Agreed! 215's are the shit!

speaking of indys, just chuck some 215's on it. Youll know how they ride, it'll be nice and low for some slidey action, and I'm guessing you have some already...

i think ill go with paris or randal trucks.. they seem to be the most popular and thus have the most aftermarket support, buying randals seems to be the equiv of buying indy trucks for a double kick.. randals set the standard, right?

arent 180s and 215s a lot larger than std double kick trucks?

Yup, I think he was referring to the ones w the shorter hanger that you said you had.

hmm nevermind then, thought you may have had some wider standard kingpin trucks already, but yeah 215 are twice the width of a regular popsicle truck

just to throw another idea out there.... sabres?!?!?!?

mate trust me on this one, i've ridden paris, randal and bear trucks and bear trucks are totally amazing! randal are very very good for stability though but the carve factor isnt as great (can be adjusted with different bushings but im talking stock setup). bear 852 2010 model are amazing for carving and have enough stability, even when super loose to stay stable at slow to medium speeds (havent hit very fast on them yet)

agreed that. I really like everything about my bear 852 (I have Randals too). Although like you said, with a little tweaking it is also possible to make the Randals really turny and fun (soft Venom bushings cone + barrel).

i just got some bear 840s. they are the same hight as my old randal 180s, so i don't know how much higher they 852s are, but i would reconmend the Bear 840s they are super stable and are super easy to freeride with as well. :)
