Reviews
John Doe
“I’ve been riding the Gullwing Shadow DLX trucks for about six months, and they’re incredible. The responsiveness is perfect for both street and vert skating, and I feel super stable even when I’m going at high speeds. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the trucks have held up really well. Definitely my go-to for any serious session.”
Sarah Smith
“I recently switched to the Gullwing Charger II trucks for my longboard, and I couldn’t be happier. The carving feels smoother, and I can confidently take on downhill runs without worrying about stability. These trucks are built to last, and I’ve already noticed improvements in my ride. Highly recommend them to anyone into freeriding!”
Michael Johnson
“As a slalom racer, I needed something that could handle tight turns and high speeds. The Gullwing Split Axle trucks were exactly what I was looking for. They offer amazing control and stability, and I feel much more confident during my runs. I’ve used other trucks before, but nothing compares to the precision these offer.”
Gullwing FAQ
Why do the Sidewinder II trucks have two kingpins?
The double-kingpin design acts like a linkage system, effectively doubling the pivot points to allow the truck to turn much further and sharper than a traditional single-kingpin truck.
Can I use Gullwing Sidewinders on any skateboard deck?
No, Sidewinders are best suited for “drop-through” or large “cut-out” decks; using them on a standard top-mount deck without enough clearance will likely result in severe wheel bite.
Are Gullwing Shadows good for beginner street skaters?
Yes, the Shadow series is highly regarded for its stability and “dead-center” feel, which helps beginners find their balance while being durable enough to last as they start learning tricks.
What bushings come stock with Gullwing trucks?
Most Gullwing models come equipped with high-quality Sector 9 (typically 89A or 92A) bushings, though many riders choose to swap them out based on their specific weight and riding style.
How do I prevent “squeaking” in my Gullwing trucks?
Squeaking usually comes from the pivot cup or the bushings; applying a small amount of paraffin wax or specialized skate lubricant to those contact points will usually silence the noise.
