If you are looking to make the most of a cruiser with carves for days, Paris V3s trucks will give you a ride as smooth as a baby's bottom...ok maybe not that smooth, but you get the point. The base plate of the Paris V3 will stick out a little, providing an added layer of protection similar to a noseguard, making sure your cruiser stays as fresh as a daisy.

Lets talk wheels: The Derringer’s tapered shape allows for big wheels with minimal risk of wheel bite, so you can cruise your street as smooth as a skipper on a glassy lake. The Sataslides are stone-ground wheels, meaning they are already broken in to get your sideways in no time flat.
