I have a Switchblade already, so this would be a second board. That this is about right for what i want to do: busting ollies, pop shove its, kickflips, etc. But I also wanna shred around a campus with stair sets and hills too, so this is what I was thinking, what do you think?

I would recommend a standard kp truck, like an indy 169 or 159, over the bears.

I too would recommend traditional geometry trucks, along with smaller wheels like 60mm NoSkoolz.

what they said.
also bushing wise you can get short bushings from venom, but short reflex and soft bones are good too.
and i'd go for a wheel around 60mm with a duro around 82a. I think 75a is too soft

Bones Hardcore bushings are great but the soft ones are really freakin' soft. I would at least go medium.
And yeah, 75a is probably softer than you want for wheels.

When I sell my dancer I'm thinking of getting the Earthwing Truster with either Indy 215s or the new Polar Bears. Personally, I just dig the Thruster over the Crewzer. I'm planning on using it for the same deal; campus shredding and some light freeride
