Want some ridiculously exaggerated turns? Sidewinders are for you. These bad boys lay over a turn any like anything else on the market. Check out the video below for an idea how these trucks ride.
Cast Double Hangar
Sidewinders are revolutionary in the way they allow riders to turn their trucks. The double hanger design gives riders a truer surf feel with incredible lean and carving. We recommend Sidewinder Trucks on boards specifically designed to accommodate them.
Bushing Seat Details
Included with the trucks are 89a barrel/cone Gullwing bushings. This set up, while fairly traditional, gives riders a great carving feel right out of the box. The actual bushing seat is similar to other TKP (traditional) trucks. If bushing replacements are wanted, be sure to buy enough for 4 normal trucks as Sidewinders take that many!

Maybe, it will depend on your deck. Typically we recommend using a skateboard deck with cutouts for extra room to avoid wheelbite because Sidewinders turn so much. Sidewinders are very different from other models of Gullwing skateboard trucks or Gullwing reverse kingpin trucks, so please keep that in mind.
