The new gullwing SL2002 trucks are terrible. I had some and couldn't get them to work for slalom, which is probably why you haven't seen any at the races.

I am pretty sure I saw one person using the latest version of Gullwing's during the qualifying rounds of the FCR World Championship Series on the 11th at Avila Beach.
I don't know who it was. Maybe someone else here knows who it was?

somebody once told me that this trucks were way ahead of their time. now GERT uses a similar but better way to increase/decrease the kingpin angle.

if this is supposedly to be a good thing, (no risers needed why not many persons uses them?

i saw them and found them too high.

Does anyone actually use these trucks anymore? I've seen a couple days of racing by international competitors and I don't remember seeing one set of Gullwing wether it was the Split, Phoenix or the newest edition.

Is there anyone out there using them?

What do you think?
