A lot of things happened since this time last year and mountainboarding regrettably had to take a back seat. I missed a lot.
Anyway, Trampa sells these titanium skate trucks. They're pretty lightweight and they grabbed my attention for a board update.
They're going to be set up on a 35 short that's going to have it's edges trimmed for added coolness. The angle isn't ideal for skate trucks but I know it works.
I'm jumping and spinning on my board 80% of the time so something so light will make life a lot easier. Compared to springs and shocks I can get replacement bushings here, instead of shipping them across Europe.
I weigh 65kg/143lbs/10stones (cause Kgs are foreign in some places) so there's no way for me to bend them.
I already have my pair of indestructible matrix pros with fresh springs so getting new channels seems pointless. Unless I want a second board.
Problem is skate trucks feel squishy compared to spring trucks. Springs have this satisfying recoil when you land on them.
What do you think about skate trucks on a 35 short board for freestyle? Are they a good choice or should I stay on my old channels and buy a new hat or something instead?
Looking for truck setup advice
