Default Trucks for Bowling
Hello !

I have an old school board which I want to setup for bowling.

Right now I have a set of Sidewinders trucks and a set of Gullwing Alpine.

All the bowl boars i seen had standard trucks, so I dont know if either reverse kinpin or double kinpin trucks will help.

Any input on using these kind of trucks ? or should I get a good set of standard trucks?

thanks !

Get some Trackers, Indy's, Ace's or Orions. You'll be set.

Before you do, measure the width of your deck and match the truck axle width (not the hanger width) to the width of your board.

If it's old school, it's likely it's between 9"-10".
