Hey all you guys interested in Up Trucks, the new revolutionary urethane truck, there's a new batch getting out of the factory, with a new anti-wheel-bite device!
Check the 181mm longboard model...

Yeah, it's a chunk of 'thane between hanger and base.
I've always wanted to try Up Trucks to see how they ride but I've never had enough spare money to justify my curiosity. |

I don't want to dis it with out knowing anything about it
But it doesn't look like it would be stable at high speed
I bet it carves nice
experimental trucks are cool |

| i've heard that they're more stable then conventional trucks such as indys, because it's all one piece. |

I dunno, I'm not an engineer....
the only person i know riding them is a freestyler, who has the super-hard ones that don't turn.
Personally, i'd rather have myself some holey trucks or some randalls then urethane trucks... |
