Finalluy a conclusive answer. Sometimes you get a "this is best, that is best" scenario where as this is giving you the information so you can create the answer for yourself. Thanks man!
Love the shop. Bought an Amazon board for cheap and will be building my own soon. Love the wide range of options for everything from decks to t shirts.
The 35in LandYachtz Switch Fox behind you was my favorite/most expensive board. I put thousands of miles on it - I got jumped and it was stolen… Best board I have ever ridden.
I have a Electric skateboard..The WOWGO 2s...The trucks that came with it are very stiff...i since put Paris V2 on it and the ride is night & day difference....thanks to video i got a good understanding of what to look for...
Bro! Props! Your understanding is amazing! Thank you for explaining to us what we desire! You are very knowledgeable and present ideas that open our mind about skate boards. ❤🙏
This was such a great tutorial on choosing trucks and bushings especially for a noob like me, thank you! So, I just started longboarding about 3 months ago. I'm pretty much a mellow rider looking to cruise, mellow freeride and low style carving. I'm set up on an 2015 Arbor Rally board. I have the stock setup for the trucks which is Caliber 50 9.0" trucks and bushings are ultra-high rebound 89a Blood Orange barrel & cone combo. I have swapped out the wheels to the Sucrose Initiative Bogarts (61mm / CP 36mm / OS 2.5mm / 82a) which for me are so much better than the Sucrose Mosh wheels and I've also swapped the bearings to Bones Redz. (Stock bearings were Abec 5's). I've really been able to pick up speed and get some decent carving and freeriding, but I feel really limited on maneuverability still. (here's a link to the board with the description of the stock setup: arborcollective.com/skateboards/products/rally/) I am a pretty small chick (5 ft tall and weigh about 115) so I'm wondering if a different truck or bushing setup might help me get some better response on the board? In reality, it could just totally be me and my technique. After watching the video though, I thought about flipping the hanger around and just sort of seeing how that responds with my stature and such. But do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
***** Thank you so much for the tips! The 10-bag option definitely sounds like a great way to test out different options to find the one that works. And you might definitely be right about the hanger. In fact, shortly after I bought the board I took it to a skate shop because the trucks were squeaking and I had no idea if that was normal. The guy took the em off and sprayed WD-40 on it and I have't since touched it. Perhaps this whole time I just needed to loosen them a bit! Thanks for the tips!
***** Ross, I wanted to let you know I picked up some 83a Orangatang Nipples Bushings. Wow, you're so right...the difference is incredible. I just got them on and took them out for a quick run so I'll be playing around some more and I'm definitely going after that Venom 10-bag to play with the setup some more. Thanks again for your help!
thanks for the Information about Different Types Of Trucks...Now I know what to do with my ... Gullwing Reverse Truck Co. For my Longboard...Jacko Pro 2017...I Flipped The Back Truck For my Stable my Downhill and Freeride...
This was informative thank you. I have a board with double decker gull wing trucks and I was looking for a video that describes them well. And this video was simple straight to the point and had the exact information I was looking for. Thank you
Great video, I'm new to the skate world and this video was super helpful in understanding different trucks for different purposes. Thanks! Keep up the good work, I'm sure I'll be back for more.
This was a really great video. Thank you very much for explaining some of the different trucks and some basic customization. Like to know little bit more about bushing durometers but thank you!
Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets. Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up: Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX. Bushings: softs like cone style Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?! Thank you and good job to you all!!
Hey guys my dad just bought me some toe shoes so i figured why not just go full circle and get a long board anyways i was wondering what kind of pose to do on my board to look as rad as possible also i need to learn to push mongo asap
I could understand that the gull wing sidewinder 2's are less stable because the double king pin but I have yet to get speed wobble with them and in Wisconsin we have quit a bit of fast hills there's one by my house that me and my friend have clocked in over 37mph
Yes, I also ask what is that board at the bottom left looking at the video? And please explain how angled risers work with different setups and riding styles. Thanks.
my question is that I'm new to longboarding and i was wondering which one i should use for riding around the sidewalks with my friends and just cruising around
Okay, genuine question yeah... In your professional opinion - in relation to the above trucks what is low speed? like 5-15km/h or 20-30km/h? (6-9mph or 30-50mph)
Wow, very comprehensive - thanks Ross! Question. I've been building out my quiver and have been looking for an "all around skate everything" type of board. Certainly been doing a lot of research and I know what I'm looking for. I really like the arbor 44 genesis, but am leaning more towards this loaded overland board I cam across. I basically cruise and freeride most combined with a little downhill at lower speeds. I just moved to an area with much more hills and incline terrain. I definitely want a board with a double kick tail, but also want stability if I choose to hit more downhill at faster speeds (around 30mph). Can you suggest a truck/wheel combo that you think would fit this style of riding? Really appreciate it man! Cheers,
I've only had original trucks, so I have no idea what kind of bushings I should have for my new Gullwing sidewinder 2's. I weigh 92kg / 202 lbs. I don't do sliding or downhill, I only use it as a form of transportation. I live in the city so I need to be able to make really tight turns to dodge people while I cruise down the street but I want it to be steady as well for somewhat higher speed. Someone help me please!
I want to get the Landyachtz Hatchet and I was wondering what truck I should use? I will be using it mostly for cruising around town and some carving. Thanks!
Down hill beginners, two words: cast Rogue or cast Ronins + venom bushings + cupped washers/board side and flat washers/street side = great beginnings.
Thank you so much for this video! Could you recommend a board for about $100 for cruising. My daughter wants to use it for transportation at college. She would like to get up and down curbs and be able to navigate around people.
Hey I was just wondering what trucks you would reccomend for Less but still some sliding, riding hills (30-50 mph), freestyle, cruising, some, but little transportation, and flat sessions. Thank you i Dont know much about building longboards
Very helpful video! thanks :) I'm wondering, are there differences between trucks for regular top boards, and trucks for drop through? Or can one use the same trucks for either? The mounts surely look quite different...
You can use the same trucks for both. Mounting trucks onto a drop-through deck are a little more work but the same trucks will fit on them. Cheers! - Tim
As a complete noob to longboarding, I found this super helpful. Thanks for the video!
Good question
Like wise!
Yeah same here
Finalluy a conclusive answer. Sometimes you get a "this is best, that is best" scenario where as this is giving you the information so you can create the answer for yourself. Thanks man!

