sam: pretty good stable and iz pretty stable Brush: 180mm rules!!! binkus the great: they're great great man. i'm great. combine them with http://www.xtremewheelz.com .666 dt: These trucks have changed the way I skate forever. The kickflip loses some meaning when you can carve in style. Mandie: I own a 46" super cruiser and it cruises smooth0ly with the randal trucks. They are extremely stable and smooth for a fast ride. Riser pads aren't even needed with how tall they are. I purchased my randalls on the internet from daddies boardshop in portland. They have sweet deals for these awesome trucks. I paid 40 dollars for them. Speed Maniac: Well, I use them on my street-luge and on my speed board, no wobble on the luge but I did tighten them up LIKE HELL ! I do get wobble on my speed board when I follow the luges (over 70 km/h) but I can't turn if they are tighter. Not as good as everybody says but worth it anyway ! Dick: Don't get me wrong. I love my Randal trucks just like the rest of these reviewers. They can turn on a dime and carve like none other. But whoever said that with these trucks you don't get speed wobble just hasn't been going fast enough. Bombed a hill yesterday and got wicked speed wobble around 25-30mph then crashed and burned. Half the skin on my body is gone. I love these trucks but be careful, tighten those babies, and watch out for wicked speed wobble. dan: killer trucks. nuff said longboarder: get the 150s much better turning and has same stablity swooper: Let's say you want to do everything in one run down a long hill; make lots of small, quick turns, get in a tuck and burn across some flatter sections, slalom some road stripes, and swoop through lots of deep carves. The R-2's do it all so easily, they set you free! I've also got some mounted on a park/pool longboard (Lib Tech 44") and enjoy that, too. Daddies Board Shop in Portland has had a good price on these. Whatever, they'd be a deal at $100/pair! Ulf Bille: Buy them and be happy, but IŽll go for the 150 mm version next time I buy trucks as I use Kryptos that are not centered. The best there is!! Dino Skategeezer: I got into skating in 1974. Got back into longboarding recently after seeing Dogtown & Z-Boys. I've worked at skateshops in the 80's and I can honestly say that the design of Randal trucks is the BEST innovation in skating since urethane wheels (1973, Cadillac Wheels). Great job Randal!!! Bye bye speed wobbles!! John: Wow! These trucks are amazing, so great for carving and turning. Very fast too. I have them on my afroman pimp daddy with kryptonic wheels--overall great setup people John: These trucks are amazing!!! Execllent carving and provide a smooth, fast ride. These are handsdown the best longboard trucks ever Chris: Got the 150s.I ride them with the bushings loose to decrease the already tight turning radius.I have noticed a rattling sound coming from the kingpin & nut but only when on rough pavement. this is because they are very loose.Hey but don't sweat it the wind noise muffles the rattle. They turn tighter than expected and at higher speeds they don't wobble.What more could you want.Great trucks. alfred e nueman: 4 words:3 foot turning radius ggf: these trucks ae amazing. carve great and never break Tom: Carving gods, but you can just read everyone else's reviews. cainpole: AS SWEET AS IT GETS!!! 'nuff said Chris from Canada: Awesome trucks! I have RII 180's on a Soulcarver 60" Shallowtail and RII 150's on a SoulCarver 49" Pintail. They just crank! With Randals my 60" can out-turn my 46" Supercruiser! (It still has the Pivot trucks though...) I'd say these are probably the best trucks for anything and everything. Go buy Randals! (And while you're at it, check out www.soulcarver.com, awesome boards that come with Randals) Nick: Best trucks. i got them on a 44 fiberflex and the are great. no speed wobbles and they still turn on a dime. Landon: See what everyone else sais? It's all true. Beautiful trucks that can't be beat. Dylan: I also just put these on a Sector 9 Super Cruiser, and they are unreal...I don't think there's a better longboarding truck on the market Reyz: These trucks are the only trucks I will ever buy again. I slapped them on my sector 9 Supercruiser and let me just say that they are a perfect combo. I truly recommend these trucks. They carve like... just get 'em and you'll see. Luke: Great trucks, theses take any hill and stay sturdy, i have them on my flexdex and they work great, i am make insane turns that my other friends can't match. Cam: Randal RII's are the perfect longboard truck. They come a little bit costly than the regular brands as far as I've seen but there is nothing like them. They will juice up any board you own. I have some on a Soul Carver board. It just lights up the turns with these babies. I would recommend you pull off whatever came on your stock longboard and upgrade to the best longboard trucks around. Vote for Randal. Harvey: I got these trucks a while ago and I simply love them. I usually bomb hill at about 40-45 mph and the randls hold up nicely. I can even loosen them up and carve. I like them alot. Phil: Igot them for $30.00 US they are great longboard trucks once you ride these you'll never go back they also make great cheap luge trucks because they don't have the fancy spinning axle. zoomer: Randal trucks rock for longboarding. They are very stable at speed. I loosen them up until the washers rattle then snug them a hair. They are really responsive and stable even in the loose condition. Carving is a joy. They pump really well for cross country. I have both the 150 and the 180. There is not much difference in stability but the 150s turn much better. This truck has made me fall back in love with longboarding. Thank You Randal.

Joe: I used to be an avid Indy user until I aquired an Envy classic 57 built up with Randalls. Now all my longskate have Randalls these are the most stable best turning trucks period!
