| grippiest wheels are closeup wheels and ywheels. Imo they're both way too grippy, you cant powerslide even if you try really hard.. |

| yea if you don't use a top washer on tkys they'll die mega quickly - also if you use a washer that's bigger than the one that comes with standard brr bushings (tkys should come with said washer) then that's best, the REALLY small one from brr sstandard can cause them to break also. |

| Thanks Danny and Kerry So say if I put a top washer on that's from Riptape tuning on top of the TKY's, I'd be good? and another QQ, What's the difference between BRT's and Y Trucks besides the look? |

| no brandon sandpaper would ruin your trucks. dont ever do that i tried and it sucked. also now my question: what camera would you recommend to me? i want something with quality like a vx, or a gx, or anything like that, but something like a camcorder. and i want one that can have interchangable lenses. but if you cant find one with lenses then thats cool too. i just love the look of all those vx skate videos |

| sandpaper will work a treat yeah.
make sure its over 400 grit though.
wire wool would also be good......or a green kitchen scour pad used dry. |

tkys are far better for brts. they work great soft. |
