just to let you know i owned one of these with the green wheels and it snapped after 6 months and after about 2months you suddenly feel the boards stiffness and cornering ability decrease rapidly so unless you are a beginner and intend to replace it very soon youve got a ticking time bomb on your hands. Vaults are legendaraly known for being a heap of shit

Works fine for sliding and those wheels will make it easier for a beginner. The truck mounting is not straight so attempting any DH is likely to end in carnage. The best thing you can do for that board if you can't afford a more expensive setup yet is to put some good bushings in the trucks (e.g. Venom SHRs or Sabres from Hopkin) as the stock bushings are twelve shades of horrible.

im new to the sport so im not sure what bushings are they the cylender thing inbetween the bearings in the wheels

if you look on the trucks where the bolt on the front is there are two red or green barrels these are bushings these determine how much resistance you have in turns softer bushing = more turn better slidng, harder = more stability better for DH correct me if im wrong dudes. i dont know wat vault bushings are but they arent realy good at either
