HOW TO CHOOSE TRUCKS FOR FREESTYLE ?

Okay, it is not that hard to find trucks for freestyle. However, there are a few things to know:

- In freestyle, we use offset wheels, that means wheels cover the axle, so you have to get one size below your deck size. To make it simple, trucks + wheels = board size (More or less)

- You can choose your truck height depending on the type of tricks you like: If you do lots of truck tricks, choose a taller truck (Paris / Polster / Gullwing). If you like technical shuvits and footwork, choose a smaller truck (Film / Tensor). You can find an in-between with Independent and Tracker trucks.

Here are some examples of "which truck fit which board size?":

7,2"-7,4": Film 4,25", Indy 109, Paris 109, SureGrip Invader 700, Tracker 106, Tremendous 4,25, Polster 4,25"...

7,5"-7,75": Ace 11, Tremendous 4,5", Core 4,5"...

7,75"-7,9": Tremendous 4,75", Tensor 4,75"...

8"-8,125": Film 5,0", Paris 129", Polster 5", Slant 5"...

IMPORTANT POINT: In freestyle, you want to have tighter trucks for a lot of tricks like coco wheelies, one wheel manuals ect... Consider changing your bushings for harder durometer bushings (94-100A)
