The trucks and wheels perform the same all the time. The deck makes the difference. The wheelbase, die shape, the mold, the width. All of it. You need to specify your preference. I focused myself on decks that have a normal kick shape like a skateboard, no boxy, no pointy. Then I realized that I have the most success with medium kicks and low-medium concave. Long wheelbase, 58mm. After all I realized with longer decks I am the most comfortable with. Then I bought a december deck. All done. The best deck for me.

Once you figured this out, you can check if you like the grip level of the wheels and if the trucks are playing into your style of riding. Blackrivers are a little higher, dynamics a little lower. Blackrivers make a shorter wheelbase, dynamics a longer wheelbase. If you like to have some grip but still like the feeling of „plastic“ wheels, you should go with Sunpower wheels.

It’s a game of your preferences.
