Other planet trucks

trolling the net you find some crazy shit...

http://www.vimeo.com/7333031

supposedly built from the ground up, these trucks are possibly the only original design since randal started making trucks.
in my opinion, they look pretty dodgey, but if any one has had a ride on them or just has an opinion, i wanna hear... enjoy :D

i have seen these on silverfish abit, it seems to be a cool idea, but i have a few issues with how tough these will be, defs a cool idea though

its just an idea. obviously he can't spent a shit load of money on the design before testing prototypes like that one.
...unless of course they aren't actually prototypes and the ones available to the public.

loooks really cooool if u ask me. but ive never done downhill so im not too reliable. one thing if it is that easy for him to just tilt the truck wouldnt you turn to fast and flip out or something?

i think the centeral idea that these will go back to center unlike other trucks so if they want to go straight your not going to get wobbles because your trucks wont want to turn for no reason

I don't know what truck ur riding but all my trucks go back to center....

take the bushings out and let them sit they will go to a turn, the essential idea is that these will always go back to center with nothing forceing them, trucks go back to center because the bushings are forcing them to go back to center not because of their center of gravity

All sounds good but no one's gonna bomb a hill without bushings

they look good...i think once they started bringing out the final models it might sell. people have been saying good things about them even k-rimes! (kind of)

yes but because your trucks dont want to be in the center with out the bushings they are always going to be more stable in a turn thats why you wobble, your trucks go into a slight turn because thats where they are 'stable' and their center of gravity is, the bushings spring them back to the center and because the motion is going that way they go to the other side of their center of gravity and this repeats thus wobbling, if your trucks want to sit in the center then they are not going to do that
