Longboard Trucks

Longboard Trucks are made of metal that connect the longboard wheels to it's deck. There are many types or styles of a longboard trucks, if the trucks are wider, it also means that the longboard can turn much better. The Rider's motion of body and feet turn the board rotating a joint in the center a piece of the truck. Generally there are two sorts of longboard trucks use on longboards. It's the conventional skateboard trucks (vertical kingpin) and the reverse kingpin trucks. 

Prevalent tried and true skateboard trucks incorporate Independent and Tracker. Mainstream reverse kingpin trucks incorporate Randal and Paris. Reverse kingpin trucks were made in light of longboarding. While they are normally considered to have more grasp and soundness (two paramount things in the downhill train), accepted trucks have an altogether different feel that is regularly favored by numerous longboarders

Turning characteristics of a longboard trucks can be greatly influence by the hanger width. If the hanger is wider then it is thought to be much stable or turn less quickly. This is because when the board generally has less leverage over the hanger, the longboard wheels have a longer distance to travel to get to a position, and due to bushing compression more board lean is affected or lost.

The angle of the base plate can also affect the turning stability of a longboard truck. Generally, the level becomes smaller, the truck will be more stable, but at least once (in turn becomes substantially more vertically oriented rather than horizontally oriented). For example, trucks with base plates 44 degrees are generally more stable (less) turn trucks with base plates 50 degrees.

A good sample of longboard trucks is this Gullwing Sidewinder II Truck, because for over 35 years, Gullwing produced the best vehicles on the market and they still have no intention of stopping. You can always count on Gullwing be innovative, progressive, and offer the best trucks on the market.
