Just curious if anyone that has been bowl/ramp skating with their Cx or C5 trucks has switched to riding regular skateboard trucks like Indys or the like.
I've been enjoying my transition skating so much as I've become more comfortable with it but have a new found desire to try some normal skateboarding tricks like Ollie's, maybe grinding a few rails and just utilizing the features of my local park more every time I go.
Recently switched my deck from the Carver Quill, with a 17" wheelbase, to an Andy Anderson Heron deck with my C5s trucks. But the Heron deck does have a 2" shorter wheelbase, which is made even shorter with the reverse kingpin of the C5 front truck.
So now I'm considering throwing some Indy trucks on that to widen that out to the 15" wheelbase the Heron deck has. Was wondering if anyone has switched to standard skateboard trucks and how that compares to the C5s or CX trucks, since we are all probably skating to improve our surfing.
Any thoughts or experiences are welcome as I've never really ridden a normal skateboard truck.
Also for anyone trying out new wheels on their surfskate. The powell peralta dragon wheels are mindblowing amazing. Highly recommend! I don't think I'll ever skate a different wheel after trying these.
