TRUCKS - loose or tight ?
ok...I've searched the whole internet to find,how is more comfortable to skate - with loose or tight trucks and i didn't find anything except this site... give your opinions!
and loose or tight trucks for tricks
and loose or tight for gaps
and loose and.... for ramps,verts (Y)
I'd say:
high speed = tight trucks
slow and smooth = loose trucks.
why high = tight?
You'll probably know when you're going to fast, your skateboard will get woobly and out of controll so that's why I advice you to take tight trucks when going fast like I do =)

Sounds about right.
Loose for street so you can ride away from stairs, rails, and flat without tic-taccing.
Tight for gaps and vert so you don't get wheelbite or fall off.
go with loose trucks the only time i really use mine tight is when im cruise n around so i dont get speed wobble and loose trucks also help with kickflips and other tricks
I'd say loose when you're doing low impact and/or low speed or stuff you're used to doing, then when trying significantly faster/bigger stuff you're doing than what you normally do, tighten your trucks a bit, such as trying a stair set you've never done before.
Loose isn't good for stairs unless you have perfect landings, because it makes it way easier to get wheelbite.
Anything with speed ,you should consider Tight trucks for more safety. But if your trying to skate something with no speed and its smooth then loose trucks bro.
I like tight truckz because I do alot of freestyle trickz and u need them tight just do what feelz good
