Austin, if you can't find the Louis Ricard in any shop, it is available on our website right now. But the shipping address as to be in North America.
Coarse griptape: go for it.
Front truck: Bennett 4.3 with 5° to 10° wedging.
Rear truck: Tracker RTS 106mm with 20° dewedging is a good start on the Ricard.
Wheels: 70mm Zigs or 69 mm Hot Spots
Bushings: you have it right.
Wheelbases: 19.75" - 20.25" - 21" on the Ricard will fit whatever you want to do.

New to slaloming and Bunch O' Questions
So me and my friend have wanted to get into slalom for a while. Me I have been in the DH scene, but want to try slalom-ing.
I have a Sketch drawn to give to a custom builder because the only other deck I like is the Fullbag Louis Ricard and I cant find that one anywhere.(If you have it for sale Lemme know)
I aim for the custom board to look like http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/f ... 1356892661 Its the first board I actually liked.
Specs of my custom board (estimate) and Questions.
Length:32-34
Width:9 at front, then taper to 8.3 then back to 8.7 at tail. (I don't have much understanding so feedback would be great on this topic)
Wedge on the tail: ????????
Do I use Coarse griptape?
Trucks: front :Bennett 4.3 Back: Tracker Rt-s
wedging:??????
Wheels: ??????
Bushings: many people reccomend reflex for Bennett and chubbies/eliminators for RT-s
Wheelbases:???
I guess I want to partake in HS and GS ? but want to fiddle around with straight DH.
Thank you for reading and please help me out!
