I immediately swapped out the rear kingpin for an inverted one, but only because I am neurotic like that...In the park, give the front trucks kingpin a turn tighter for a little more control in the bowls, loosen it back up for the streets...These have been the biggest leap/mindblower that I have found in skating since I found my BE40...together I am amazed and can really say that I am truely content with one board and truck for park and street...bliss.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 2 weeks
What Setup are you running them on?: Gravity Brad Edwards 40", with their traditional truck in the rear...bones Swiss Labyrinth bearings, and Bones SPF 62mm in the park or Gravity 66mm 74a in the street...on 1/2 risers to save from wheelbite.
Typical Discepline?: Crusing my streets and skating Arlington VA Skatepark with them
How much did you pay for them?: 25 per truck
Where did you buy them?: EastCoast Board CO
What are their weaknesses?: due to their killer design, they are super turny...I would never try to speed board with them, and riding switch is a little squirely still for me.
What are their strengths?: I can pump in the flats for a mile without putting a foot down, in the bowl I can really get that surf feel, pumping/pivoting off the back truck...and obtain better and smoother lines in the park due to them...These allow the back to be stable and the front to pivot extreme in any way you please!Oh, and unlike some other trucks, they are US made!! So less human rights and enviromental concerns vs those made in China.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: In my quiver I have Tracker 150's, Randal 150's and 180's, Holeys, Indy stage 8 169's, and Exkates...these kill em all(minus the randals for downhill)
Would you recommend them?: Yes
