Just looking for suggestions. I just recently received an 8.38 Flip Rune P2 Deck. I haven't set it up yet but I've been leaning toward riding a vert ramp in my area and wanted some suggestions on setting it up. Right now I've got a pair of Thunder High 147's and some 54mm Spitfires.
I wasn't sure if I should go with a bigger truck and wheel size? I finally work close enough to the ramp where I'll be able to get at least 3-4 nights week riding time in.
I was thinking INDY 149's with some 56-58 Bones Skate Park Formulas or some Spitfire Parkburner and bones swiss. |

Yeah, stuff in this range should be good. You may want to go 60mm wheels, but whateves.
You'll probably need some pads too... |

| Just went with a pair of Indy 149's this morning with some 60mm Spits and some 187 pads. Hoping the cojones drop while I drop in. |

Put your balls in your back pocket and go for it.
Make sure your trucks are snug, not too loose.
Have fun!  |

| Success. Went to Rye Airfield in New Hampshire. Got some axle stalls and kick turns in. New to vert but not a complete tranny newb. Ate it a few times but it was worth it. |
