| Just gonna copy Manu's post from FFI about this, so yeah - Quote :
Hello everyone , today i'm proud to show you the first photos of the new Closeup Gen4
The main changes are decks, trucks and top bushing
trucks :as oldshool fbers knows close up was the first company to produce single axled trucks and bases without stiking out kingpins , now the new trucks have wide hangers and a new top bushing which is cone-shaped. All the trucks are printed and will be available in blue,black,red and grey (color combo is just on my own set up)
Decks are the same shape as the close up G3, these new ones are 2 mm wider (27mm), co brandings with a lot of brands are coming , with 30 new graphics (here is the white Antiz angel )
griptape and riptape are included in the kit , everybody is making is own choice these are both printed
I hope you guys will like it, and please be cool , it's really a hard work that we are presenting here making new generations every year and i know as experience that some will want it more like this or less like that , but we are designing the stuff that we love and just want to share it with you
thanks a lot , don't hesitate to comment!
Good vibes from France and happy fingerboarding to you for 2011
How fucking sexy do those trucks look? o: |

| ^Yeah, that's definitely Biebel. So are these 27mm as it says, or 29mm? The wording kinda got me confused. |

| It's not like the trucks will work on wide decks.. it'll just look small. Regular wide trucks are around 29-30 if i'm not mistaken? And even those aren't big enough for current deck sizes.
Either way, good step up for closeup.. but still not good enough to get me to purchase. |

| Well they make the trucks to fit their decks, which are only 27, and they don't look to be hanging over any on the pictures... but the shape is good, if they would have made them wide and sell them separately I think they would be fantastic. |

| nick, shut up. I know a lot of people like 32+ decks but I'm still a 29-30 fan. Gonna get a set and they'll look great on a 28-30mm deck. Current wides are 28-29. Props to closeup. Single axle trucks with a lush shape and cool colours = win, imo |

| 27 is still way to thin, 29 to 30 i would say is a perfect size, and 30+ graphics |

| 27 is about the size of standard BWNM's, if not slightly thinner, it's not going to make much difference. |

| way too skinny idk why they cant get the point that fingerboarders want wides! 29-31 is all i would ever ride! skinny decks just don't perform!
props for upgrading but your still about a year behind the scene! |
