I like the stability of the low slung board...so I want to give the taller wheels a try with that config before I (?)put the board up above the trucks.. Thanks again for your your videos. I have watched them many times.

Great diving too...but I think I will SKIP that!!!! Yikes!!!!

Hi again Bob. got my board done. You saw in my vid how I have the deck slung under the trucks, but with 10.5 inch wheels that puts the deck a little too low. These wheels are also 3/8" axle, so I cannot just switch to my 12.5's(as they are 1/2" axles...argh!)...so I am setting up another pair of trucks with 1/2 inch axles so I can use the 12.5 wheels.
