I have been longboarding for almost three years now and I have recently got into doing downhill on smaller boards, I have decided to start looking at a downhill/slalom hybrid setup. I am looking for a setup that will be stable at high speeds, any suggestions.
For the board I am thinking about
- 313 bird fatcore
- fullbag seb leger

for trucks I don't know what to look at though, I want some thing grippy and stable. help?

Go to stoked skateboards, and get a look at the Slalocybins for trucks. Beware that while ABEC 11 is still making Reflex compound wheels, they're getting scarce as are Black-Ops Seismic/3DM wheels, so look into Sk8Kings for wheels (maybe even decks?). Fullbag ,btw, will do you well for a deck, certainly. Sandwichtechskis in Little, N.H., make a great GS/Hybrid deck, just pricey enuff to kill the budget, tho.

OOops, that last bit, for sandwichtech boards should read 'Littleton', N.H... It's a small town, not quite that small..
