these are the turniest trucks ive ever ridden, personally i think the 8 would be a little better all around than the 6 but i go around campus all the time and have to avoid people everywhere, the trucks do the trick. they get shaky at high speeds so i generally dont use them for down hill when i can avoid it. you will have to get used to all the board lean youll get, but once you figure it out youll be able to do a u turn on a sidewalk at speed.

great board for cruising and carving with this setup, would be great for higher speeds and downhill with a more stable truck setup. the board is about 2 years old and there is definitely visible wear on the board like fraying fiber glass, etc. but nothing i am worried about, it is still very solid
