For casual skater under 150lbs.
The media could not be loaded. This set is not what to order for a "skater". It's for someone who wants to casually cruise around and do basic tricks that's not over 150lbs/68kgs. The reason for the weight limit is because the clearance between the wheel and the board is fairly slim. This means when leaning one way or the other the wheel actually rubs the board. This is more than bothersome, it's dangerous. I put some big, fat riser pads on and still got extremely close to rubbing with the trucks as tight as possible. Also, in the video, you'll see the difference in how the wheels spin with the bearings included (not so great) vs "Bones Red Bearings", which have been the standard since the 90's I believe. If you're lightweight and not ready to get wild on a board, get these! The value is good. If you're wanting to make your favorite skater happy, you'll really want to go name brand. Like Independent trucks, Spitfire wheels (the included ones are a little soft) and Bones Bearings. Note: if you order Bones, they might not come with spacers and you won't get the additional hardware. Hope this review helps!

Best option at this kind of price
Writing this review after a few months of riding them. These trucks can take a serious beating for the money, I've done 50-50s and Feeble grinds on them daily for 4 months and they have yet to give out. The stock bushings are suprisingly alright, they have a very "tech-y" feel. I'd compare them best with a pair of ventures, albeit they're definitely a bit heavier. The wheels are just okay, they'd be best suited for rough ground since they're extremely soft. If you've got harder wheels, I'd use those if you ride street. The bearings, also surprisingly, aren't bad. They ride a lot like Spitfire Cheapshots, which is pretty decent to get you going. All in all, I was really pleasantly surprised with these. They're pretty high quality, especially for the price. If you've got the money for Tensor/Venture/Indepent trucks, I'd definitely go with one of those, but if you don't, I'd say these are definitely your best way to go.

Great quality for the price
These parts seem to be really good quality for the price. The wheels are thinner than my mini logo 52mm wheels, but actually feel smoother on the street or smooth surface. I’ve only rode once, need to tighten the trucks more, but I’m very pleased so far. 5 stars

Decent value for the money.
My 12 year old enjoyed finding an old board that was disposed of at the skate park, sanding it down and adding these trucks and wheels. Definitely worth the experience. The bearings needed to be inserted and I felt that they could have a little more “spin” to them but the important thing is my child was happy with them.

Not for serious skaters(The best review)
The actual trucks are very good. But the wheels are very bouncy, to an extreme. So I hated them, also the bushings, they started breaking after 5 minutes(literally 5 min). Basically the feel of the board is terrible. And it is not easy to land tricks since the board bounces beneath your feet before you can land.Again. the trucks are good, in my opinion. But I have not grind tested them.But for the first time in my life I threw the board to the air in anger(like 3 times). Don't buy this if you're serious in skating. unless you have your own set of wheels and maybe some better bushings.The wheels are soft, like longboard wheels but in the shape of a street skateboard. The Bearings are okay, they work well but don't spin a lot. And idk if the shock pads make it bounce worse or if it absorbs the bounce. The good thing about the wheels is that the roll smooth on rough surfaces.Anyways the seller was good, the only problem was,,, buying cheap.
