Thanks Ross, Great summary of longboard truck's characteristics. Much appreciated!

Thanks for making. Learned a lot. Lot of good info!

dude this really helped me out. Thx so much! I was very confused what kind of trucks I wanted until I saw this video.

Great articulate video. Thanks very much. It was very helpful.

This video was really helpful! I have a Landyachtz Switch fox too except it's a dropdown.

Love the shop. Bought an Amazon board for cheap and will be building my own soon. Love the wide range of options for everything from decks to t shirts.

This was informative thank you. I have a board with double decker gull wing trucks and I was looking for a video that describes them well. And this video was simple straight to the point and had the exact information I was looking for. Thank you

Take a shot every time he says generally

Proper vid dude👊😉

Thanks it was helpful

Hey, i like Your video, i would like ask you about the quicksilver longboard, are they good? I just bought one and I can’t tell

Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets. Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up: Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX. Bushings: softs like cone style Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?! Thank you and good job to you all!!

Answered my question 👌

I want to get the Landyachtz Hatchet and I was wondering what truck I should use? I will be using it mostly for cruising around town and some carving. Thanks!

Hey man. I’m looking to build a surf skate type board will the gull wing trucks work?

Hey, I’m trying to custom make my own longboard just for cruising around. I wouldn’t be going super fast so do you have any suggestions/personal favorites for what kind of trucks, wheels, and bearings I should get?

What are the orange trucks in this video you are using for examples? And where can I get them?

what exact one is the best one for city cruzing and ease steering?

I just got an Arbor Shakedown what trucks do you think would be good for carving and cruising?

I'm looking to buy gullwing sidewinders and put them on a drop through deck. Do I need to buy anything extra to do that? Thanks

hey,do you have any recommendations for what degree trucks that can cruise and do same light downhilling at the same time (thanks)

Hey I was just wondering what trucks you would reccomend for Less but still some sliding, riding hills (30-50 mph), freestyle, cruising, some, but little transportation, and flat sessions. Thank you i Dont know much about building longboards

Best video ever

I am hoping to use a future longboard for travel i have never had one before but i am hoping to get paris v3 180mm 50° trucks do you think they will be good for getting around from things like work or even just going on things like trails and things while traveling? Im also hoping to get orangutang caguama 85mm wheels to go together with this and bones super reds bearings because from what i have seen they are the best within a certain budget. The paris trucks and the orangutang wheels are what im most worried about as i am using these for commute and need something that can take me over rough concrete and pavement that is not one hundred percent even has some breakage or cracks and from what i have seen the wheels are great for that. Also the board they will be going on is a junli amazon board as i have seen alot of things say that the more expensive ones are actually worse in some cases and i do not have money to get an expensive board just to take it apart and add my own things. It would also cost more money just to get the deck as if the original things that come with the board are good enough i could stick with them for a while. Sorry that this is alot i am just really worried about not getting something that will be good with that im going for and i do not have the money to experiment 😅

So what trucks would you recommend for crusing and carving on a longboard.

Thank you so much for this video! Could you recommend a board for about $100 for cruising. My daughter wants to use it for transportation at college. She would like to get up and down curbs and be able to navigate around people.

This was such a great tutorial on choosing trucks and bushings especially for a noob like me, thank you! So, I just started longboarding about 3 months ago. I'm pretty much a mellow rider looking to cruise, mellow freeride and low style carving. I'm set up on an 2015 Arbor Rally board. I have the stock setup for the trucks which is Caliber 50 9.0" trucks and bushings are ultra-high rebound 89a Blood Orange barrel & cone combo. I have swapped out the wheels to the Sucrose Initiative Bogarts (61mm / CP 36mm / OS 2.5mm / 82a) which for me are so much better than the Sucrose Mosh wheels and I've also swapped the bearings to Bones Redz. (Stock bearings were Abec 5's). I've really been able to pick up speed and get some decent carving and freeriding, but I feel really limited on maneuverability still. (here's a link to the board with the description of the stock setup: arborcollective.com/skateboards/products/rally/) I am a pretty small chick (5 ft tall and weigh about 115) so I'm wondering if a different truck or bushing setup might help me get some better response on the board? In reality, it could just totally be me and my technique. After watching the video though, I thought about flipping the hanger around and just sort of seeing how that responds with my stature and such. But do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

this is awesome

I have sidewinder trucks and I was wondering, if I remove the middle piece would I have a decent down hill truck?

Im thinking about gettin a Landyachtz Dinghy, which comes with 105 mm trucks and 63mm wheels. If i want to get a more freeriding and sliding setup ( I know this board isn't the ideal for it), should I get a wider truck?? keeping the wheels this size and also having in mind the wheel bites. Thanks, from brazil!

what is by far the best trucks for mainly downhill but a lot of cruzing too

would you ever suggest normal kingpins for big hills? because i was looking at the Landyauchtz loco 37 and it has normal kingpin trucks. I love to slide and go pretty fast like 25 mph, but then i like to do tricks. so thats why i was looking at the loco

Yes, I also ask what is that board at the bottom left looking at the video? And please explain how angled risers work with different setups and riding styles. Thanks.

I'm looking to get a new cruiser deck and use my gullwing sidewinders on it. The trucks are the 10" but the deck I'm looking at is a 9.25 inch wide, 30" long. Would my trucks work with this deck or should I look for smaller trucks?

Hey man. I'm trying to get into downhill speed longboarding and I was wondering in your opinion how much money would I need to obtain at the least to get a good sturdy board

What is the deck on the top right with the octopus on it? And the one below that one

i need a truck that can steer good for in the city for the tied corners, but also one that lets me speed up a little for the long and more straight roads... which one do you recommend?

what is the highest degree baseplate angle thats recommended. I just bought a deck with 10 degree wedge on either end. What baseplate angle should I buy to get a carvy feel without having too high of a baseplate angle

Do you happen to know if the bushings in compound longboard trucks are soft or hard?

Are the “Compound 9.5 Reverse Matte Black Longboard Truck” good for downhill longboarding?

I could understand that the gull wing sidewinder 2's are less stable because the double king pin but I have yet to get speed wobble with them and in Wisconsin we have quit a bit of fast hills there's one by my house that me and my friend have clocked in over 37mph

Any brand recommendations

What should I use for drop through down hill?

is it okay to have a gulwing sidewinder on one end and a reverse kingpin on the other?

Whats a good brand truck for cruising, carving, and some downhill bombing?(nothing too fast or extreme) Im looking at Randall r3 but i would like to have more options. Thank you!

I have a 33in long and 9in wide Shut Gnarnad, what size trucks would you recommend??

I've been riding different baseplate angles, and bushing hardnesses and am having a difficult time finding a ride that feels good under my feet. I've ridden caliber 50's and find them to be the most fun however I ride faster everyday and feel like they aren;t stable enough to do certain maneuvers at speed like Crouch style sliding or diving into corners at high speeds. 44's calibers just aren't as fun and im not stoked on that. What do you recommend be my next step in finding my truck setup?
