| I use dump trucks. They're cheap and sturdy. I don't think trucks are really worth that much, they can't be much different at all, just get good tuning. |

No, they don't have the kingpin bump, and I'm pretty sure he'll do that. I requested that he sent me some that matched the deck and he did a good job choosing the right color. |

| Dump trucks are China trucks BUT with the rebranding, you know that you will be supporting Flatface who put so much back into the scene. Other companies that re-sell China products may not do that. |

| I got the Bollie V2 trucks over the dump trucks when I bought a new pair of wides. They're custom molded from what I could tell and good for the price point. |

What separates Dump Trucks from any other truck is... It's sold by the one and only... Mike Schneider on Flatface. And John C. came up with the name. |

This They're quite sturdy, especially on the axles. I accidentally stepped on my setup today while trying to pick it up, axles didn't even bend. Love my Bollie V2's. |

| Just an FYI.. EVERY TRUCK that isn't a tech deck (although they're basically the same thing), BRR truck, Ytruck, or closeup truck, IS A CHINA WIDE. Even the 'shaped' ones, they're just a different kind of china wides (like bollie 2s and 3s) Whether flatface sell it, some shitty china companies like class A sell it marked up to like £10 for something they brought for 50p, or anything like that. They're good, but buy from companies who support fingerboarding, that's the best way to go |

And if you don't you'll deal with terrible customer service, disgusting shipping times, and ultimately a sour experience... Like me! Seriously guys just spend the extra money and buy it from real stores... They at least respond to their emails in a timely fashion. |
