Do I need new trucks?

[free twitch]

Hey, I recently purchased a 10" x 30" deck and some powell mini cubic 64mm-95a wheels. This is my first old school setup, I've been riding trick decks. I currently use 8" deadbolt trucks with risers, so my question is, will these do fine with the 10" width of my new deck? Am I missing out on the board's potential by not getting some 9" indys or trackers? I don't really feel like dishing out $30-40 for another inch of trucks. I haven't been able to try the board out yet cause I ordered online and it has yet to arrive. Also, does anybody have experience with the mini cubics? Are they too hard to carve? I don't feel like having the board slip out and lose half the skin on my face. kinda long post. thanks.

They will "work" but it will ride a lot different than a setup with wider trucks. It will seem a bit squirrely with narrow trucks. There is nothing wrong with making an upgrade in a few weeks or something when you have the funds.

Those Mini-Cubics will grip very nicely. Big wide contact patch and 95a duro mean lots of grip. You can push those pretty hard without worrying about slipping out.
