Its 46 inch by 10 inch with gullwing chargers and 70mm 75a sector nine wheels
thats a great all round board. nothing for downhill mind you but it has a "W" concave for locking your feet in.
really depends on your skill. i would be able to take it up to around 40 cause im pretty crap but someone in to downhill might get up to 70k's on it. just keep pushing yourself. the trucks are downhill trucks so they are fine to. it shouldnt be wobbling unless u loosened em heaps. have fun
You could do most hills if you change the bushings in the gullwings remember its 98%rider 2%board.
How do i change the bushings and how much will it cost to buy new ones?

its just a matter of undoing the kingpin (the big nut in the center of your axle) and you should be able to take the top bushing and washer off, then the hanger should come out no problem. just google how to change bushings or there is most likely a youtube video which might help better to actually see it in person. price depends on what brand you want, click on the hopshop (hopkin skate) banner on the right of this page and there is a bushings link on their homepage
Between $5 and $20 a pair depending on how premium you wont to go. $5 will give you the standard shapes and duros (hardness) above that will get you the premium urethanes and dedicated downhill bushings.

depending on what you want to do, it ifs more downhill oriented get some harder barrels (khiros $6, Venom $14-$19, Reflex $12), or if its more carving and cruising get softer cones. I have venom red and green barrels and they work great.
try em all out, because bushings are one of the things that can majorly tweak your ride.
