Are you the brains behind this truck? well if you are then major props to you for coming out with something so innovative, I'd definitely give this truck a go when they come out.

LOL, Yes, Certainly.

Real world trumps all!

i'm merely speaking from personal experience, i know that my 42degree randals which lean more slide alot easier than my 50degree. while i dont fully understand all the forces that act on a board and truck, it seems intuitive that if your board is leaning more, and if lets say you apply a force down perpendicular to the deck, then there is more force pushing it horizontally sideways, hence making it slide out. Again, this is all just my intuition and through personal experience, and as much as i love physics, when it comes to skateboarding i trust my experience more than what a free body diagram will tell me.

I don't understand how more lean would make the board drift more...

Please explain.

i foresee problems turning at high speeds because of the lean, it would make any setup really drifty.

the more i look at these the more they scream, side walk bombing, slashing round drive ways and jumping off shit (dont think they would like drops though, can see the cam snapping) cos the amount of lean your getting would defs make checkslides alot easier, imagine these on a dervish or a drop speed etc etc, they would be great for freeriding, damn it might actually get me to start doing more
