This is a very sturdy design with 10 degree trucks. It is very responsive so you will have to know if you like your trucks tight or loose because you can definitely feel it in the performance. I tried it both ways but I seem to have more control with loosened trucks. The only thing I had to add were flat washers inside my shoes for the bolts that secure the plate, a set of locking nuts and a little lock-tite on the threads otherwise, their nuts will come off.
