Force and Crail are both excellent trucks, but importing them jacks the price up. Quality, while good, can easily be improved (especially if you happen to have some of the aforementioned available for scrutiny). |

They grind better than Indys. No shit. And on over-vert too.
The flat nameplate spreads the resistance out over a larger area making it slide on steel coping easier that and rounded hanger that focuses the resistance and drag on a very small part of the truck. The grinding bed on a Bennett is also at a great angle for grinds. |

Ah, see: you've met one of the people I offered to hook you up with when you posted that nobody's "ever" grinded coping on a Bennett! Sweet! |

Never had any problem grinding on the flat hangers back in the day, like Bennetts and ACS. Round hangers never seemed to grind as well until they get worn in a bit:
That's probably flatter than a Bennett now... |

Sadly I haven't had trucks that look like this in many years.
We don't have alot of pool coping around here, and i don't skate curbs enough.
Thats so cool when they get like that. like a badge of honor.
Also for the record, I never ever skated bennetts and I honestly though they were too narrow to grind.
My bad. |

As long as you can get the coping between the wheels, it'll grind. Even the old Hijackers could grind. |

A solid chunk of aluminum with an axle?
I gave Freestyler some 28 year-old bushings that had petrified�he loved them. |
