Why are skateboard trucks important?
Trucks are your board’s axle. Your trucks will control the way you turn, ollie, grind, and are responsible for translating your movements into your skateboard’s movements. They are the middle-man between your deck and your wheels, and it is important to size them properly.
Are high or low trucks better?
High trucks are better for turning as the truck can pivot further as the different geometry allows more movement. Larger wheels can be fitted without wheel bite, 53mm to 58mm, as the axle now sits further away from the deck. You can ride looser trucks as the wheels will have more room to move before hitting the deck.
Should I get high or low trucks?
High trucks give you a more responsive turn and a little more wheel clearance so that you can use bigger wheels with less chance of wheel bite. TIP: If you are a beginner, we recommend choosing high trucks because it will give you far more truck and wheel options to choose from.
Are Santa Cruz skateboards good?
Santa Cruz complete skateboards are pretty decent. What I like about this complete are the forgiving wheels, the ‘pop’ of the deck, and the medium-hard bushings. They are great for learning how to ride because of the 95A OJ wheels, not too soft, not too hard, perfect for beginners.
