I really just wanted to know because I have had two pairs of Black River Trucks and they are getting boring, thanks!

I heard they arent. I don't even think BRR trucks are worth it now that I have a set.

So what you are saying, Y-Trucks are possible better than Black River Trucks?
Thanks!

It really depends on your preference. I've had both and in my opinion blackriver trucks are better for loose riding. They both are basically equal in smoothness when grinding. But I know people that prefer y's. Also, blackriver trucks are more responsive in my opinion. But again, that's just my preference. Not saying y's aren't awesome trucks though

It depends on your preference, it's different for all fingerboarders.
Try out both and decide
I personally prefer Y Trucks after riding both.

After shooting through like three pairs of BRTs in less than a year before, I would have to say that I prefer every set of Ytrucks I've ever had, (which haven't ever broke on me)

plus you can use any wheels on Ytrucks.

pros of y's- any wheels, inverted kingpin rarely comes loose, axels never strip, no super glue needed
pros of brts- some people prefer shape, dont have to use special torx allen key screws, kingpin fits all bushings

brts , have that shape that wheels wich are special designed for them fits , ytrucks havent , ytrucks fits basicly every wheel

i like brts better

Pretty much the Ford/Chevy conversation of the fingerboarding world imao, depends on your style and budget. Like anything else the best thing to do is get both and compare, subtle downsides either-way mostly around compatibility. Ultimately if your bored best to experiment with other brands so you don't loose your interest overall.

...this thread again? Really?

It's all preference. I love my BRTs, don't like YTrucks and would really rather not use china...it's preference. Try stuff out if you fancy it, no one's opinion is really gonna help you decide.

Y trucks paint is terrible. Mine came off on the first grind. Brr trucks are alot better cuz theyre easier to screw into a board and the overall feeling is just better but y trucks are alot lighter
