so i bought a set of the 5.6 because a) they were on sale, b) i was kind of curious, c) the trendiness and marketing hype was appealing, and d) mike anderson skates them now.
I set them up to the other day, loosened the kingpin nuts 180 degrees, and even still, I swear to you reader, these trucks did not turn. then i tried a simple flatground 360 flip. not being used to all the switches yet on these new trucks, the board didn't exactly go forward as when i scooped, but instead got sucked back in a certain way. I landed on the nose and snapped my board right at the baseplate.
we're not off to a good start here, but we'll keep trying and see how it goes.
