Carver truck... That's the one with the dual kingpin, right? I haven't ridden one, but I have heard good things about a nice deep, seemingly endless, turn. Haven't heard any reports about stability at speed though. My thoughts are it is strictly for carving, keeping your speed managable, by stayinging turny, and avoiding going straight. Proper DH Trucks (Bears, Kalahanis, GOG, Randals, etc.) for goin fast!

Yes, it has the dual king pins and carves like it's on water. It's a lot of fun but for speed I'll have to use the long board. Have you had the chance to skate lately?

Hello Phish,
Any chance you saw the Bones Brigade documentary? Have you ridden a Carver truck? I just got one of their boards and it has wicked carving action but I'm not sure how it would handle speed. Trying to figure out if it's a novelty item. I hope all is well. Take care,

Life is good around here. Plenty of days on the board! Found some awesome pow this year. Bikes are sleeping in the basement. I'm going to a father and son hockey game tonight with the stepson.
