    Default Uptrucks, annybody tried them?

    And how do they ride? It seems to me it might be a big disadvantage that you can't ajust them.

    I've ridden them. They're ok, nothing special in turning performance. They are light weight which is a benifit for carrying your board.

    im pretty sure the original uptrucks were made for more street/park oriented skating, but their new longboard model is made for carvations and cruisin and such, i dunno how they would handle speed though, i think longboard larry has ridden them a good amount...

    They're not bad. I have a set that I need to ride more, but they keep getting bumped lower on the list. One thing's for sure, it's a little un-nerving to look down and see them moving so much.
