Depends. Try both tight and loose to see what you like. Depending on if you lean a lot if you land or whatnot. I like kinda medium....like not loose but not tight cause when i am rolling up to a set or something its easier for me to keep my balance.

Technically when you land, looser trucks will by easier to keep on. But its all preference.

Deffinatly loose for me.
But its all preference. I love my trucks wicked loose. A few of my friends ride trucks that are really, really tight trucks. I just find them awkward to do basically anything on, even just ride.

well ride your trucks tight then loosen them and ride with them, That will answer your own question!

Yup! Each person will be comfortable with different truck settings. Watch out for wheelbite with loose trucks though!

yeah...depending on how loose you mean...if like tony alva loose then watch out for wheel bite...you land on the edge of your board and its just going to stop and you just keep on going!

I just ride trucks the way they were when I bought them. Then, as they break in, I get used to the trucks more. I'll probably keep the same bushings until they explode.

If you have loose trucks, when you land crooked, it's alot easier to ride away.

i prefer loose trucks there easier to turn and when you land you dont fall of as much only problem is if you lan to far to the edge of the board the whole board bends side ways and its easy to stumble off

technically when you land, you get a shitload of wheelbite, which will promptly throw your ass forward.

That's balls, i skate very loose trucks and do stairs all the time, makes it easier to ride out if you land a little heavy on one side rather than just falling straight off.
