    Default Survey - truck width, for what

    I have great interest in what riders are doing and with what width trucks.
    Since my youth I have been facinated with the function of the truck. I am a bowlrider but I want to know about slalom, sliding and DH ....all of it. The collective sum of your information with forever surpass my starting up R&D in a new area so I would really would like to hear your comments.

    You do what, with what width?
