Like others have said, these are really not very good, considering they are marketed as an aftermarket, performance bushing. I put a set of the yellow ones in my Randal 180's and they were all cracked in a matter of days. This shouldn't happen -- I may be a fat fuck but I just cruise and bomb the occasional hill. No hard jumps or anything that would cause this kind of wear. Also, as others note, for the same price or maybe a buck more per truck you can get the very good Bones Hardcore of the excellent Khiro's.

Definitely an example of where skating equipment is headed -- products aimed at the specific longboard market are made to a higher standard for those of us who tend to be older and with more disposable income/less tolerance for crappy quality.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: A few weeks
What Setup are you running them on?: S9 Carvin' Niner pintail, 78A Gumballs, Bones Swiss
Typical Discepline?: Cruising
How much did you pay for them?: 50
Where did you buy them?: Skatewerks, RIver Edge NJ
What are their weaknesses?: Twitchy with stock bushings. Paint on hangar scratches off if you look at it funny. Included mounting bolts are too short for many applications
What are their strengths?: SMOOOOOOOOOTH. Looks like a precision machined product rather than the tin pot appearance of name-brand trucks as recent as 5 years ago. Including mounting bolts, speed rings, and matching riser a nice touch, but the bolts could be longer to accommodate preferences for higher risers/thicker boards--but that's being picky.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal 180's, Gullwing Alpines
Would you recommend them?: Yes
