Recently needed new trucks, and on a whim decided that Ace was the only main brand I'd never really tried and it was probably time. I got the classic 44's with the hard Ace bushings and I'm really liking them so far!
I had been riding FA/Hockey 8.38's with titanium Indy's for 2+ years, and that combo was pretty damn perfect. Unfortunately that deck shape didn't go so well with the Aces though - my pop felt way off and it seemed way harder to get up onto ledges, especially nollie. Currently riding an 8.5 Hockey, which is better with the longer wheelbase etc, and it's feeling better, but was wondering if there was a more ideal shape out there. I like a steep pop, and I've been on FA/Hockey for so long my other board brand knowledge is at square one these days. What do you guys think works real well?
I'm guessing the goal is shorter/steeper nose/tails with longer wheelbase? The Polar P2 seemed interesting but I've never seen one in real life.
