I'm not certain though. apparently gummy tape is horrible though :/ I think I've seen white/grey tape. I was just checking out local places that produced that kind of stuff that would be suitable to use as fingerboard tape and there was one place that did. Gummy tape is horrible. Well, when it's new, it's actually pretty nice and is very quick to wear in to a good suitable amount of grip. It's just that after about 2 weeks, the grip will start to really expand and the adhesive won't be as good as the foam will slide around on the top of the deck. I wouldn't mind too much if it was just the tape that wasn't long lasting but the residue from the adhesive is the most annoying I've ever come across. It's ridiculously tedious to remove, it takes me like 30 mins - 1 hour from constant scraping or rubbing until I get it off. |

I like to ride my trucks loose i realy have no money for brt's ore y's Propaganda 2Tone Orion trucks are on the Blackriver store. the trucks are china, but they seem to slide better, have more durable paint and better colourways, also they are a big part of the european scene. Spinal wides are also good, you can get them at inexpfingerboard.com again they support the french and european scene. |

and are the bushings good? all bushings are the same really, and if you want you can get inverted kingpins like on FBS, and install them yourself. If you want trucks already with that kind of tuning, check out B-Low fingerboards. they do different stages of tuning on their trucks so you can choose what you want |

| professional trucks i would say are the least important thing on a setup. if you really want them, they are far better than china wides, but they most in essence do the same thing and you can perform at basically the same level with either. |
