ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

This is where we would like to add some comments from racers that have been using this truck. Keep 'em coming!

Wow! This truck is so good I think I might buy one myself (Marcus Seyffarth)

Is this really my board? It feels so good!!! (Fabian Björnstjerna)

- Is it real gold?
- Its race yellow, not gold you idiot!
- Wow it looks really fast

Not only are these trucks fabulous but they are free and someone else pays for shipping.

(How's that? Think it'll bring some traffic to the website?)

Thanks Wesley I'll send you a free set for every ten sold (as we agreed). Expect a 35' container to arrive on tuesday filled with trucks.

Qualifying 1st and 2nd and ending up 3rd and 4th is answer in it self.
Fantastic trucks! Good enough to beat the best!

I´m looking forward to this!!!
I really want to beat everybody!!!

A very nice pair of trucks!

cool board and really cool set ups do you ever test some diffrent degrees by the G.O.G truck ant stop the time to look what the best set up gonny bee?

i think the 161 trucks ar rally cool and "simple" to use and alsow really fust but i dont think that some trucks coud beet the G.O.G you got so many diffretn degrees you coud ride thats amaising!

I'm glad for you that you are sponsored by your favourite truck! Congratulations!

I really like it when "the other gang" are pushing their stuff in someone else´s thread.

To answer the questions.....

I have both GOG and 161. They are different to ride so I will not compare them due to wich is the best.
I think 161 is something between GOG and Radikal. Very turny and very precise, with a twist.
They make me smile in tight courses.

I also ride GOG´s and really love them.

Sorry...I forgot.....

Congrats on the sponsorship. You got some expectations to live up to from now on.

sorry i never wana made some trucks bad in dous trais i think the 161 are really cool trucks with a cool color

what i mean with the diffrent degrees i think you could made the most trucks on the market really fast with the perfect risers but there is no truck who you could so easy bad than the GOG and i think the 161 got some really cool "standard" degrees and with just small risers you could made it perfect for everybody!

I think tous trucks area whan of the best ond the market when ever everybody got some personal favorite

good job from the 161 guy!!!

I was just kidding with my remark. No bad feelings, I hope.

Have you tried the 161?
You must do that when you have a chance.

Anyway......I think it is wonderful with all this extremely good trucks on the market.
Everyone can tweak their boards to perfection and this will take this great sport to new hights.......if one can afford it.

After skating the 161 trucks since April I would say that we have a truck that is kind of special.
It turns very precise, aggressive but still smooth and rather than changing the wedging we have other ways to adjust the turning for tight, hybrid and GS.

So if you have a chance to try them, please do and try the different setups.

Basic set up would be
Front: flat on board or with 2mm flat riser, white kiro barrels, hanger for tight - no inner spacers, for hybrid use the small or the bigger as inner spacer, GS use both as inner spacer.

Rear: 5 deg to maximum 10 deg. Some of us also run it flat.
161 black bushings, or radikal green or black.
Spacers same as front.

No need for wedge adjustments.

I just cut and paste some from the European champs thread:

Personally me[Gustavs Gailitis], I want to say huge THANK YOU to all the organizers (it was my 4th European championship and 10th for my father (first for him was in 1988!)), to my friend Aivars who lend me his new ETTSEXETT trucks so I could finish on podium 3 times (3rd place in tight,special,hybrid and overall) with my superfast FULLBAG LOUIS RICARD model and to all competitors - it was nice to meet you all again and it was great that we had a guest from Colorado - the World champion Martin Reeves!

Email feedback from Bjoern Hekmati:

dude, these trucks are kind of perfect. as an engineer, i think alot about trucks, and i dont see any way to make them better. i am not a slalom crack like you, but i go much faster with them. thank u for these!

I've been using them for a month now and it feels really nice
Everything is possible on these trucks
Now I can do sharper turns on a special slalom course and more precise turns on a tight course. I haven't riden them on a giant slalom course, but i'm sure they'll be excellent there as well

GS.....i´ve heard they work fine

Works for me!
