Adjustable angle trucks, made by G-Bomb skateboards in Vancouver, check them out at Bad Monkey bikes and skates. I gave them a ride and they ride pretty well.

Woah, looks like a less sketchy version of Grom Biz trucks. Still, that adjustable stuff freaks me out, I'd definitely like to check them out though.

Scott had a set of these set up on a deck a couple of years ago and I rode it out in front of his house back and fourth a few times....the consensus: They're a good idea in theory for carving and what not, but they're way too flexy and they really limit your foot placement as you can see your feet can't get even close to the front or back wheels. The board also sat a little too low to the ground once you try to turn. Fun to try but def. wouldn't throw down money for them. I'm not sure which is sketchier though...these or the grom biz trucks.

I was thinking the application of them might be suited to an allaround slalom board. You can adjust the angle between tight and giant slalom turning on the same deck.

I'm not selling them or anything, I just saw them at the shop and thought they were a cool. A local dude close to the shop built them in his garage.

they'd be too flexy for slalom and you wouldn't be able to get the right stance between the trucks considering on my slalom board my front foot is just barely behind the front wheels...almost on top of. These are also just my opinions. I like that people are always trying new concepts though.
