Frankly, I think there is a lot about the carver truck that you're currently just not able to get out of it. They're different for sure, but I disagree with the statement that it's more restricting period. You're form isn't amazing, and that's fine, you're learning. However, this is not really the point where you ought to be looking at these truck systems in terms of their inherent potential. That's just not where you are at yet. It is completely fair to say that one makes you more confident and that for that reason you aren't squeezing as much out of the C7 as the yow, but that should reflect on you and not the board. That's just my reaction to your formulation around the 40 seconds mark. Besides that, great video.

Would have been great to see how the Carver CX compared here to the other two.

CX and C5. If your intention is to ride transitions in parks, I think the C7 is the least likely to make you happy. It's a wonderful, flowy truck for a bit longer wheelbase, on flat ground and gentle slopes, not vertical ramps. I have all 3, though I have yet to really do too much with the C5 yet since it won't stop raining here. They all fit a certain profile of uses, or Carver wouldn't produce them all.

Carver CX can get you through more speed. More stable and good in transitions. C7 are better for flatgrounds and less speed.

I am finding that I like the C7 better with a longer wheelbase, that helps it flow through turns. On a 16" wheelbase it never felt quite right to me, but with an 18" wheelbase Mayhem deck with a bit of rocker and perfect concave, it feels great and does anything I would want from it. For transitions, the CX and C5 are better choices. That's why they make different trucks.

Try some yow trucks on a Carver deck with your preferred wheelbase. They have the best decks. Better concave and shape and stiffness. Keep the tail nice and wide, stay away from split tails pin tails etc. I have my Yow trucks on a Carver Greenroom deck, and it’s top notch.

i do the exact opposite, i love Yow decks and mount all my Carver's trucks there 🫣

My older Carver decks are just okay. But my new ones are excellent. They've really done good work on their concaves, and it seems they've gone to a bit longer wheelbase on most models that aren't minis, which is better, too, for a full sized adult man.

@@ColindeSilva I think it’s more likely down to the system, it’s a really great skate and is super fun but used as a surf trainer I’ve found it super restrictive

@@scottishsurfer9885 i meant the YOW! I have to be very careful of forward weight distribution - to be fair, I can't yet drop in properly, my technique isn't YOW-ified.
