    Default DH truck recommendations?

    I'm wondering what your favorites are for bombing hills, but without completely sacrificing carvability. I have plenty of super carvy trucks, and am looking for something more stable, but that I can still use to carve off speed. Crails seem pretty popular, everybody & their mother are riding Randall DH's, and I tried some Radikal Talons which are super sweet but robo-expensive. (Not sure about deck choices yet, thinking about a PPS hill killer or a Subsonic swift.) Your thoughts?
    I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.

    im a fan of crails myself witha simple change of the bushings you can go from carve to stable.

    the subsonic isnt really a downhill deck

    if you are looking for a top mount like the hill killer also take a look at the rayne avenger from what i have seen the thing has got one nice deep concave

    I would definitely go with crails. They can be super stable, yet with a quick bushing change you could definitely carve with them. Also, if you want carvability a lower speeds, crails are not that great. If your talking carving and 25+ miles per hour, then the downhill setup crails will be great. Its very important to know that downhill trucks can definitely carve-- its just that you need speeeeeed to make them come alive. 8) I hope this helps.
