    Default Lower Trucks

    So this summer, I want to cruise on my Hyper Carve (47"), but on a lower and turnier truck.. suggestions? R-II 150s are too high for my Hyper Carve. I want them low because I think I'm going to ride barefoot on this sometimes (for cruising and sometimes carving). And work on my cross stepping.

    Destructo 6.0's. I had them on my old HC, and they were the shizzz. Ask lettucefresh...

    Another truck to consider is the Fury 850. Very turny truck built nicely. Even has great bushings stock.
    My Quiver?

    Too many boards that I don't ride enough...

    I wouldn't know I was trying to be funny. Didn't work. I like trackers, the bent pivot does it for me. Cores are nive to if you are on a budget, they are like indys with a straight pivot.

    LadyK, I've got a pair of Destructo 6.5's and I can't praise them enough. Theyre shorter than Randal type trucks, but a bit taller than most conventional's, which gives them awesome leverage and turn great. If you want really low, look at the Core trucks. My friend has a pair, and I was amazed at how well they turn (almost like a midtrack). I suggest the Destructo 6's though, they'll turn awesome and be a bit more stable than the Core's.

    Core trucks with wedged risers will be turny as hell, but Destructo 6.0's and a thin shock pad will sit even lower and turn better, IME.

    Mark.. I'll let you know when I'm ready to purchase. For now though, I'm enjoying my Loaded Pin.