The 35in LandYachtz Switch Fox behind you was my favorite/most expensive board. I put thousands of miles on it - I got jumped and it was stolen… Best board I have ever ridden.
The most useful truck explanation on TH-cam.
Great video, give this guy a raise.

I have a Electric skateboard..The WOWGO 2s...The trucks that came with it are very stiff...i since put Paris V2 on it and the ride is night & day difference....thanks to video i got a good understanding of what to look for...
That's was such a detailed explanation. Thanks and God bless ☺️🙏🏼❤️
very good explanation of trucks
Wish i had learned about this prior to buying a full longboard. This explains my many bloopers when riding
Thanks Ross,
Great summary of longboard truck's characteristics. Much appreciated!
Bro! Props! Your understanding is amazing! Thank you for explaining to us what we desire! You are very knowledgeable and present ideas that open our mind about skate boards. ❤🙏
Got Bear Gen 6 trucks. They are freaking amazing! They seriously improved their product!
Amazing presentation skills, lol Great job!
Best explanation on the subject thanks 👍
awesome video. Loads of information, no bullshit
I'm seriously stoked to learn all this. I have to sell about 80 boards, so this is very helpful.

Laura Sheldon I just took the board out on an initial test with the trucks reversed. MAJOR difference in responsiveness!

For a 120lb -ish rider, what sort of bushings/trucks should I go for??
Hey there great video my question is I'm new to longboarding and what would you recommend 4 just cruising in parks in boardwalks.
Landyachtz dinghy is good and arbor Pilsner. Sector 9 is also good

Hey guys my dad just bought me some toe shoes so i figured why not just go full circle and get a long board anyways i was wondering what kind of pose to do on my board to look as rad as possible also i need to learn to push mongo asap
what is by far the best trucks for mainly downhill but a lot of cruzing too
Great video very informative 😎🤘
Really helpful. Thank you.
I could understand that the gull wing sidewinder 2's are less stable because the double king pin but I have yet to get speed wobble with them and in Wisconsin we have quit a bit of fast hills there's one by my house that me and my friend have clocked in over 37mph

like 5-15km/h or 20-30km/h? (6-9mph or 30-50mph)
Answered my question 👌
I know stuff now, thanks
Just a general question, when buying trucks, do they come with screws?
So what trucks would you recommend for crusing and carving on a longboard.
Proper vid dude👊😉
great job! thanks
Wow, very comprehensive - thanks Ross! Question. I've been building out my quiver and have been looking for an "all around skate everything" type of board.

I've only had original trucks, so I have no idea what kind of bushings I should have for my new Gullwing sidewinder 2's. I weigh 92kg / 202 lbs.
I don't do sliding or downhill, I only use it as a form of transportation.
I live in the city so I need to be able to make really tight turns to dodge people while I cruise down the street but I want it to be steady as well for somewhat higher speed.
Someone help me please!
MerColaPucko I ride the old apex 37 from original sb if that's relevant.
***** I just ordered them so I'll have to wait for about two- three weeks until I get them. Thanks for the quick response!
I want to get the Landyachtz Hatchet and I was wondering what truck I should use? I will be using it mostly for cruising around town and some carving. Thanks!
What are the orange trucks in this video you are using for examples? And where can I get them?
What would happen if you take a down hill board with the truck base is at an angle what woyld happen if you reverse the truck
what exact one is the best one for city cruzing and ease steering?
Down hill beginners, two words: cast Rogue or cast Ronins + venom bushings + cupped washers/board side and flat washers/street side = great beginnings.
Genius
I have sidewinder trucks and I was wondering, if I remove the middle piece would I have a decent down hill truck?
I just got an Arbor Shakedown what trucks do you think would be good for carving and cruising?
What a G
What if u have a Pintail Longboard? What should the trucks be?
Thank you so much for this video! Could you recommend a board for about $100 for cruising. My daughter wants to use it for transportation at college. She would like to get up and down curbs and be able to navigate around people.
What is the deck on the top right with the octopus on it? And the one below that one
What's the name of the deck on the right with the blue monster on the red Sky?😊
Hey I was just wondering what trucks you would reccomend for Less but still some sliding, riding hills (30-50 mph), freestyle, cruising, some, but little transportation, and flat sessions. Thank you i Dont know much about building longboards

Would the sidewinders be okay for bombing hills?
Wish I had all the longboards at the back
I am getting hijack downhill division long board would 180 mm Ronin trucks fit the board if the width was 10 inches
Can a Randal R-III 180mm at 50 degrees fit through the opening of the Arbor Axis in Walnut?
