What is the differance in truck sizes for my skateboard?

Question

I want to know what is the differance in truck sizes: low, medium, or high. Does it make a differance?

Answer 1

It's mostly personal preferrence, though what you are skating makes a difference.  The higher the truck the easier it will be to pop big ollies, but a lower truck is easier to clear copings if you're skating ramps and bowls.  If you have friends that skate the different heights, see if you can ride theirs, and see what feels best to you.  I personally skate higher trucks on the street and lower ones on ramps, but every skater is different.  If you haven't been skating that long though, its really not going to make much difference one way or another, but eventually you'll get it dialed in, and figure out what works best for you.

Answer 2

low trucks-------- will give you less pop making your  ollies harder to do and making them smaller

medium trucks -------have a good balance of height for pop and shortness these are good for beginners

high trucks------ are really good for flip tricks because they give you lots of pop giving you a high ollie which in turn gives you lots of time to exacute the trick

Answer 3
