    Default Which trucks?

    So I am planning on buying a sector 9 off the wall 2 deck. Should I get seismic trucks, if so which ones? If not what trucks should I get and I don't want to spend a lot of money.

    I have a cheap globe tracer board and it does the job but I can't do much with it. I just cruise going downhill and uphill, but would love to carve which I can't do with my current board. So, which trucks?

    well lets see. first of all NO NO NO TO SEISMIC TRUCKS! those stupid springs never give you a good feel, never give you the turn angle you desire and they'll pop out mid-hill (happened to me ).
    You should probably just get the sector 9 sidewinders that the off the wall 2 comes stock with. My friend has a that same board with sidewinders on it and loves it to death. If you're buying the board separate, go for some bennet vector 6.0 or paris 150 if you want some really great carving fun.
    If you just want a cheep option, try just playing with the bushings and putting cone type bushings in a low durometer on that board you already have.

    Your deck of choice is a drop through cut specifically for Sidewinders.

    Indy's and Fastracks should fit. Seismics may fit with a bit of work.

    Might another deck suit you better?

    I really like the look of the off the wall 2. I saw it and held it and I fell in love. It's bigger than my current board, but 34 inches is about as big as I can go. No matter what I will get a new board, I just feel the need to.

    Okay, so now that seismics are out I found some cheap paris truck.
    Paris Longboard Trucks - 150mm Black/Raw
    How do you think these would suit be especially for the cheap price?

    The off the Wall is flushmount dropthrough.

    It is a bit of work to fit trucks with larger baseplates.

    you could always go with a set of gullwing missions, as brute said, the paris's have larger baseplates that will be a challenge to fit into the flushmount set of that deck.

    The board is awesome, but I want it to be better or something else that is way cooler so people know it's not a skateboard.

    seems like you don't get it,its a flushmount,so I guess you ain't chosing based on that,just in looks,if you are going for a s9 and want to save a buck check this Sector 9 Cosmic Rider 3 Mundaka Complete Longboard

    and if you want to spend more money,just go to Mile High Skates

    and pick a good board,there is more than s9 out there.
