ok.

paris - gravity cast, cosmetically alot better looking and somewhat higher quality. Bushing seats are deeper and provide more rebound, comes with bushings that would resemble that dried up dog #### you see on the sidewalk.

randal- Comes with alot more baseblate angles for versatility. Bushing seats are ok but you can definately tell the difference between paris ones. not gravity cast so bubbles in the metal are almost ensured. Not as aesthetically appealing as paris.

I have had both Randals and Paris on my Dervish and they`re both good.
While I do prefer Paris for speed, on a all-round board as a Dervish it really doesn`t matter IMO.

^^ I think the carvier the board, the more springy reboundy action you want back. So I would put paris on a dervish. but it's preference

i run paris' and my friend runs rans, so ive ridden both fairly extensively. as said, paris' are more appealing to the eye, and the bushing seat is more restrictive which is nice, but in comparison, the stock bushings that come with the paris' are garbage to the stock randals . also paris' are china made where rans are usa made.

I own both Randals and Paris and I've tried them on my Dervish. I love Randals way more better than Paris because Randals feel more stable. Paris feels too turny for me.

made by illegals in USA? I have never seen a foundry in California that was full of tax paying citizens.

Paris are amazing and mine came with Venom Bushings.

I got my sis some Pink randals and IMO they ride like shit!

I hate them and the stock bushings suck. Feels more stable but for a dervish I would go paris

Randals all the way, most of us switch the bushings out anyway. Stronger axles buddy! I own both. Both fine trucks though.

Chicks would pick the paris, randals are a man's truck!

Yea but with Paris there is no need to buy new bushings....

I run paris' with randal yellow cones all around, and to me it feels like the perfect setup for it.

**Turon** · 01-26-2009 11:01 AM

i would def go for the paris trucks, the randals tend to be super twitchy for me even with a bushing upgrade. The Parises are a nice mix of carve and snappiness without feeling too dead, and the new venom bushings are pretty sweet in them. THe randal red cones have a horrible return to center and make even a fun board feel dead.
