I hadn't ridden my Originals in about two weeks.
I decided i wanted to lay down some figure 8s in one lane of my road, today.
I about broke my knees off backwards, I forgot how light and turny they are.

I love these trucks. Takes a little time to get used to, but sooo rad once you do

These trucks are cool! I have Grippins on them and they still slip pretty good so be aware that they will make any wheel slip like mad. I am prety stable going fast because they have such crazy rebound.

my favorite so far, Friday, 02 February 2007

I got these for a homemade 50" board and they turn it like a dream. They carve really well. My only complaint is that they have a constant pressure from straight to full turn. It takes a while to get used to turning them the right amount. I have the same experience as rustyburrito above too. I have 68mm avalons mounted on the trucks and they still slip out if i push into the turn hard.

You will look at these trucks and think that they are wide as can be. You will ride these trucks and think that they turn like they are less than half that wide. I love them!
