When combined with the JimZ bushings, they give it a really mushy, flowing feel, but they have *mondo* restance. I have em pretty tightened down on my Ladera though because of wheelbite. So I miagine if you ran them on a board with wheelwells, it would give the same surfy feel, but less restance.

As I said though, you have to cut them at the top so they will fit in the crappy bushing seat. And just to remind you....

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 4-5 maybe more months
What Setup are you running them on?: Evo and A Ladera Ripper tompount. 40*

***OLD GENERATION TRUCKS***
Typical Discepline?: anything really
How much did you pay for them?: I think they average for 40ish?
Where did you buy them?: stokedskateboards.com
What are their weaknesses?: The bushing seat sucks ass. the top of the hangar where the axle goes through bumps up and touches the bushing causing them to pop out of the bushing seat when riding. Shaving them down fixes this... for a while untile the bushing turns and it's touching tha hangar again. >:(
What are their strengths?: I'd have to say stablility. I've taken these to low 30's on a really small topmount with JimZ bushings and they were awesome.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: none yet.
Would you recommend them?: Undecided

I would not buy these again if they weren't the new release with black bushing set up. The new ones are flawless. They held good and stable hitting turns in the low 30's. I rode out of the wobbles in a turn even. Just remember to breathe and wear a helmet for when things get ugly...lol.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: Few weeks, 1st pair a few months.
What Setup are you running them on?: EVO Lime Big Zigs Reds 852's with Black Bushings!!!!
Typical Discepline?: DH and cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $45
Where did you buy them?: BEAR TRUCKS. com
What are their weaknesses?: The old version with orange bushings sucked. The hangers had zero bushing cups allowing the hanger to rock side to side on the king pin and only worked well tight. Another problem was that the pivot bushing holes were drilled too deep, and the hanger was metal to metal on the baseplate within days. I contacted Landyachtz and they were willing to send out new plates, but I talked them into the new completes with bushing seats. New ones are amazing.
What are their strengths?: The new bushing seats hold everything in place even while riding super soft bushings. The new black bushings feel better than the orange ones, even if it's in my imagination. Flipping the hanger reduces turning, making hill bombing a little more stable. Leave them up high and you get a bad ass carving truck, especially if you put in a softer outer barrel.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Too many to list.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
