These trucks are very versatile. The 195 hanger with the 50 degree plates are a great combo. The wide hanger keeps them stable, while the 50 degree baseplate lets you turn very well when you want to. I weight about 180 lbs. and run mine with a Venom 90a barrel boardside, and an 85a barrel roadside and i have taken it up to about 40-45 and no wobbles at all. If this affects you, this truck rides a bit higher than a Randal or a Bear 852. Overall, very solid truck, well worth the money. (Posted on 10/1/11)

I ride these truck really loose and they are still really stable but turn nicely when you want them to (Posted on 4/21/11)

I love the hangars for boards around 10" wide a wider.
I run them on randal 50* plates for DH because I feel like paris BPs don't have a very good pivot. But thats just me, I like the way they feel on randal plates.
I was running them on 42* and it was great for high speeds. But I put the 50* plates on and I can still hit ~45mph with little problem. and they are nice and responsive.

I like the width, I wouldn't run any wider of a hangar.
and mine aren't all bent to hell and I am 240 pounds and I have had them for about 8 months now.

I also have a set on my d-seed for freeride, and they feel great. (Posted on 3/30/11)

after about 2 months of abuse, i think these trucks are the most versatile trucks out there. i'm dissapointed that the pivots are all worn down and that results in a lot of play in the hanger, but i'm going to replace the stock pivots with large soft khiros. the hanger itself is massive and feels like raw metal bars in my hands. they react slower than a 180 paris but its intentional. with venom 87a barrel and 90a cone on top in both trucks, i get that crucial balance of smooth, stable turn and pumpable agility. try riding them, the stock bushings get better after a bit of wearing in. the thing i like most is that i can thrash them and know that they will survive anything i put them through.

the trucks are amazing but i recomend puting in like a 85a shr vemon conical bushing. thats the only reason i gave performance a 4. awsome trucks just need a little something more to turn into. (Posted on 6/6/10)

I would recomend replaceing the stock bushings though (Posted on 6/3/10)
