I been skateboarding/longboarding for about 40 years. These trucks are nice because you can get a stable push standing on the front of the board without risking blowing your knee (unlike most surf skates). But mounted front and back, it is hard to generate much carving power and acceleration in your speed flow motions because its kind of like riding a floppy fish. I find that a major arc truck on the front and non-steering truck on the back creates a setup that can be pushed and bomb straight like a longboard and also speed flow like a surf skate only much faster and with less effort than the waterbourne adaptor and other surf skate trucks. After a year of experimenting, my best setup is a 36 inch Madrid blunt top mount pintail deck with a major arc in front and Gullwing sidewinder in back (leveled out with different size risers), Bones swiss ceramic bearings in 69mm Powell Peralta snakes. It can turn 180 in a driveway and still hit 25-30mph safely down a hill. Best ride in decades....
just the information I was looking for! Thanks for the information. I just wish they would get their business running more efficiently. I've been wanting to purchase one, only to be told to wait and wait. Currently the waiting time is sometime next year.
@@therealjones-o6x I still check from time to time. They have not been available at all for the last 12 months or so. I got fed up and ended up getting the Curf Board to compliment my Waterborne and Yow. Curf Board isn't the same but I just don't think they will ever get their business to run efficiently for one reason or another.
Great video, very interesting . Totally agree about the surf adapters, adding so much height has definitely kept me away from trying them. These on the other hand look amazing!
@@fabiandörig it’s an expression to say it’s an innovation that goes far beyond being a small evolution in how they have always made trucks. Think of Tesla being a quantum leap in car innovation :)
The 2 joints next to the wheels are not replaceable. They have not got back to me about how long they last or how to keep them from wearing out as fast. Do you know anything about this?
Eh for sure it is marketing speak but if you say low friction I think you have a large market that will not understand. When it comes to any process that reduces friction to the ground surface or in this case just gives off that feeling it seems like saying low gravity is acceptable.
Hi :) I'm thinking to preorder these but one question is holding me, maybe could you answer and help me to do my choice... Are they strong enough to resist a 200lbs guy trying to make some tricks like boneless ? Thanks a lot by advance !
Absolutely right. This is dangerous and should never be sold in the first place. There will be accidents and board or axle breakages with that poorly designed truck. That's just a question of time.
Things I like: Looks like these trucks can give you as much turn as TKP trucks would, but don't require the deck to yaw as much, meaning you can be closer to the ground without worrying about your deck scraping. Things I don't like: Preorders - when the maker of the product doesn't believe in their own product enough to risk their own money / take a loan. Shame. Their width - only 190mm means they will be quite narrow for electric boards. Their price - 110USD seems way too cheap for a new skateboard truck design. The material is cast aluminum, so these will definitely bend for heavier / more aggressive riders. Fine for analog skating, but not for esk8 :/ Things I'm wondering about: What bearings are they using for the moving components? Can they be replaced if they wear out, will they break under the aggressive loads / vibrations of skateboarding, etc.
Interesting idea but the design is absolutely geometrically wrong. Huge stress on all parts which is pretty dangerous (riders already broke their boards with it) plus no grip at all in turns, which is also damn dangerous. I wonder why you put those on the market knowing all those mechanical issues made this whole design just a piece of dangerous garbage. I understand the hype though but this is unsafe, and I'm pretty confident you knew it from the start. You know about Ackermann steering geometry right? Yet you let riders risk their lives with your faulty product... I consider this pretty criminal. Just sayin'.

@@therealjones-o6x I finally ordered one the other day!!! wooohooO! March 24th 2024!!!!
Who remembers in that one Braille vid with the vicious grip, and he said he will never become a long border. Look at him now
Lmao he longboarded in that video
I WANT SOME!!!!
Great video, very interesting .

These things are awesome I think everybody should give it a try
Seems really interesting bro ;)
These look like a quantum leap in trucks
What’s that? I googled it and didn’t find anything

@@GarethDix you have to talk slowly, Swiss are not that fast. lol
Can I put these on my Sector Nine carver?
The 2 joints next to the wheels are not replaceable. They have not got back to me about how long they last or how to keep them from wearing out as fast. Do you know anything about this?
When can I buy it?
Do they turn more than 50deg rkp trucks?
I'm talking to a guy selling these awesome trucks having trouble with purchasing, but I'm itching to get these trucks for my longboard
Where can I get them for my backfire g2 galaxy 2020
Correct me if im wrong, but couldnt a hub motor go on that? I cant see a belt working at all, but a hub could work, right?
Don’t think so. Well it’s possible but it would need to be built different. I think just chsnge the front truck thats easier
'low gravity trucks' wow technology really has advanced. Can't wait to try the zero gravity vertion.

Pretty sure he meant to say "low centre of gravity" as he was talking about how planted the board feels, and how low the ride is.
@@rbarnes9938 yes agreed, I was just joking about low gravity trucks.

How does Ackerman play a part? It seems you just set it up for parallel steering

so you can wiggle back and forth to make the skateboard go?
What you mentioned is called “pumping”.
skate therapy made a video about it

Do you already know if they fit drop through on the Black Carve Direct Drive front?
Drop through doesn’t work
Will you try the new Hunter Board?
Which brand?

When are you going to send it to 3rd parties for review? They look cool, but hard to get a fair review when it's from the one who made it haha
can this truck mount on a normal skateboard?
Yeah that works
kikflip?
