World's Finest Rail-to-Rail Surfskate Carving Trucks
Hamboards Surfskate Carving trucks (HST's) are sold as fully assembled sets of two trucks outfitted with 20 lbf restorative force (silver) springs, black auto-tune kingpins, and massive 24 mm wood riser blocks (painted black). Also include is a kingpin hex tool and M6 55mm hardware which can fit most regular longboards.
The first thing you"ll notice are the massive size and smooth, artisan curves. The base plate mounting block features four lancet arch shaped reliefs that are complemented by a raptor wing profiled hanger. The mounting block reliefs provide enough clearance for a box wrench to ease installation. The super lightweight T6 heat treated aluminum and the cavernous arrow tip cavity makes HST's super-light and rugged.
So long as they're lubricated and tuned properly, the nylon wave cam mechanism is profoundly robust. The cam key secures the wave cam and lock nut tucked into a massive pivot cup. A recent development is the Moly Washer which has completely eliminated "loose" fit and squeaking.
These new Hamboards Trucks took four years of designing, testing and improving to create their authentic style of riding. The HST is an international cooperative effort: invented by a NASA Engineer, ride tested in America, designed in Europe and manufactured at the world's best truck factory in Asia.
