* 65mm offset wheels 78A
The specs:

Been thinking about getting a heated wheel polarizer recently looks extremely fun
The trucks and board is too narrow. Wheels look like trash. DH'ing with Standard kingpin is Andrew Mercado shxt.. & everybody knows you don't go Andrew Mercado

Who said that share your setup is exclusively for downhilll.
It is a recreation of 60s and 70s skateboarding. It is meant for sidewalk surfing. It is a very squirrelly, agile cruiser, very funny on flat and slight slopes. I would be mad to take it on a hill.
PS At least the wheel are no Powells, ey?
@Logan Neikirk It is quite fun. It feels like a cross between Surfskate and Rollerskating on one foot.
I take it on pokemon hunts with my children. They play, I skate.
@Tino Elter just ignore that mouth breathing grandpa. This setup looks fun for just cruising and riding around.
@Tino Elter
The irony is that I'm riding standard kingpins in my profile pic, going down a hill
@Gabriel Fockler
actually I've been mogging quite well and focusing on my nose breathing, never been a big mouth breather
This is my polarizer.
The trucks are from some 70s/80s bananaboard (Similar to penny boards but predates pennys) I found at the thrift. The geometry is very close to suregrip rollerskate trucks. The hangars are a bit over 50mm.
I modified the trucks to fit longboard bushings by swapping the boardside nuts. I have a fatcone bushing sitting boardside on the front truck and it feels really good.
The board is literally a plank. The length is about right but its a shame it has no concave.
Griptape is meant for stairs lol
