I'll even go one step further. I have the connections to put together a very low cost slalom board setup. Why don't I? Several reasons. One being it's a very limited market.

Fatty does!

I run a Bennett front truck and Alligator wheels - 60mm bottle green for tight or courses that I have too much speed, and 71mm Red, Orange, and Yellow for GS and everything else.

The speed seems to be right there with other wheels and I've never had them slip
