

[VanZevenbergen]

is the drilling on this board old or new school? (i know it sounds stupid but i want to be 100% sure)

[sevenfold66]

@VanZevenbergen the drilling is new school

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

It's beautiful!

[missinglithium]

how long is that board?

[yczguy]

I have a 77 alba board were can you get trucks like that.

[SuperJman37]

@yczguy google it. they are called bennett vectors 5.0

[loneeagle321]

would you be able to set that board up with 75mm big zigs? i may be getting a very similar board

[Failproductions27]

green zags are for slidin o.O

[trystan877]

how long is the board because i saw one online that was 29.75 inches ans 7.75 wide

[jakethetoke]

What wheels would you recommend for this board, i really want 1 but dont know what wheels to get with it. please help??

[sevenfold66]

@jakethetoke what brand of wheel doesnt matter that much but tunnels is what i would go for with a soft durometer

[VanZevenbergen]

@jakethetoke if you really want to go retro get some caddillac wheels. those are the original brand they rode and they come in this sweet cany apple red color that fits right in with the color of the die cut. only problem is they're hard to find.

[miked1997]

@jakethetoke either 3dm cambria's or caddilacs. caddilacs were the original wheels they used.

[dyr234]

i have the board to im trying to get some retro zigg zaggs & ARNnNCK no they cant be used for a regular skateboard there to angled & there more for mini longboards like back in the 70,s & 80,s

[zaqw1111]

how heavy are these trucks?

[sevenfold66]

@zaqw1111 not to heavy

[carlosvg1986]

are those cracks in the tail?

[jakefenwickfilms]

does it skate well in pools and halfpipes

[epicfilmsunlimited]

go cry baby wah

[fl0w2]

what size are the bennett vectors

[Zombiekid69]

Try using .25 or .50 inch riser pads to get rid of wheel bite.

[ARNnNCK]

would you recamend the trks for a regular board, please reply back as soon as possible. thanks:)

[sevenfold66]

you could if you wanted to

[tdcollector]

make a vid of u skating u it!!!

[RichyRichyRichy123]

oh wait i didnt watch the whole video before i posted a comment

[RichyRichyRichy123]

where did you get it from?

[pixeline232]

one more question , it is laminated or solid wood ?

[sevenfold66]

its made of 7 layers of maple veneer

[pixeline232]

inyour opinion what is better buy , an alva like that or a z-flex jay adams cruizer ?

[sevenfold66]

well if your looking for a board with concave go with the z-flex but if you want to true oldschool ride go with the alva. i havent rode a z-flex so its kind of hard to say

[USER21946025]

I own both. the alva has a much more retro feel, however the z-flex is a much better ride. i use the z-flex cruisin the beach and rocking the bowls

[sk8erguy011]

sick.

[matt3365]

are the tracker mids still the same as bennets i mean like do they turns and handle as good?

[sevenfold66]

they dont turn as good unless you change the bushings. but i would go with bennett then tracker
