    Default WHich trucks for a large...6ft long board?

    Well I Decided to make a decently long cruising board the other day and its pretty much done besides a couple more coats of stain and what not. The wheels i'm going to put on it are kypto85mm's but i can not decide on what trucks to get. I was thinking of the exkate 201's as those will let this monster somewhat turn and carve..but wasnt too sure as i have never used a board this large. Any ideas? p.s.will post pics later.

    How wide is the deck?

    I have Randal 2 180's on my 60" board, and it's 10" wide. The 201 Exkates are 180's, too.

    I'm thinking either of those two trucks.

    I'd go for Randal 180's.
    I have a 60" board set up with them and I can tell you it's really carvy and stable at the same time what will not happen with Exkate 201 concerning stability.

    That board is the one I ride the most. I really like the set up I have on it!!!

    I'll try to post some pics 60" board tonight...

    RII 180 is the way!!!

    Indy 215's are sometimes called 219s because when Indys went "Stage 9" all the trucks last digits (which were previously 6's eg 156 166 etc) became 9's (eg 169 etc) except the 215's which aren't 215mm wide at all.

    indy 215's are 180mm
    go with seismic 180mm (quick-quick)
    or exskate 201's which are 180mm
