get lows or mids and put risers on them. They end up being the same height as high trucks.

Lows are fine. It is all preferance. You get wheel bite no matter what unless you sport mad tight trucks.

I have never had low trucks. I think that low trucks are for flip tricks and more tech stuff and highs are good for grinding.Right?

I skate lows with big wheels(56-58mm, no risers) and the wheelbite has never caused problems.
there's a tiny noticable difference between lows and highs, and it most likely wont affect you much

Get a pair of mids, then you can have the best of both worlds.

low rise makes the waist line lower, so you show off more of your ass or something. or it makes it look better or something. not like the teacher-ass where is like 4 feet long.

low trucks are just lower to the ground, and high is higher. high trucks are mostly about 1/4 higher than lows. lows are good for more techy people, and highs are good for like.. if you carve or go fast or maybe to bigger things. i like mid.
