which trucks and why?-Vector Channel or ATS Skate

Basically I've been looking into buying a board and I have decided on either the MBS Core 95 or the MBS Core 90, the only difference seeming to be the trucks and £30. Any recommendations on which one?

Only advantage of the skate style trucks would be less weight, ideal for freestyle...and a couple more bucks in your pocket. The beefier, sprung channel trucks are more stable at speed.

My personal opinion would be to get the 95 and have a better all around board...that is also more ideal for learning.

channel trucks are more stable at speed, and beefier, overall recommended. Only real reason to go for the skate trucks is to save weight for doing board-off tricks.

Good call....not to mention the included board bag will save your car alot of mess.

Okay thanks, I'll go for the core 95 I think.
