Bear Smokies Vs. Bear Grizzlies

ok so i have some 10mm bear grizzlies, and i'm trying to decide if it is worth stepping up to some smokies. i know smokies are nice trucks, but can i get some people to say pros and cons about them, basically convince me if they are worth it and why or why not.

Its gonna feel weird and you may or may not like riding smokies because they have sphericals and some (like I) don't like them others do. Its a preference thing. It would be good to try them out somewhere on a small hill to get an idea if you like them or not. But if you can't you'll be taking a gamble.

but once you get used to precision trucks they carve smooth as butter. if u r wiling to spend tjhat much money you should trie them, they are really smooth but very different. like m1 said, its a gamble.

Wtf is this? Spam?

what the hell was that? anyways, i recommend you trying the trucks out if you can before dropping over $250 for them.

im assuming you would use it as a DH truck right?

I know they suck drop-through. I rode a hellcat with them and they didn't turn for ####. Much better on topmounts from what I hear.

he's using them for sliding, what else would you use smokies for? if you have a drop down (nemesis,evo, dh race, etc.) or topmount (avenger, s9 race, etc.) then i say go for it. but if you have a drop thru then stick to grizzlies.
