| I really want to get into speedboarding more and am wondering what are the best speedboard trucks(with 10mm axles) and and what 10mm bearings are the best. Any help would be great! |

JimZ's
Grizzlies
Bears
In that order.
SGS has a new one in development that looks very promising but still a few months away as is the Bennett Viper. |

| As for 10mm bearings, all those you can currently buy appear to be made in the same factory. The SinSystems are the most well known and can be had in a dark-ball ceramic version, too. |

I think slob meant Jim Z's, Smokey's, Grizzlies. Grizzlies are a model of Bear Trucks. They now come in both 50 and 40 degree base plates (I now have the more stable 40's, but man did those 50's turn). Smokeys are Bear's higher end, CNC milled, precision axle racing model.

If you wanna spend big bucks, there are also a couple of Euros making high end racing trucks, namely Kahalani and Magun, though I'm not sure if they come in 10mm axles. |

| Yeah, Crails are a nice "Split the Difference" truck between say R2's and Randal DH's . More stability than the R2's but still plenty carveable. Good Trucks. |

Seen pictures, but I believe they where the intro models not the downhills. |
