Bear Grizzly's seem to be popular. Paris 180s look pretty nice. The Tracker DH truck looks interesting. Anybody ridden the Trackers? Also, Chaput is supposed to be coming out with a truck.

The consensus around Paris is that they're Acura to Randal's Honda. Same basic deal--50� reverse-kingpin trucks--just nicer casting and finishing. Running a Randal DH baseplate in back with the Paris 180 hangar will give you a nice race-ready setup.

The trackers haven't really been put through their paces by anyone. They're available at thelongboardstore.com; but aren't officially released 'till the 15th. As I said before; the massive bushings are the most appealing part of this truck.

I wouldn't hold your breath on the Chaput Trucks. They were supposed to be out several months ago.

I am wondering about getting some faster trucks. I skate old indys and I want something that wont fall apart on me at 35-40 mph. I also don't want to spend 250 or better or the bears (if I do not have to). What up with the cheap bears, crail, and seismic? They all make 30-40 degree trucks for cheap. any advice on other brands? I'm wondering If I can keep one cheek off the toilet and stick with 8mm axles and <65 mm wheels.



8mm axles yes, but if you want to hit at least 30mph then you might want to consider 70mm or larger.
