| I didn't think I'd have to specify walk in fingerboard store as we are on a fingerboard forum.. I have been to the shops for bread today so I'm well aware that there are walk in stores ..
My question today is what's the advantage to brts or ys over regular wides |

| They are really nice for looseness, weight, lock nuts, design and paint, as well as the length of time they last in comparison to wides.. |

| well for the improvement, no, but you have to remember the molds they bought to make them cost a bomb so thats what you are paying for.. |

| Yeah I'd say they cost alot to get the original mold etc.. But they should lower the price when they've covered it in that case lol
I think I'm gonna buy some when I start my job |

| I see alot of people on YouTube with very loose trucks, mine are pretty tight since I got them and I always had my td trucks tight over the years..
Could someone tell me the advantages to loose trucks over tight trucks?
Would you recommend I loosen mine |

Would you recommend I loosen mine I like having medium tightness on the trucks. I too used super tight TD trucks for ages but the advantage of loosening them is that you can actually turn a bit and it makes your style a lot smoother. I also recommend this for skateboards. |
