Longboard trucks by Original:
More than 3 years in development, we finally have our full line of S-Series carving longboard trucks available on the market. With sizes ranging from 6'' (150mm) to 10'' (250mm) hangers the S-Series longboard trucks generates an unheard of turning radius which will change the way you skate forever. 
 The patented single spring resistance system, found in all Original longboard trucks, allows for a huge range of adjustment and extremely fine control of the loose end of the spectrum. In addition to an increased range of adjustment the spring also generates much more return to center than urethane resistance allowing even novice riders to rip snapy, powerful surf carves. Other torsion longboard trucks can generate the turning radius, but there are no other longboard trucks out there with the same snap that the single spring Original longboard trucks generate.
Since Original longboard trucks carve so much tighter, riders can effectively control their speed and, with practice, use their tight turns to slow down and even slide to a stop (similar to snowboarding). More control over your speed (generated by original longboard trucks) makes riding much safer for beginners and advanced riders a like and will open the door to steeper, big hill, snowboard style riding without eliminating the possibilty of flatland sidewalk surfing.
Turn initiation is also a key factor in the positive feel of Original's longboard trucks. By utilizing a "Flat Spot", which allows the board to remain ballanced while kicking/pushing, Original longboard trucks allow the rider to comfortably and confidently approach each turn without over tightening the longboard trucks or reducing the turning radius of his/her longboard skateboard.

S6 (150mm) Longboard Trucks |
Hanger Width: 6 inches (150mm)
Total Width (bolts included): 8.625 inches (220mm)
Required Clearance: 5 inches or thinner
Recommended Wheel Alignment: Side-Set
Hardware Included: Oversized Chrome Plated with custom 3/4'' Risers  The S6 was the first to be released in our line of carving longboard trucks. Like our other longboard trucks, the S6es sport a 45 degree reverse kingpin angle and make use of our patented single spring resistance.
The S6es will turn MUCH sharper than our S10 longboard trucks and significantly sharper than the S8s. This quickness makes them ideal for flatland but also makes them a good longboard truck for learning (as turn initiation will be much easier, allowing beginners to quickly get the feel for true carving).
Adcanced riders will find the S6 longboard trucks are a perfect sidewalk surfer and create unparralleled drive through the transitions. Available Online: S6 (150mm) Longboard Trucks |

S8 (200mm) Longboard Trucks |
Hanger Width: 8 inches (200mm)
Total Width (bolts included): 10.625 inches (270mm)
Required Clearance: 6.5 inches or thinner
Recommended Wheel Alignment: Side-Set
Hardware Included: Oversized Chrome Plated with custom 3/4'' Risers  When compared to our S6 longboard trucks, the Original S8 (200mm) longboard trucks are more stable, but not nearly as quick. Like our other longboard trucks, the S8s sport a 45 degree reverse kingpin angle and make use of our patented single spring resistance.
The wider axel of the Original S8 longboard trucks allows for compatibilty with a wider range of longboard decks while also increasing grip (wider is better). The increased grip, coupled with the additional confidence a wider (more stable) axel adds will allow the rider to generate more speed and be more agressive on bigger hills.
The Original S8s a more powerful truck and not great for learning. While it is possible to learn on any size Original longboard trucks, we recommend beginners start out on Original S6 longboard trucks to get the feel of riding our system. Available Online: S8 (200mm) Longboard Trucks |

S10 (250mm) Longboard Trucks |
Hanger Width: 10 inches (250mm)
Total Width (bolts included): 12.625 inches (320mm)
Required Clearance: 8 inches or thinner
Recommended Wheel Alignment: Side-Set
Hardware Included: Oversized Chrome Plated with custom 3/4'' Risers  The Original S10 (250mm) truck was born to cruise.
With the widest available hangers on the market the S10s boast 8 inches of clearance (making them compatible with most decks) and are the most stable trucks we make.
The width of the S10s combined with Original's patented single spring resistance will help your longboard skateboard generate the smoothest carves and sweetest lines while maintaining a stable platform at speed.
Like the Original S8s longboard trucks, the S10 longboard trucks are capable of carrying much more power through the turns and give the rider even better grip on the road. Traditional longboard trucks do not generate this power. More power means more speed, more speed is not necessarily the best thing for beginners. We recommend beginners start on our Original S6 longboard trucks and then work their way up as their skill level with longboard skateboards improves. Available Online: S10 (250mm) Longboard Trucks |
