should i get risers or shock pads for this combination? I dont want to get any wheel bite.
you won't get wheel bite with that combo I skate the exact same combo and had 1/8 risers on but took them off and still never got wheel bite. I only used the risers to keep the deck from getting hairline cracks. 53mm with lows is right above the wheel bite curve, you can get wheel bite if your trucks are super loose, I don't like mine that loose so it's not a problem for me. Risers can make a complete differance in your skating also usally it's a bad change if you're not use to them, if you're jsut starting out it shouldn't matter to much if at all. I always go with the thinest ones possible usally 1/8.
