Hi, I got my first new custom complete skateboard at my local skate shop for around $140. Please rate my setup

DecK: 7.69 AWS rob and big
Bearings: Indy's lows
Wheels: Bones STF 52mm
Bearings: Bones Red
Hardware: 7/8 Shorty's
Grip Tape: Free generic grip tape at the store

What do u guys think of my skateboard? Shold i have bought something that i shuldnt have?

I also have a question, whenever i roll my skateboard on the ground, it always goes left, is it cause i have to wait for my trucks to break in or do i have to loosen/tighten my trucks?

thanks

nice setup! for indys, you're gonna want to get some harder bushings..my friend got a brand new pair and rode 'em...the bushings were too soft, so he cranked 'em down, and the top bushings split cuz of the pressure. i'd get some black bones hardcore or some hardish doh-dohs

let me know what you think of those bones wheels...they're not on the top of my list for new wheels, but the STF are definitely somewhere on the list

If the board was 8.25, everything was respectively the correct size, with 55mm wheels, I would skate the shit out of that set up. Real nice man. Change the bushings, etc.. like they said. haha, all amazing brands though, good choices.
