scrub skates? lightest trucks around AFAIK yet not extremely strong

 

kheo skates? 12mm axles make them strong yet quite light.

 

scrub alu channels? cheap yet quite strong. more adjustable than skates. heavier though

[kiter_ryan]

£40 per truck? + a tenner dude.. and grab yourselves some matrix lites, sweet as trucks

[kiter_ryan]

or revos:)

[Angoose]

don't go for the scrub channels as they ah ridiculously heavy

 

i have scrub skates and they take sh/t load of heavy landings and havn't bent.

 

ps i've been jumping for about a yr now and they havn't changed shape

hmm the thing is i want some chunky looking trucks not skates.. But i dont want it to be too heavy and expensive

Decided im getting skate trucks as they light and cheap! Thanks guys!

I'd recomend skate trucks too, but if you change your mind and don't want skate trucks then the Scrub channel trucks are pretty good, they are bomb proof, good value for money and can be set up really nicely with the right combination of eggs and springs. For kiting there just about as good as Matrix trucks, as kiters don't tend to use the on the fly adjustment that much.

 

Hope that helps.

It sounds like the best thing for you would be the Scrub channel trucks, they are bomb proof, good value for money and can be set up really nicely with the right combination of eggs and springs.

Thanks for this but i decided what im doing.

 

Thanks anyway for helping!

So what exactly is the point on posting a thread asking for opinions, then contradicting yourself competely and ignoring them?
