Alright fellas and ladies, I got myself some soft and sweet kryptos (65mm 78 duro), and a nice longboard (8.5" X 40"), but the old trucks i am ridin arn't cuttin' it. Anyone have some suggestions on a killer truck to use on a setup like this? Thanks.

Bakus. Got em on my 47" Barfoot. Man do they turn smooth and tight.
I dig Randall's too, but for pure surf carve stoke try the Bakus if you can find em.

Howdy,
I've been riding my BDS Longboard with the new
Seismic metal trucks; WOW!!!
So far I am super impressed with the combination
of the BDS Longboard and the Seismics. I'm a-
mazed by how well the Seimics make the long-
board turn.
I've been running Webb trucks on all of my decks,
but for the longboard I wanted to try something
different. Very glad I did.
The Seismics are VERY smooth feeling and have
an excellent return to center.
I don't know how well the Sesimics would work
as a pool truck, but as a longboard/park truck
they ROCK!
Check 'em out.
Chris Olden

I freakin' LOVE my Randall 150's on my longboard.

But the seismics look pretty cool and I've heard nothing but good things about them. Haven't tried them yet, but I plan on it for my next cruiser....

All Randal Riders BEWARE the kingpin is not grade rated and will snap off at the threads.
mostly the wider 180 is affected I have broke 2 kingpins so far. repace them with fine thread 3" grade 8 invert the pin with threads out and nut on outer grommet. or risk Death or Dismemberment!!!!
