Yeah I don’t know where this comes from. Look at downhill longboarding, they use extremely narrow trucks.

Yeah downhillers go faster than us and they’re on the narrowest trucks. Narrow trucks have the reputation of being twitchy and I think that comes from having more control and somehow wider trucks that are less responsive but you have less control over are more stable?
