im not very educated in the field of trucks. so i was wondering if the gullwing charger that i have on my board are any good and if they are worth keeping. if not, what are some recomended brands

chargers are an ok first truck, theyll definitely do the trick, but its always recommended to switch to paris, randall, or grizzly trucks

Do you like them? If so, fvck popular opinion. If you ride something else and like it more, consider changing then.

i like mine and i think they're fine trucks
good carving and i've taken them 30ish with the kingpin all loosey goosey
if you get into more serious riding, then consider switching them out

It's all personal preference. I have Chargers on my Dervish and I wouldn't even think of swapping them for Randal/Paris/Bear.

To the OP: I suggest you ride them for a while, let the bushings break in, etc. and see how you like them. If you dig the way they feel, keep them! If you don't (or try someone else's trucks and like them better), then swap 'em. But there's no sense in getting rid of gear if you don't have a feel for whether you enjoy it or not.

if it aint broke dont fix it!

i bet half the people here wouldnt be able to tell the difference between chargers/randals/paris/bears during a blind test ride.

I love mine, and i have ridden the s#%^ out of them. I recently put a crack in one of my hangers trhough, not a build quality problem, more of a crash control problem

So, no you shouldnt keep them, you should send them to me!

no they suck, i will give you 40 for them if they are the USA ones. lol, not really, my money is for something else.

jokerman808 · 05-10-2009, 07:59 PM

ok, thanks everybody. i just thought i read somewhere that gullwing sucks and i was just wondering what your opinion was

Aiyo · 05-10-2009, 08:28 PM

Oh my god dude. Chargers are the best gullwing trucks. They are good, they rock. They are comparable to paris and randals. If you enjoy riding them, it doesn't matter what others say about it. Just fvcking enjoy what you have. If you don't like them why don't you go buy something else.
