| The skis seem to work best for a plate! I would go with sheet metal if your heavy. I am no expert on trucks. I am tiny so I have the smallest width trucks and happy with those. Welcome to the forum!!
: Hey beer hunter nice job on the plates doood.Your a lucky bloke to have witnessed the unique style and talent of Biff in the flesh.If you browse the pics in this forum there are quite a few various ideas for plate setup but you'll find not many folks using any regular rollerskate parts as they just were'nt made for this kind of punishment.As for siesmics,,I belive the stability ,turnability and tuneability(variable spring rates)are the standout features that hill based skaters rave about but I recon the weight is gonna be your biggest problem.Most any of the popular brands are gona have enough of all those good points without the weight factor,just gota find a brand that offers the width your after.Cannot go wrong with Tracker, Indipendent or grind king.By the by,,welcome to the forum mate,look forward to seeing what you come up with.
