if you want a board strictly for ripping around town/ people dodging on campus, these trucks are awesome

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 1 week
What Setup are you running them on?: sector 9 cosmic 2, bones hardcore soft on top/medium on bottom in back, medium up top/soft on bottom in front, 70mm 78A zigzags with biltins, no risers
Typical Discepline?: RIPPING, cruising, pumping
How much did you pay for them?: 42 shipped
Where did you buy them?: longboardstore.com
What are their weaknesses?: STOCK BUSHINGS SUCK. I was so disappointed when i got these trucks, then i switched bushings and sanded off the paint where you couldn't see so the bushings and pivot cups wouldn't be so squeaky, now they are perfect. They would get wobbles going over 25 but thats not what i got them for, i have another board for that.
What are their strengths?: very very snappy and smooth (after alterations)
What similar equipment have you ridden?: randal 180's (their stock bushings are better), invaders, indys
Would you recommend them?: Yes

yes, i know they arent from france. either way, these are some solid trucks. i wouldnt necessarily recommend em for DH (unless you threw in some stiffer bushings and wat not) but if you are lookin for a replacement pair of trucks....these are the way to go. they are delectable.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: about a month now.
What Setup are you running them on?: s9 trylam with retro 70's zigzags & stock bushings
Typical Discepline?: carving
How much did you pay for them?: 42.50 if i remember correctly
Where did you buy them?: thelongboardstore.com free shipping ftw!
What are their weaknesses?: the only complaint i have is that they can be too "turny." i mean when i push it sends my board all over the place sometimes. also, once u get going over 20mph...you start gettin the wobbles.
What are their strengths?: they are as smooth as butter and can carve like no other.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

the black hangers look cool and all (you know its true) but they kinda stick in the pivot when turning. its noticable when youre riding soft bushings. plus, they come with hardware, huzzah!
