As someone who rides both Bennetts and GOG's, I can attest for the quality of Speed-Dealer's modded Bennetts. I run the rear offset, with my GOG up front. They are not s#@!ty, as others have said. They are strong as f#@!. I've hit cracks and been pitched at high speeds, and the axles haven't been affected. Wish I could say the same about my skin... but that's another story....
As for winning World Championships as a benchmark for a quality truck. World Champions can win on whatever truck they ride, they're just that good. Blair's trucks are a very small part of the market. I'd be willing to bet there are less than 50 out there. I'd be willing to bet a champion would win in them if he or she was on them. Blair can't afford to sponsor anyone by giving them free trucks, and he's not making any money from them. They are just good trucks and are another option for racers out there.

to see a rather lively and motivated thread locked up due to adversarial opinions / over-competitiveness in the industry.
Time to go sk8.

The list cited here is nothing more than one guy's opinion, there was never a poll taken or compiled.

Just stirring false s#$t up here again to give yourself yet another chance to character attack another individual and rip on Radikals and Bennetts?
You're the only mfg that consistently rips on competitors products, and you're so butt-hurt by one guy's opinion in something buried deep-down in an insignificant post -- why is that Donald?

there has been a poll on snb forum
and blair watson helped us to get 2nd place
first place is a tie between rads and bennetts
surely worlds best trucks so far
gogs are followed by gullwings which are also supercool racing trucks for sure.
splitfires seem to suck a bit,only 4th place.
i don't see airflow rears in the poll,they must be really s#@!ty.
we feel very bad about the dangerous flaws in design and especially me,i want to say thank you my bro blair.
keep on the good and investigative work and research you are doing.
slalom needs people with such explicit knowledge posting the truth and just the naked truth on forums
Slalom
1) Radikal - tie - Bennett
2) GOG (dangerous flaws in design)
3) Gullwing SL2002
4) Splitfire
5) Ace
6) Gullwing Phoenix
7) Indy Stage I, II, III
8 ) Seismic
9) Lazer
10) Tracker

Slalom in Brazil

Cat talked all, those who opt for better use the best. The problem of staff here in Brazil is not having money to pay a very expensive material, as if to see a material Slalom as Shape Pavel and trucks GOG leaves around U.S. $ 2.000,00 and here in Brazil we have shortcomings, we Sponsors provide this material.
I am sad to see this fight between nations.
I have my Shape ChillHill won, which was in 3 of the Autodromo Interlagos, I am very grateful to Chris Favero which can make this opening to the sport and PAVEL also giving a helping Kako Max my big brother.
I only hope that this will not interfere in future international competitions.
What matters is riding a Skate with friends and enjoy the montão.
Thank you for space.

well i've already bribed their chinese and korean connections,i had the micro disk smuggled in across the border in one of my vietcong hookers,it's being downloaded right now and we're gonna blow up their explosion because my milling machines have the same software controls as the brasilians except our prototype machines are powered by underage viet children on pedal bikes,so we won't be nearly as effected by any spike in energy prices. The battle of the international corporate slalom supergiants is on.Oh yeah ,we're gonna avoid those annoying german import tarriffs by smuggling in the finnished trucks by airdropping them into the black forrest in bails of contraband sauerkraut

Brazil has way less stringent copyright/patent protection laws. Ask the Tracker guys about it!!!! They are even using the Tracker logo! Not much they can do about it either, sucks donkey dicks!
I do think these guys are full of s#@!. The market is soo small it doesn't really make financial sense. I would be ripping off CNC DH Trucks if I were them. I'm actually surprised there aren't some already on the market.

that is really low,really just unimaginative and stupid. i also don't think it's as easy as these brasilians may think. I could be wrong, if you have alot of money it might be easy, but then you wouldn't have to do it. If they're openly talking about it on a website it's probabely just bs,like a bar room conversation complete with blueprints on the napkins, and they're not really gonna do it. If they were really gonna do it ,you wouldn't hear about it ,it would just be done . i doubt randal heard about the copies.

The phrase "Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery" comes to mind.
I think Mr. Leonardo knows a good thing when he sees it!
Brazil shouldn't be deprived because the antics of a few people.
I know Kako, Iuri, JV, Josue, Thiago, Lucas & Marcio have Pavels, some have GOG's. They love to get together for slalom sessions & would be very sad if Pavel & GOG were not available to them anymore.
Bootleg Pavels & GOG's?? Most will want the real thing. Those who choose to buy fakes, well..... you get what you pay for.
Brazilians are good people. They have already proven that!
