Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: A few monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: 38" old school fish shaped board with C7 up front and C2 in the back. Had to put in 3/4" risers to avoid wheelbite because the front truck turns so hard. 76mm Abec 11 Gumballs.Typical Discepline?: Carving hills, pumping flats, cruisingHow much did you pay for them?: $57 for the C7Where did you buy them?: Amazon.comWhat are their weaknesses?: Clearly not stable enough to use for any serious downhill speeds, but then that is not what they are designed for. Considering the design, they are more stable than I expected.What are their strengths?: Amazingly tight turning radius. Super loose front allows surf-style slashbacks. So easy to pump it seems like cheating.What similar equipment have you ridden?: The only thing similar is the truck put out by Thruster USA, but the C7 is a much better truck.Would you recommend them?:
Yes

Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: all day todayWhat Setup are you running them on?: Carver green room c7 stock everything..Typical Discepline?: carving, crusingHow much did you pay for them?: the whole board was $160 shippedWhere did you buy them?: gonbot.comWhat are their weaknesses?: you can't stop riding them. The rest of your life will disappearWhat are their strengths?: They turn like nothing else. If you have ever wanted to surf the pavement, get these trucks. You will not be disappointed. The c7/c2 combination works amazingly and you throw your turns off your back truck just like a surfboard. The most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels.Would you recommend them?:
Yes

Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: A few serious sessionsWhat Setup are you running them on?: I'm running them on a S9 Carbon Trylam with 70mm 78a Dano's Downhill and abec 7 bearingsTypical Discepline?: cruising, carving, a little downhillHow much did you pay for them?: 70Where did you buy them?: Daddie's BoardshopWhat are their weaknesses?: Initially, they're so different than anything you've ridden that you're not sure what to do with 'em. Ride 'em for more than an hour or two and that's goneWhat are their strengths?: These turn harder than you can. They're increadibly agile, and go rail to rail really smooth. They're way more stable than you think they'd be. All in all, just a great set up.What similar equipment have you ridden?: Nothin really. Maybe a surfboard.Would you recommend them?:
Yes
