Hi Dicko,
I've got a Pro race super drop wedge, thats designed to be a "race board", but i fang it round everywhere and everthing.
Randall R-II 180 unflipped, 50o baseplates so its pretty turny, and top mounted to clear the roll ins.
I ride it round town, parks, tranny (a little bit) and ditches.See photos from Ainslie.

I was grinding the trucks and deck at Ainslie and theres been no splintering or delam of any layers at all,
and I'm a fat bastard.
Great construction.
Wayne.

Cheers mate, sounds sweet as.
haha yeah im pretty big too so i was looking for a sturdy board so i can just do pretty much anything and not worry too much. im not really looking to race it just yet or anything, mainly just freeride and bomb hills with my mates but still something that will help me progress and go FAST!!!
i was looking at the unwedged model so i probably will drop it through though.
does anyone know how the force trucks go as they are what come with an FSU complete? ive heard they are like randals but turn better without sacrificing stability but not sure.

force are shit, they are just like randals like you said (they have no advantage over turn) but they are weak as piss... ive broken many force trucks in my time so have lots of people i know... also the bushings they come with are horrible... theres a reason why force trucks are cheap as shit and rarely available on the open market...

i have two sets of force trucks and love them for downhill and free riding or even a bowl truck, for the price they are a good truck, i have never really pushed my trucks through much stress besides some pre grab airs in the bowls and over a few hips in the park and they feel fine. Dicko if you can pick up a set cheap then i would get them
