Great trucks. Excellent price. From now on, there is no other truck under $50 that I will buy.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 4 months
What Setup are you running them on?: A 60" cruiser w/ Seismic Blast Waves 79a and Garver Ceramics
Typical Discepline?: carving and cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: longboardskater.com
What are their weaknesses?: The only weakness I can think of is that their yellow stock bushings are not great quality. I see that Randal has updated their bushings to the translucent red ones, which are supposed to be much better, so...problem solved.
What are their strengths?: Great carving trucks, very stable, make quick turns and very fun to ride.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Gullwing Chargers and Bear Grizzly 852's
Would you recommend them?: Yes

If you like to carve, or need a source of transportation that doesn't cost a fortune to run on gas, buy this board. It will literally pay for itself overtime if you commute to places with it.
