...although originally made for "radical" and pool skateboarding, some of the LUGE guys use Z-Roller trucks if I am not mistaken.

There are better choices for the same money for a slalom board if that is what you are building.

Very stable and slow-turning. They make horrible slalom trucks, but are great for downhill and for pushing around.

...as i know, the funny thing with these trucks is, that they have a kind of integrated copper for grinds that "rolls" when you hit the pools coping - so you dont need any additional plastic coppers. but as well as with z rollers and plastic coppers you will miss this special grind sound - kracccckckkkhhh - you know

but its definetely not a slalom truck

thanx!

thank you for posting your experiences!

i didn`t plan to use these trucks for a slalomboard.... more for something like a cruiser or a pool board (but i can`t already poolride - perhaps i`ll learn it)
