    Default Poll: Randals or Paris?

    Which truck do you prefer and why?

    I haven't had experience with either but based on friend's recommendations I just ordered randal 180s with my dervish. So what's your opinion (and why)?

    Paris 180s are nice... but I wouldn't setup a DH board with them. I'd prefer 42* randals...

    there is, buy a paris truck then buy the baseplates you desire.

    and if you want a randal 50 plate with a paris hanger thats ridiculous as the paris is set at 50.

    o and this thread is one of many, the consensus is that people prefer both. no reason to poll opinions on a personal preference.

    search function is your friend homie.

    but for starters Venom bushings are a good place to start, the standard or super carve packages are good for carving. what's your weight? if you are average (like 130-170 maybe) 85a is a great duro.

    other bushings are Sabre and Reflex bushings.

    what hes saying is that there have been hundreds of threads with polls like this where the community has already compared their imput on what truck they prefer. Learn how to use the search function rtard.

    this is an age old battle that will never be settled. the Paris VS Randal dilema is almost as bad as the Dervish VS Vanguard dilema, OH NO!!!!!!

    look, you really cannot go wrong with either tuck, they are both built very well. they do have different feels, but its hard to find a good opinion on either truck because everyone's views on here contradict themselves so you end up just stumped and more pissed off about not knowing what to get than you were before you started this lovely thread.

    both trucks are relatively inexpensive, get both and find out whats right for you, that is really the only way you can choose a truck to your liking, not based off what some 13 year old said on the internet.

    if you're willing to wait i'd hit up the new paris's coming spring of next year, same solid bushing seat but with a beefier hanger and truer eight mm axles.
