These are DH trucks...But with a different set-up are wonderful carvers...You really feel the turn...Sabres & a soft wheel and its miles of smiles, medium to big S's all day long...The look and feel of these trucks are some of the best I've come across so far...Give them a whirl...Not just for Downhill any longer...

I was really thinking I was about to receive a truly great deck...And I was right...The hype isnt hype...This board delivers in spades...! Roggs was offering a number of boards at a discount, getting rid of inventory that had been 'laying around...' I would have gladly paid full price...Jr. Dancer...Youre next...
