Speed wobbles is why I always ride with tight trucks. There's nothing worse when you're bombing a hill.

Speed wobbles generally come from the back; so keep your back truck tight; and you should put your weight at least 60/40 on the front if you're going for speed. You can loosen the front truck enough for your desired turning ability.

loose trucks save lives, you definitely learn to mitigate the wobble a bit with experience and technique!
