i would go with the 50's if you really want alot of freeriding. they feel just like paris but so much more stable

calibers are the best cast trucks in the world. get them. either one will be sick its up to you to decide what angle

like what Chad said man they are some demon trucks
one thing though i found is that the bushings were a tiny bit hard for my liking for freeride, so just whack some softer bushings in there and they feel soooooo amazing

I have 44's with green saber barrels board side and purple road side. It is the most stable thing I have ever riden and has more lean than any other truck I own. I freeride the hell out of the at any speed and go fast. Perfect cast truck!

Just out of curiosity are these trucks the same as the gun metal trucks?

Nope, gun metals bend! apparently...

I've got a related question to the original post:
Do trucks with a lower angle have a greater chance of wheel bite, less chance, or equal chance as trucks of higher angle?
I'd like to get some calibers for my Landy Switchblade, and I know I'm likely to get bite on them, but i'd like to know which will give me less bite. I'd prefer 44 for added stability, plus i like a little more lean, but not if 44 will cause a considerable amount more bite than 50.

Serious? I read a silverfish thread where someone said that lower angle means less chance of bite, giving an example like this:
On a 0* truck, if you lean, the wheels dont move back at all, so you wont get bite.
On an 89* truck, imagining you can actually get it to lean, even the tiniest bit, the trucks would turn heaps and your wheels would bite.
I don't completely trust it, but it seems very logical....

All of this was done on 50 calibers

other way round, except the 'if you got it to lean' bit, and 0* not moving 'back' is true. for a board with cutouts this would be grand, but on a topmount it would be terrible. if that makes any sense.
calibers axle is set right towards the inside bolt holes, so they dont line up with many wheel wells, and can get bite on boards with cutouts. Mine get static bite on just about anything, but it never happens when your propperly rolling

after 3 months of riding calibers i have a few things to say .
1. the blood orange bushings are a bit dead.
2. they seem to squeak and crack quite alot, so i would reccomend flipping your kinpin. ( robbo told me this so trust me )
3. they are very similar to randals, but they feel more stable at high speed (IMO)
4. they are cheap ! GET THEM NOW
