| I was wondering if anyone has tried these new M1 trucks from gullwing? I recently saw an ad that claimed that these trucks were lighter than tracker sixtracks, and Grindking Jay Adams trucks. Is this BS? I mainly ride my longboards in parks, ramps, and backyard pools. |

They have really good kingpin clearance for the pic I've seen, but I haven't actually seen the truck itself. But Gullwing's website sucks, they really need to update it and put some of their new trucks on their (like the M1, Alpine, and Sidewinder 2).
Here's a pic of the Sidewinder 2:

| Sure! Well, maybe which ones are the lightest? |

| The Holey's are turny as hell, BTW. Box-stock, they blow away my heavily-tuned Randals. |

$63.95/pair. Cost me a small fortune to import them from the UK, but I saw some for sale over in the UK that were about $75/pair. |

Crails are $58.85, and they're imported from Brazil (via Canada).
Randals can be had for $40/pair, but you need to upgrade the kingpins, bushings, and cup washers. Then there are the QC issues with the castings.
Box-stock, there is nothing that touches the Holeys. |
