alright im looking fo some new trucks for my loaded pintail,
ive been lookin at the Carver CX's, Original S6's, or just a new thruster board
ive got paris 150's right now, im looking fo the ones that will give me the surfiest feel
I wish I could just buy a Thruster front truck/swivel base. From the videos I've seen on these trucks, the Thruster looks probably by far the 'surfiest' of the trucks. A rear Indie-type truck, (or in thruster boards' case, a revenge) serves as a traction truck aka surfboard fins, where the front 'floppy' truck serves as the free-roaming nose of a surfboard.
I've never tried any of these 3 trucks, but I'm probably the most interested in trying out a Thruster. And I think a local skateshop (The Station in Fremont, ca) carries them.
Yeah the thrusters look like the most pumpy but id much rather just buy some new trucks for my pintail. so if anyone has ridden originals or carvers could you tell me how they feel.
ok i have originals and carver C7s and i have ridin a thruster board
and my opinion is that the thruster board and the carver C7s are very much alike and they will give u the most surfy feel.
the originals won't be as much fun on a board like fish than the carver or thruster
o and the carver truck works with a normal indie style truck in the back to
i highly recommend the C7s they feel as close to surfing as u can get without a surfboard
