so i vote "krux"

stick man
04-26-2008, 05:29 PM

I thought it was "Which truck do you currently have" I currently have tensor but I don't find them to be the best, they are damn good so far, they're LIGHT

DUDEEEE, it's krux! you've got it wrong twice now lolol

I voted venture, because I'm selfish and voted for the trucks I have. But thunder look really awesome, I'd love to have a pair of them some day but my skate store stopped selling them for some reason.

Tensors are so light. I think Tensors are the best.

A. Tons of trucks threads.
B. You forgot Royal.
C. You forgot Silver.
D. You forgot Grindking.

Royal = Epic win.

Also, I'm digging my first pair of Royals.
Tensors aren't all too bad either.

Who are you referring to with the 'either'? Did you take my smilie face wrong?
It was a D:, as in a appalled face. Not a :D

I love Royals. I meant that they should be on the poll. :)

There is not best trucks only trucks that are the best to you. You have to try out a bunch of different ones before you can say which type, but the ones that are the best to you, may not be the best for someone else. (I wish people would stop with these best (insert skate product) threads cause theres no real answer. Everyone thats said a brand is saying what they perfer.

Myself I think that the best trucks for me are Navagators, their concaved so when I grind a bowl or on vert its smooth as silk. But thats just my 2 cents.

i would say tensor they are really light and you can turn amazingly i would go with tensor that is all i skate they are the best trust me they rule

Thunders. Fairly light and they turn great.

This thread should be called "which trucks do you recommend?" because there really isn't a "best" truck.

I recommend venture or thunder.

Grind Kings are definintly the worst. My kingpen just broke for the 3rd times since I got them a few months ago.

I am gonna say Indys are the best, well my favorite. I think I might get a set soon, cause I am tired of these piece of **** Grind Kings breaking on flat ground tricks.

Dewd, if your breaking kingpins lots, just flatground... Your obviously doing something wrong. I personally think GK's look too tiny for me, but the newer models look alot better. All the GK's at our local shop come with a no kingpin breakage guarantee. And I highly doubt a big company like GK would make such a crappy product.

Many people have problems with GK kingpens breaking on them, but they will give you a free kingpen everytime one breaks. It sucks having to go one week of no skating until the kingpen come in the mail. Their trucks are awesome overall, but their weak kingpens are making me mad.

Lol, that sounds ridiculous. I don't know why they would not have fixed a problem like that yet...

Hehe, yea yea... And everyone else swears by something else. :P

oh I like Trackers too! Trackers and Independent are more old school type trucks. You younger kids like that popping and grinding.

What are Krunks?? Is that supposed to be Krux?

Anyhow, Krux are now my favorite trucks. I've always been, and always will be, a Venture fan but Krux's are better IMO. They turn better, grind better, and feel better in the hand when carrying your board. Heh, I said "feel better in your hand" hehehe. :tongue:

Yesterday I skated with my other board that has Ventures and it just solidified my love for Krux. I also noticed, for some odd reason, the Ventures are more prone to speed wobble whereas I don't get any with my Krux III's. And both have the same Doh Doh bushings in 'em and are tightened about the same. It was strange to find that.

well i strongly recommend that u get trucks with a flat or round kingpin cuz normal nut and bolt kingpins always get caught on the rail when u grind.

I think the overall concensus on the board is Indy, but of the ones you listed, I'd go with Thunder. I haven't skated any of the others you've listed, but I have a set of Thunders on my almost deck, and I really like 'em.

I haven't had a chance to break in my Indy's yet.

royal because they always have the coolest colours!

alexandrez
02-02-2009, 11:27 PM
for me, Destructos. you can grind miles with it and they won't "wear out". plus they are very resistant. meaning no need to get new trucks for a while. also, low kingpin.
Thunder are also very very good.
i have used Tensors and Ventures before. also good, but nothing extraordinary.
