I had to have a look to find out, and the stock Bennett KP angle is 10* which means that the total is 25*. That may seem strange compared with the 42* or 50* of most reverse KP trucks, but rev. KP trucks have a totally different turning geometry to "old school" trucks like Bennetts, Indys etc. which makes it a bit hard to compare angles without some sort of conversion, I guess. Seismic trucks are usually 30* or 45*, mine is the 30*(stable turn) which with the 7* de-wedge makes 23*. But I guess that seismic trucks have a different geometry again, closer to the rev. KP trucks than conventional trucks but different nether-the-less.

If he is going 15 degree in front ant 7 degree in the back what is the truck and angle?
i did not catch if he said?

Thanks Jack, I think that they would be great though I have only seen them, not actually tried them myself. I def like the Avila's wide contact patch, so I think that these would be sweet as rear wheels.

nice vid

Cheers Ian, if you want a demo, click on my other vid in the link below. I pump this setup (except for the wheels- which are 73A Avilas) for 10 minutes.
