Hey, guys!
I skated a bit of street when I was in high school, but was never great, so I kinda gave it up, but never stopped loving skateboarding. I'm 29 now and I've been skating longboards for the last 4-ish years, but I'm still craving an old school setup, so I'm going with the
10" old school Ripper. I'm mostly gonna use it for cruising, light flatground, and I'm gonna attempt some bowls/mini ramps.
I'm not as familiar with parts for this deck, so I'm looking for help. I'm thinking 169 Indys with 85a or 90a Rat Bones or 159s with G-Bones. Should I get risers? Go with Reds? I was also wondering if there's any grip tape I could get that wouldn't cover up the top graphic like some PP decks.
Cheers!

In my experience Indy 159s work with offset wheels like rat bones. Indy 169s work better with centerset wheels like g bones.
1/4” hard risers with 1.25” hardware.
Any bones bearing is great! The more you spend the better the bearing.
Buy a sheet of 10” mini logo or Jessup grip and cut it yourself.
Does anyone have a photo of the PP tailbone on this Ripper? Wondering how it'll fit
it is precut shaped grip for top graphics http://oldschoolskates.com/detail.aspx?ID=1156
Check out my profile pic. I cut the grip using the lid of an oval crockpot, then carefully placed it down where there is exactly a 2.5” space on both sides. Looks rad and it’s easy. Just take your time and be sure to have at least 2 brand new razor blades.
