when i had mine mounted up there was an obvious dead spot with a lot of play without turning, they had a weak return to center, and they would slide out so much in the rear because they turned a lot. these thing would just have a little play in the center before you started your turn, then dive in, then lose traction. getting the hardware on was awkward at best, since a standard skate tool butts up against portions of the baseplate.

if you want to turn a lot, these fit the bill. other then that, i cannot reccomend these.

Had the original demo board in our fleet for months, most people who demo this board would return it complaining of squirliness. When you apply pressure to the rail it immediately slams to the bottom, perhaps it was a super flexable deck combination but the first person interested in the board, I sold it to cheap. He came back the next day with a broken truck... I fely bad so sold him a set of Randalls at cost and the board had a much more predictable ride after that. Original continued to send me a bill for the demo board but never responded to my calls letting them know I did not want their product and to send a call tag and pick it up. I highly reccomend using a different truck and would only send an exgirlfriend down a hill on these.
