yeah, but how much do you weigh and how hard do you ride 'em? |

| Aluminum axles? That sounds like a solution that didn't need to be. Let us know how that works at Edmonton! |

They're for the Rouge Race. Paul Kent will be riding them—he endeavoring to be the lightest board and rider on the cross-country endurance course. He's bent on stealing the title from last year's winner Mike Sanders of Local 124.
Should be amazing this year. |

The only thing bent will be his axles.  |

I weigh about 230 lbs. - - ride them fairly hard, garages mostly. |

Fastracks are a seriously good truck.
The bigger bushings really work. They are stable at speed but you can carve if you want too. They are not a specialized downhill truck but a great compromise. Best entry level truck I've ridden this year. And if they are not turning enough, wedge/dewedge em. You'll have no problems with turn.
They are so much fun going fast and then carving into the hill. |

I agree.....so far.
Mine are on the garage board, with Oust wheels.
A great value in a mid level speed truck.
I still need to put more time in, on mine.
No breakage or problems, so far.  |
