Paris 180 Adam Colton
These were my first bushing truck I got after riding Original S8s for about 10 months. I've been riding these trucks for about 5 months on my Apex 37, and they ROCK. I highly recommend them. These trucks for one look SICK with the monster design by adam colton himself. A great part about them is that they are really light, and if you are coming from OS trucks like I was, it makes a huge difference, it is better for freestyle especially. They are the really good carving trucks, and the best carving bushing truck I've tried. Again, if you are coming from OS trucks, they carve almost as well (at least on the apex 37). They are at an angle of 50 degrees which in my opinion is a great balance between stability, and carving power. I really like how the Adam Colton trucks come stock with a softer bushing at 86a, instead of the 90a for other Paris 180 trucks. This is better for carving, and freeride and all around performance. (unless you're more into downhill) Another plus is the lifetime warranty put on all Paris trucks, if the hanger every bends from too many jumps or whatever, you can get a new truck at no cost totally free! I highly suggest you check out these trucks. 5/5 for all around performance, and definitely 5/5 for looks.

These trucks are also surprisingly good at speed, especially with a lower angle Randal base plate.
I have personally taken then up around 60 kph with 50 degree plates on a Rayne mini Killswitch with an 85/90a barrel combo and it felt perfectly solid under my 165 pound weight.
All in all a wonderful 'divey' feeling all round truck and worth the money

As everyone else has said, these trucks look awesome. They make your bushings look awesome as well. but that doesnt matter i guess. it matters how they ride. i personally love paris trucks. The only complaint i have is that the bushing seat is too deep sometimes. If your rocking a cup washer (stock) and you put in some soft carvy bushings you can get washer to hit the hanger, which leads to some deep scratches. But if you just flip it over its pretty much a flat washer and works better.
