truck tightness
how tight do you have your trucks for - sliding, carving and bombing, and is there a tightness that does sorta all of them?

Yes! , yes there is. It is exactly 1.435 turns past where the nut is level with the bolt. Try it, you will know what i'm sayin

i recon if you ride your trucks loose and learn to keep stable when going fast your balance and board control should be better but thats just me

you got wobbles on a hustler?
i own one. mine hammers.
buy some new venom bushings from hopkin, cylinder.
just tighten it enough for some reflex, but not so your on a board that is stiff as.

I run my bear 1040's with venoms loose as all the time for downhill. But one time they were a lil too loose and i ended up wobbling they whole way round a corner, like hoola hoop olympics wobbles, nearly ate shit but it made me a better skater.
i dont think its all about tightness, bushing duro plays a huge part aswell. but u shouldn't have flop (or much flop) in your trucks but you shouldn't be able to see ur bushings bulging
hope it helps

if you have to run your trucks literally floppy loose then its time to get softer bushings.
if you have to crank em down then it's time to get harder bushings
i ride loose trucks and soft bushings, makes everything that much more fun

loose trucks save lives.
if u learn to ride loose you win, coz when u tighten them up for speed runs it feels even more solid than you need!
