Agree- trucks break very easily with heavy use. I have had them for six months and keep my trucks quite loose too. Luckily, replacement trucks are relatively affordable at $20/pair.

These are my first metal/aluminium plates after having nylon ones before only. As a jammer, they are way too heavy for me. It's harder to lift your feet quickly, though you can feel they have more power behind than the nylons. I tried the revenge too and they are much lighter and keep you more agile. Ok entry plate for intermediate blockers, but think of spending a few more bucks on a lighter plate.

This plate was an upgrade for me, although i love the plate itself after trying other good plates these are a bit heavy and have broken 3 trucks in 5 months...Overall a good truck for the price and a good first upgrade from a nylon truck, good for the intermidiate skater. Im moving into the advance catagory and am waiting for my revenge plates to come in.

Pros: Good transitional plate from beginner skater to more advanced Cons: HEAVY, flimsy trucks (I broke 3

These are not good plates for jam skating i cant keep my pair together i have them on a 395 boot and they break something every couple of weeks. Not a good plate if your heavy on your skates, for the normal person its a fine plate. Its also a little heavy
