About the 8mm's Bears - I have 78mm Seismic Blast Waves wheels on mine and the axles haven't bent yet.


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

They're pretty cool... but the Kahalanis rule!
I would hope so at $400. 8 times the cost of Trackers. I like my 8mm Bears with 71mm Alligators. The guy I work with is modding the Trackers with aluminum hangers. They will be tested at the race in Edmonton this weekend.

I think you mean aluminum axles. Crazy.

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.

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.
