    Default Trucks for sliding

    What trucks are good for high speed slides? I been using Randals on all my boards and i was thinking trucks with a lower turning radius will be better for slides.

    Maybe a truck with a lower CG like Indy's or something would be better, but it's mostly the wheels and length of the deck that you use that makes a difference.

    i think inde or tracker, but it's just a guess.

    i figure bad hanger angle=better slides.

    My Randals work fine. You could use them. I didn't realise that trucks actually had much significance to sliding, I thought as long as they were loose, it only came down to wheels.
