Wtf I didn't even know Element made griptape.. The featherlights suck.. Most elements suck.. half the boards are bam's.. And he sucks.. I don't really like grind kings, but they're fine for starting. Wheels are a bit small, and Bone's are decent..

Good setup, but i'd change the deck for anything by Tum Yeto/DNA distribution/Deluxe.
Also, dont type each word with a capital letter, it blinds me. As I'm so nice I'll change it for you.

^^^ beans-
all risers do is help prevent wheel bite so no they arent that important
