Gullwing Sidewinder II Longboard/Skateboard Trucks Set of 2

The double kingpin design is unco parable to any other truck its all layer out for you its like having the turning radius of two trucks stacked up I haven't got to test them on the road yet BC its freezing here in Pennsylvania but the quality of the trucks is top knotch theres no burs from left over metal on the casting seams so you don't have to grind anything down to get optimal performance the bushings it comes with are about medium hardness so it you want to tighten them up to get a stiffer ride its an option, sure it adds more weight BC its more metal but i think its worth everything this truck offers, another thing people don't usuaually tell you and I haven't seen in any reviews is the double kingpin brings the hanger and wheels foward more than a regular truck so on certain drop threw deck's if you have say 75mm wheels you can hold the board straight up and the deck wont touch the ground BC of the offset which gives it a more gnarly (cool) look and feel, also on the bottom of the mounting plate its flat with a grid design and the snake logo embossed into it so it looks cleaner and more welcoming to put your foot on when its mounted on a drop threw which I found really cool. One more thing I would add is the double set of bushings acts like suspension but again this is all from just mouting them on a double drop deck to see the feel and it gives my board a very jelloy feel almost like its floating also very springy and responsive but the board I have has tons of flex and bows a lot &very smotthly,I would recommend these trucks to anyone who would want to spend the extra bones to get what I think is the best CRUISING TRUCK (I say it like that BC you DO NOT want to bomb a hill with these.. If you know what Speed wobbles you know what I mean) on the market right now BC of the crazy out there design of the double kingpin but I haven't go to shred the gnarr with them yet but I when it gets warmer and I get the chance I will update this review,If you have any questions doesnt matter how dumb you may think it is feel free to comment below I will get it in my email and reply as soon as I see it.

Dig it stay tuned!

I used to own a skateboard shop over a decade ago. I sold longboards, but I never took longboarding seriously. Yeah, the gravity junkies were fun to watch, and it's fun and an okay way to get around if you don't have to go into areas with many pedestrians. But these trucks are amazing. It's one of those, "why didn't someone think of this sooner" products. I have a Santa Cruz longboard. It's large (10"x32"), but still shaped like an old school deck. It was fun, but not always the most practical. These trucks have made this my go to board. I can ride this board anywhere, and it's actually MORE maneuverable than my regular skateboard. ​One thing I learned is that if you have a more traditional shaped deck (where the wheels are under the deck), stick with the 9" trucks. The 10" trucks will give you wheel bite, no matter how hard you crank down on the trucks. I run 62mm wheels and 9-inch trucks and it's great. My kids have the longboards where their wheels stick out the sides, and I have the 10-inch trucks for their boards and 72mm wheels.

Put these on a Never Summer Clutch. I love them and paired with the flexibility of the board they are so fun to ride. When I carve my feet sit down into the board. Honestly it's so fun that I catch myself carving down the empty hospital halls at night. Bad!I am a 120# female and most boards tend to not be as responsive as this board due to my weight. This set up is fantastic, responsive and buttery smooth. My brother enjoys it too and he is 170# so it's not just for light weights.The only problem I've had with speed wobble is my lack of experience and not being relaxed enough. The trucks amplify any bad skating habits I have due to their responsiveness.Currently this is my favorite set up! Love my time on the board.

PROS:smooth rideTurns on a dimeWell builtLooks goodGood constructionStableGreat adjustabilityALL PROVIDED YOU HAVE A DECK SUITABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS.CONS:-Increases wheelbase by around 4 inches (not too serious concidering the puny turn radius)-HIGHLY reccomend freestyle deck, pintails and the such will have wheelbite before even half of the turn.-(coincides with afore mentioned comment) mounted below the deck there is major clearance and a long distance to kick, so get a drop through or Maybe a drop deck with risers (if its tol low, the board with scrape.) Enough Risers to clear the wheels on a pintail you would be riding around 6" off the ground.***-all of these are minor issues and easily compensated for.Bout these a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, it was well worth it. Went from not being able to turn a sidewalk, to a 180 in a parking slot. Its very stable at full-speed/flat ground and minor hills, i havent attemped a major hill yet. I probably wouldnt reccomend it. Be wary of gravel and water when turning sharp. Ive nailed the ground numerous times after going through a small puddle or gravel. Even with soft wheels. All in all these are great trucks. I highly reccomend them. I built a budget board, bones red bearings (great for the price), ztuntz deck, generic 78a 76mm wheels, and these trucks, $120 for everything, i cant complain. Also, torque the kingpin nuts on both kingpins down quite a bit. Out of box its rediculously touchy. Id turn when i kick. Tightened down, it provides stabilty at speed, and responds quickly and accurately when engaging in a light or sharp turn.If you actually read all that, i thank you. You are doing your research. Well done.
