i love to push on my long rides lets see who has what setup for when they feel like going back there primitive root Laughing

and with all the rain here in seattle you have to do a lot of pushing so lets see what you got.
Me-
board: LY Spud
Trucks: 10 mm Grizzly trucks
bearings: 10mm bear bearings
wheels: 83mm 75a Flys

Its a good board but its missing rain flaps so when i ride my legs get soaked but its still a very good board

My girl friends set up is similar.

LY Spud (of course)
97mm fly's (bought close to mint condition for lower than half the price)
Randal 180's

It just rolls over anything, be it cracks, rocks and edges.
I'm sure it'd roll over children, but I have yet to confirm this.

I myself roll a:

LBL Drop pin
Abec 11 Gumablls
Randal 180

Nothing compared to the Spud, but it works.
Probably the setup I've got the most mileage own simply because of its versatility.

This is what I would call my "go to" pushing setup now. I would almost say this board was a direct result of last May's ultraskate, where I pushed the entire time on a rollsrolls carbon sportster, and my feet and joints paid the price.

The deck is stiffer and wider than Mark's Cambiar stock board, and the aluminum brackets have their own sweet flex. The only thing I'm not totally comfortable with on this are speeds over 25mph, but mainly because I'm running a front Bennett on a dropped deck.

Depends:

Dervish, Randals, SpeedVents or BZs (Down [small] hill and screwing around)
Loaded Pin, Chargers, Zigs or Flashbacks (For college commute)
Ed Eco, Randals, Gummys or Speedvents or BZs or Flashbacks (For impressing the ladies)
Gravity Spoon nose, Trackers, Sick Sicks (Bank riding)
Vintage Mike McGill (ca. 1988), Vintage Rat Bones, Venture Trucks (For when I am nostalgic)--actually a student gave this to me last year. It was his brother's old board. I was more of a Barbee or Underwood model person back then.

And.....

"There be a Bennet an that binding arrrrr"

So does that count as a Pusher? Confused

Even if the setup had side winders it could still be a persons dedicated pushing setup. Heck, the board wouldn't even have to be low to the ground.

As long as the person feels comfortable using it as a pusher, be across New Zealand or to the local mart, a person can call it his or hers dedicate pusher.

... In my opinion.
