Eh. Sidewinders are a cheaper version of the S series truck, that fell short. Just a little over $20.00 for a set of 2. If your wanting some cheap carvy trucks hit these up. The reason why I'm not a fan is the fact that your ride height goes up sooooo much that it makes freestyle hard, and that if they get even a little wet they squeak like mad. If you buy these be fully aware that these are carving trucks and nothing else. Looks 4/5, performance 2/5, and getting what you paid for 2/5.

Ah yes, Gullwing Sidewinders, In My Opinion, a blight on the longboarding world. These were the first trucks I owned on a Sector 9 cruiser deck. While i was content with what I owned at the time, once i got into longboarding, I wanted to throw these in the bin instead of sell them! These trucks are uncomfortably high with the double bushing seats, which also means my setup would cost an extra $20 for bushings. They promise carve, but doesn't deliver as Original S Series trucks do. Once I even hopped on Original trucks I saw the faults of these trucks, and furthermore when I started riding Randal's or Bears. As these are uncomfortably high, its harder to have a constant push going, and they turn about as well as my Subaru Forrester, Like a truck. I would not recommend these trucks at all, let alone any other Gullwing trucks. I give this truck a 4/5 misleading look factor and a 1/5 for performance.

The gullwing sidewinders... i got them on my second board. I thought, ya carving sounds fun. looks awesome. That board was the sector 9 aperture. these trucks feel like they make any board flexible. i feel that whatever board they are on it turns more flexible. which leads to stress cracks, which leads to SNAP! also, the second pivot area dug into my board when carving. There are now huge dig marks in the front.Also these trucks add like another inch to pushing room from ground to board. They just arent good trucks. But if you want a good carving truck thats small and low get some s6's.
