You only need risers if your wheels are larger than 54-56mm, they are to prevent wheel bite. A lot of people don't use them unless they need the extra clearance for bigger wheels. I ride 54mm and don't use them for example. 78a is as soft as wheels go, they are very grippy so sliding is harder than 86a or 92a, like for a 180 or shuv you'll have to fully rotate before landing, otherwise the board will stick and throw
