paris 195 or any randel

Randals have the advantage of variety and flexibility. They come with three different baseplate angles, and can be flipped to change the ride height. You can use all that to get a more stable ride than Paris.

or combine them to make prandels?  I've got paris trucks, and am getting randal 42* baseplates

although paris also has variable baseplates

randal ftw!

the bushing seat is faaar more snug than the paris, and it has a much more even turn, the paris bushing seat makes it really divey.

personal preference tho.

I wasn't aware of that. Where can you buy these baseplates?

gunmetal double barrals (42 degrees) are one of the dopest cast DH trucks straight out of the box. Out of those two randals are where its at

exactly, personal preference. for instance Bowditch loves his Paris 180's for downhill. now after owning kahas for a month he wants to go back to his Paris.

i personally hate restrictive trucks too. jank is dank.
