Carver Skateboards Review (C7, CX & C5 Comparison)

Рет қаралды 97,145

Күн бұрын

One of my first surfskates was by Carver Skateboards, so I wanted to share my thoughts on the differences between their trucks: C7, CX & C5.

Wheelbase Formula
1. Measure your inseam in inches or cm.
2. Divide the inseam length by 2.
3. Add an inch (2.5 cm) to the number found in step 2.
To find the lower limit of your wheelbase range: subtract a half-inch (~1.5 cm) from the number found in step 3. To find the upper limit of your wheelbase range: add a half-inch (~1.5 cm) from the number found in step 3.

After intense and deeply scientific research in the field of surfskating, when it comes to choosing a particular system/brand, I have come to the following conclusion: BUY 'EM ALL!!!

I love those older roundhouse wheels! They grip well but release easily in slides. I’ve done 3m length banked bertslides on them and they are not crumbling after a lot of use. Stay away from the ecothane ones though. Good comparison of the three trucks. One extra is that you can grind easily on C7 and C5, but the kingpin on the CX is too long and sticks out causing hangups.

Thank you for your review. I always wanted to see what the C5 looked like... As I commented in your Yow video, I own a Carver Triton with CX trucks. Love the fact that it is quite high from the road, and very smooth to ride. Also the nice thing is that you can adapt it fast by loosing the front truck depending if you're riding the streets of pumping on a pumptrack. Nice feeling of a multi use board! Keep on riding!🤙

Sick review! Always been in love with Carver and just recently snatched up a pair of 2.4s after waiting so long to get one. Nothing comes close to the minimalistic CX design and simple maintenance required compared to the other systems. Have been contemplating whether to get a C7 setup but after watching this review am gonna opt in for another 2.4 setup. Unfortunately no C5 trucks where I am.

I was a bit confused by something about being “overhyped” in the original title. I see it’s changed now, cool! This was a great review of all 3 truck systems tho! I’m a big fan of the C5’s but am finding most my riding in parks and bowls lol.

I see that you used the YOW Arica in your YOW review and that you used the deck in this review. Would you say that the Arica is good for someone who wants to do tricks in flat ground, but also wants to ride a bowl on the weekends?

@88paths32 2 жыл бұрын

imo arica is hands down one of Yow’s best boards, even for both applications. However..Yow trucks are very specific to yow decks only. The mounting bolts on yow meraki are weird. It’s not the traditional kind that you see in carver and slide trucks. It’s as thought they only want you to use yow decks with yow trucks

Hey man which carver do you recommend for surf training? Im 5’6 1/2, and what i see available online is only the yago skinny goat 30.75 16.75wb, ci fishbeard 29.5 15.5wb, rocket redux 30 16wb, firefly 30.25 16.25 wb. Someone recommended the rocket redux but i think its too wide at 10.5, not sure about the concave being too flat on the fishbeard, and is maybe the yago skinny goat wb too wide at 16.75 me being 5’6-5’7? Decisions.. hahahaja, would really appreciate the help!

Kind of depends on preference. But if you want the hardest learning curve, SwellTech is regarded as the most realistic. I enjoy YOW & Smoothstar the best though... they feel much better to pump compared to SwellTech/Carver

I have yet to try the revenge trucks, but I can imagine they're a lot stiffer compared to the slide trucks since there's no spring (right?). I think the slide trucks are actually pretty solid
