one of two things: 1) they could have better quality/stiffer bushings to handle the speed
or most likely 2) have nuts-o-insane balance.

one of my friends bombs with us at +40 and has it so loose the nut is fallling off the kingpin.

if you skate more with looser trucks you'll get better balance and should be able to handle speeds with looser trucks. that's what ive been doing for the past year or so.
