Question
hey ive been skating for  a while but ive been fortunite enough not to ever break a truck or have to get new ones. well not true im on my second pair of ti lites. but my Q was whats up with like the mid, high, and low trucks. i heard some are used on vert and some are made more for vert just wondering.

Answer
I'm not totally sure if high or low trucks are made specifically for vert or street, but it's all what feels best for you. I usually go with med trucks, but if being higher or lower feels better when you skate, go with that. Trucks are trucks, basically all the same, remember that.

Expertise

I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience

Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.
