I only got to skate this setup once because of the weather but I love it already.

I really like the slightly longer wb on this deck.
@Gabriel Fockler so do I. I'm 6'4" and never street skated so I'm not very comfortable on a normal street deck, especially for sliding. On this I don't even have to shorten my freeride stance at all.
I hope I'll be able to take up to some moderate speed but I don't have much experience with tkp's. If anyone has bushing recommendations LMK
How the Dragons slide compared to Pee Wees? I rode the first Pee Wees orange and blue ones and them slide a lot, I really like it. Nice setup.
@Václav What I run in most TKPs is an 81a Venom eliminator boardside with no washer if needed (especially for indys) and the stock bushing roadside. This gives a really supported but agile feeling setup for me at 160lbs. I've got this in my Ace 55s and it is impressively stable feeling at speed.
@ZIP Carvalho dragons are much, much slidier.
Pee wees are still very much a soft wheel, even the 82a, the slide slows you down a lot more and feels more in the pavement compared to dragons. Those are on another level. It might not sound like it but they slide about as much as a hard wheel. Long slides that barely slow you down at all, it feels like rainskating.
I haven't had a chance to skate the dragons much, it will take some adjusting coming from soft wheels. My favorite so far have been the g-slides, they're slidier/glidier than pee wees but I'm still able to keep them under control.
