Michael Stefaun's new Pro Deck from Pool Kings is bringing the bling!  Look at that thing!  Click it to visit the site.

 

Active Image

 

Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well.

These are great trucks for every beginner, and still one of the best for any carver, pumper, or cruiser out there. Not recommended for strict downhill purpose.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 4 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Vanguard (flex 3), 66mm Lemon Zigzags, Bones Reds Bearings
Typical Discepline?: Carving, cruising, and occasional downhill
How much did you pay for them?: came with complete
Where did you buy them?: www.daddiesboardshop.com
What are their weaknesses?: They aren't too stable over 35mph, but that has never been a problem for me since I only do mild downhill bombing. I had to flip the bushing cup because the bushing kept popping out from underneath them but that was a quick and easy fix.
What are their strengths?: Great for carving and cruising around. Look great even though they get easily banged up, but that has never affected their performance. They are very easy to maintain and tweak. Great trucks for almost any set up!

Would you recommend them?: Yes

So these trucks have been used on many boards to see what had the best feel. I think they feel best on a deck with concave but any deck will do, really. (concave helps give it that extra bit of lean).I took this down a gentle hill, maybe a 30mph run where I could feel potential for wobbles to kick in, so that's when carving came in. I found it easily carve-able on a standard sidewalk and control my speed.

I'm primarily using these for pumping and they do wonders. New into the pumping world, I've learned quite a bit off of these trucks and on my current setup, pumping couldn't be any easier...well, it could if I gripped the board.

Overall, really great trucks, I have not really tried them on a downhill setup as I'm mainly into the cruising/carving/pumping thing and am all for the surfy-feel boards. I'd recommend them for your mini's and mid-size boards!
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: A couple weeks now, my favorite trucks to use!
What Setup are you running them on?: A variety of setups have been used, and each had their own personality. For a while, it was set up on my -Flexdex C29 with Krypto 65mm wheels and 1/2 inch Khiro risers, had a pumpy feel while being somewhat stable. -Now, currently set up on a 35 or so inch plank I cut out, also using the risers, has a surfy/pumpy feel. Not stable but it's fine for my style.
Typical Discepline?: Cruise/Carve/Pump/Old School
How much did you pay for them?: $42
Where did you buy them?: Ebay, TGM, sent me 180s the first time of recieving...
What are their weaknesses?: Squeaked after a day's use, nothing a Crayola can't fix!

Cup washers were a bit rough on the edges, could cut into bushings after a while.

Did not work out well on my 22 inch with my shoulder-width stance without tipping over

Not for DH, atleast on my setups.

What are their strengths?: -Solid truck, made in USA
-A flip of the hanger gives it a new personality, as well as trying it on different decks
-Love the new springy bushings
-Now quiet after using a crayon on pivot

What similar equipment have you ridden?: Maybe some Gullwings on a Pocket Rocket & Bogart, Randal 180's (different feel for different riding style)
Would you recommend them?: Yes
