they've got a great reputation, and they seem to uphold it very well. you can use these on a carving board, but with a simple bushing replacement, you can turn that into a stable DH machine.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: over a year
What Setup are you running them on?: many setups, currently on a feralarts with soft noskoolz
Typical Discepline?: sliding or cruising...depends on the setup
What are their weaknesses?: short kingpin, a bit finicky to tweak. also, wheelbite prone under some conditions (but what truck isn't?). finally, the stock bushings blow...unless you put them in combination with some other aftermarket brand.
What are their strengths?: very turny, yet can be set up to be stable. very solid, reliable brand, and they're widely available at almost every skateshop
What similar equipment have you ridden?: tracker darts and racetracks, venture 129's, core 6.0's
Would you recommend them?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
