Why.......... :(
Didn't even know tensor still exists.

Why not?
Daewon Song proves it's not the equipment, it's the skater. Ride what you like.

Let's get serious here... It's tensor.
-
Sucks. But hopefully he's getting paid. One of the best switch f/s flips in the game. Dr. Z is the shit.
-
Wasn't he on venture before?
Shame to change but if its more money then good for him.

if im right it's venture>force>indy>tensor

How... ???
-
Weird fit but okay
-
nevermind the markets
-
Pretty random-forgot about Tensor, but he deserves every dollar he can get.
-
its kind of odd that he hasn't had a pro truck out in all this time.
tensor isn't my favorite but zered rips so i don't care.

With the shit Daewon does to his trucks it barely matters what kind he rides. So unless you're Daewon, Tensor is simply a shitty, shitty truck.

Only a precursor to an inevitable team switch.

i orefer plain silver trucks myself. i don't think i've skated a pair of colored trucks since i was a kid.
my point was that with his popularity, i'm surprised he hasn't had a pro truck in all this time.

I thought he meant venture is greater than force and force is greater than indy so on and so forth. Sorry, I'm regular.

either way, I'm not buying tensor or force

exactly, rodney engineered a truck that didn't turn on purpose, and daewon essentially rides no bushings....
-
I completely forgot about tensor. their trucks are just too heavy. but zered kills it no matter what!
-
Not to be on tensors side but they do manufacture the lightest truck made.Using magnesium.
Jus sayin
-
id rather ride thunders for free than get paid for tensor.
get your money though dr z. dude rips.

years ago I had Tensors, they turned to much. I must have had a fake set.

Implying people like Tensor...
-
Haha... Even their bolts are "high tech" and come with plastic inserts for increased performance.
http://tensortrucks.com/hardware/bolts/ (http://tensortrucks.com/hardware/bolts/)
They also come with a reusable air tight storage tube. Are they marketing these to people with severe OCD?...

I got a pair for free a few years back, and yes they are light but I'd say Titan Ti-lites are/were lighter, if anybody remembers those. I think they were made out of paper mache.
Regardless, a truck that doesn't turn appeals to 90% of kids just starting skating. Tensor has their niche and I appreciate them staying there.

I weighed them both in similar widths and it was basically the same.Like .01 ounces difference.

These are the tensors I'm currently rockin' right now.

My friends made fun of me when I set them up, but the plastic plate insert is revolutionary in the way that it helps you do slide tricks. With a concept devised by the Mullen himself, you can't go wrong.
-
Tensors are very under appreciated.
I posted up a used pair I had on craigslist for 500 dollars and they were snagged up in less than 3 hours. They didn't even want to negotiate the price! I would've been willing to get rid of them for at least 490, or 480.
-
$500 on trucks!??!!!
thats an 8 ball, good hooker, and nice telly yo.
-
I had a pair like 8 years ago, they did the thing where my board was crooked when riding straight. I changed the bushings ad kept trying to wear them in but gave up and sold them to some guy for $20. they were horrible shit. Remember rodney's old tensor ads where there would be a long ass paragraph of fake shit nobody care about?
-
i remember my friend edgar, this was like a 10 year old story, he had ventures and tensors and he made a hybrid called "ten-tures"
man, they were the best!!! venture hangers with tensors base, you gotta try it no joke
-
tensors were my first trucks, i never had anything against them until i got some trucks that actually turned, now i just cant ride em. i tried putting in some bones yellow bushings but they still didnt turn, tried bones blue but still they turned like shit, so next time i go to the skatepark im just gonna throw them in the middle of the park and shout scrambles so all the groms fight over them just coz theyre free

but somehow or another, skaters have managed to slide all their tricks without the help of the plastic insert in all these years....
-
i actually saw someone skating ventures where hes simply taken the plastic insert out, chatted some shit bout making them lighter even though he never made his board leave the ground

rodney mullen or daewon song still on tensor?

are you kids really this fucking stupid? clearly everyone with a truck sponsor skates indys. maybe those thunder dudes ride thunders who knows. aside from that all it means is a different and more than likely larger paycheck. dumbasses

it seems to me that Thunder, Venture, and Indy riders stay faithful to their sponsors. Pretty much everyone else rides one of those three.

i'm not surprised. thats how you keep your sponsors. fastest way to lose them(and your check) would be to rock the competitors brands.

back in the days, you could get away with it but nowadays that shit ain't really flying. theres too many eyes and too many media outlets to avoid. the last person i remember really getting away with it was koston when he was skating for royal.
i'm sure some people are still doing it but if they get caught, they'll surely get the boot. if i owned a company, i wouldn't continue to pay them when they're advertising another company. fuck that.

Just off the top of my heard I've seen Daniel Castillo skating Thunders, Filipe Ortiz skating Indys, Joey Brezinski skating Indys, Johnny Layton skating Indys, Andrew Brophy skating Indys, Ben Raybourn skating Indys and Biebel skating Ventures. All these dudes have different sponsors then what they actually ride.

yeah, every shot of Biebel where I can see his trucks he tends to be riding ventures. I don't understand why he doesn't just switch. Silver has always seemed like a broke-ass venture to me anyways. I had a pair a few years back when they were still pretty new...worst mistake.

i said "some people", how you could read that as all?
did you see all these people with your own 2 eyes as of recent? or are you pointing out ads and footage you've seen in video parts?
also keep in mind, getting free product from a company and getting an actual check from a company are not the same thing. free product is a hook up, if you're receiving a check that means you signed a contract.

well i have pretty much stuck with the main three through the years and definitely get my ocd's with my preferences, but push come to shove any of us could learn the stuff on any truck if we really needed to. I didn't have a bad time at all on some royal evolutions i had a few years ago.
a bushing switch can change your life.
-
Bushings aren't Tensor's problem though... it's the fucked up geometry and inability to carve (unless you mutilate them I guess).
-
well rodney is a bright dude and a fine engineer i'm sure, but deep down inside he is still the freestylin pioneer.
so tic tac, rock walk city for those trucks. oh well.
maybe the zered should bring back rock walks for manual things.
