bones are nice, try like a 51mm or 52mm you'll get a little more pop out of them...

Get risers. It is biting the underside of your deck when you land. Or tighten up your trucks.

any pro wheels will do and on cribs with ryan sheckler he said that if you put your wheels in the freezer then they last five times longer!

Any physics to that?
The urethane molecules tighten up? They just go loose when they warm up on the hot pavement. And your wheel will shrink due to "cold-ness". Plus the urethane chain bonds will get stretched out I think. From shrinking and expanding. Resulting in a mushy wheel.

I didn't like the Ricta's I had. I like my Bones STF's alot better.

Not at all. Just a softer durometer of urethane. They don't make skateboard wheels out of rubber because it's WAY too slow.
