Longboarding question?

Hey, there are 3 trucks your going to want to check out. all of them are inverted meening they are angled anywhere from 30-45 degrees. the more angle u have, the easier it is to carve, but its also a little less stable at high speeds. The Randal 2's are good and alot of people have them and trust them. I have the Paris trucks which are basically the same truck except they come with a lifetime warranty. they're made differently and they just garuntee they'll never break. and now Sector 9 just came out with some new trucks called the "Gull Wing' they're nice too but I'm not sure if they come with hardware (the nuts and washers you need). I would suggest the Paris just because they're the only one of the 3 that comes with hardware, it just saves you some money and their pretty nice. I think a pair of them is 40-45 dollars.
 
Ya, i have the abec 11 gum balls. those are some legit wheels. they come in lots of flashy colors too. if you want to carve though, your going to want some softer wheels. so look into the grippins. so sick
 
mm bones reds are good bearings too if your lookin for some of those. fuckin amazing and cheap, only like $10 i think.
 
Randles are good, but they dont even come with hardwear. although I think they just did a revision on em recently, or their about to do one. but deffinately get some 180s, no matter what truck you get. and any Bonez bearing is good. the "swiss bones" are pricey, but so worth it. I have the redz right now on my board, can roll for hours
 
that was kind of dumb, as abec 11 has wheels for many different genres of riding

but back to topic, throw some gumballs, randalls, and reds on and you have a fairly inexpensive killer set up
 
i have swiss bones now from when i skated, my friend is building me a deck so i need trucks and stuff

i think im gonna get randal trucks, and probably abec 11 wheels
 
Gullwing are good trucks. Get the Mission 1's for sure though they are good for carving on any board- I have them on a 54' cross stepper and a a 34' board. they are not wobbley and if you like light brushing and ride you trucks loose they are the best, they make your deck feel like a slalom board if you push it. Also they are much better trucks for tech tricks like g-turns, shuvits and walking on them. Tech's are easier than on randall's in my experience since they are so smooth rather than agressive.
 
u spell it Randal, i would go with some bear grizzly 181 trucks and some 75a gumballs. doesn't really matter which bearings you put on it unless you are competitive racer but just go with some bones reds or sumthing.
