Silver L Class trucks review

Out with the old and in with the new!
Have been skateing the silver m class trucks for about a year now and although they probably still have a fair bit of life left in them decided to buy a new pair, this time the silver l class ryan gallant pro models.
These are very slightly lower than the m class and I mean slightly, around 1-2mm difference.
These have a slightly different geometry to the m class kind of similar to ventures.
They have a hollow kingpin and just like the m class have really good build quality.
Upon putting them on my board and standing on it I notice that the turn on these is a lot smoother and the bushings feel like they have already been broken in which is strange as the bushings are the same as the m class and with these they felt really hard when I first got them!
I seriously dont know why more people dont skate silver trucks as the build quality is solid, they last for ages and they grind smooth as hell!
The L class have a nice stable ride but turn when you need them to.
Next time your thinking of which trucks to get I would definatley reccommend checking out the Silvers.

Independent truck bushings

So my bushings had finally had it!
After a quick little search I decided to go for some independent replacement bushings as they are a good price and have heard how good they are!

Now I dont really like bushings too soft nor do I like them too hard, so opted for the 92a medium hard.  These are the new cylinder style which I really like as they do offer a slightly more stable ride compared to the older conical type and they do have a smoother turn, not too twitchy like some of the other bushings available.

Well I now have them all set up on my trucks so will let you know how they are over the next few days.


**Ok so its been a good few weeks now skateing these and have to say they are really good bushings, smooth on the turn and nice and stable.  

They seem to be nice and durable so will last a long time hopefully!
