Pantheon Prana / Ember on street trucks

I know this may be a bit of a long shot but since Prana / Ember are still a kind of a long distance pushers I hope it’s still OK to ask; So I received a gift card to a skateshop which is mainly focused on street skating… They have Indy/Ace/Thunder/Sloppies but no Paris Trucks. I was thinking about pairing one of those with Pantheon Prana / Ember deck but I am not sure if this is a good idea and if I won’t miss having typical Longboard oriented TKPs like Paris or Stylus… what would You get in such situation? Anyone had a chance to ride those boards with such trucks, ideally comparing these to Stylus or Paris TKP?

DIY Pantheon inspired board

Hi there, my first post here so I’d like to introduce myself with the first board I’ve made - so this one is based on Pantheon Ember Eco geometry but a little bit wider, flatter concave and optimized for smaller (70 mm wheels) + loads of flex to keep the dampening despite having relatively small wheels.

I’ve got into longboarding this year and first board I’ve got was a cheap mini cruiser which I found pretty unrideable after a while… bought myself Landyachtz Drop Hammer and that got me really into the longboards. Since I replaced the Drop Hammer wheels with a bigger ones I realized I could use the cruiser TKP trucks with the Hawgz wheels for making a smaller, more portable setup and this is the outcome!

To my surprise it turned out so good I barely touch the Landyachtz now. Mileage on the Super Sheep is 165 km and 120km on drop Hammer totally. I just love how nimble and low that board is comparing to the Landyachtz. As I started learning slides I have put a set of Peralta Snakes on it and it just kills now, super nimble, effortless pushing, lightweight and portable setup, with surprisingly good road imperfections soaking.

I am working on the bigger brother version now, which will use Bear RKPs from the Drop Hammer and designed for 85mm wheels for distance pushing!
