They feature a sliding kingpin system, this allows the trucks to maintain the degree of the turn all the way through. Another unique feature is the equal compression on the bushings all the way through. Traditional trucks the kingpin compresses the bushings. As you tighten them one of the bushings get more of the force than the other, equal compression eliminates this problem offer riders a truck that allows hard bushings to feel feel soft, yet still offer the stability they desire for downhill skate application.

Abec11 had their signature wheels on display, hinting at the possibility of more special edition runs of our favorite Abec11 formulas. I’m stoked on this, the Amber Flashbacks have been some of my favorite wheels I’ve ever skated.

The booth also featured tons of blank Jet decks highlighting the new shapes Jet boards will have in 2014. Alongside the blanks were banners featuring new graphics, although it wasn’t clear which boards the new graphics belonged too, I liked what I saw and am excited for the upcoming spring line of Jet longboards.
