Trucks on a truck.

Orion was a spinoff brand from Tracker designed to appeal to the street skateboarding scene. Were the trucks any good? I know they were popular amongst a bunch of pros, but how did they work out for the common folks? I believe the company is still around today, but I'm not positive on that.

These trucks were terrible, at least upon first release. The big problem was axle slippage, until the entire axle would come out. I only had a pair because they came on a CCS complete.

That seems about right. My friend always got the cheap completes from CCS around that time that came with Trackers. The trucks did not ever look very good.
