I think the best is tight but that can still turn a little.
i seem to get better pop with them tight, but loose looks alot better.

I used to think that loose trucks were bad, but now if you have a long enough kingpin they feel better when they are looser, I find it easier to pop and catch tricks on my miniaturefingerskateboardingdevice.

Pros of Loose:
Steezier
cleaner landings
easier to maintain

Cons of Loose
sometimes hard to pop tricks off
harder to pop


But i think this all depends on the deck and its specififcations.

I've rode loose for a year, but now I ride loose. I use FBS Kingpins. DO NOT RIDE LOOSE WITH TECH DECKS!!!! it seriously sucks.

Pros of loose trucks:
Smootha
Feels good
Adds style

Cons:
Frequent Adjustments
Hard to maintain.

i think riding loose trucks wont wear bushings like riptape bushings as fast as tight trucks
i think the constant pressure on the bushing like that prolly wears it out quicker
stating the obvious?

haha prolly(:

Loose trucks. You can carve, more realistic and stylish. But it's more pop if tight.
