you rule. stick with indys, they are the only real truck company. Best turning, best grinding. period.

to everyone who DOESNT skate indys for dumb reasons like "WAH, theyre tooo heavy!", youre a pudwhacker. get your head checked.

i said nothing about their unfortunate turn to making tacky pro colorways, im talking about quality.

they went for 25 years without making a mistake (except stopping production of stage 8s) so we can cut them some slack for making a dumb color.

they've made a few boo-boos in the past and present, but they make the best truck around.

ventures are for babys who are afraid to skate fast

the iron monkey · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:38:38 PM »

what the fuck have trucks got to do wtih how fast you skate?

this whole debate is so stupid, the only difference between the 3 main truck companys products is image.

roulette · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:43:11 PM »

really?

the iron monkey · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:45:30 PM »

well no, maybe weight and height too.

but i would say 95% of sales are made based on image.

and all this shit about turning, grinding and speed is ridiculous.

roulette · « **Reply #15 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:47:37 PM »

i'm pretty sure indys are higher, which makes turning smoother at higher speeds, and the axle doesnt slip, and they last significantly longer, do you skateboard?

how much higher are they?

less than 10mm? does wheel size have any effect? risers?

roulette · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:53:38 PM »

if you are asking about risers then you probobly dont skate very much making your facts invalid

isaac · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2006, 02:54:41 PM »

all three truck have different turning geomitry. i'm sure someone knows more than i do but from what i understand it has something to do with hight of the truck and the angle of the kingpin.

regardless, Indys turn the best. especially with Bones bushings and Spitfires.

hah. they turn better with spitfires? idiot.

don't you work or pretend to work for deluxe?

obviously all trucks turn slightly differently but how does one turn "better" than another? they all turn don't they?

all image.

sleeeping · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2006, 03:00:58 PM »

Thunders are set in 1/4 of a inch so it shortens your wheelbase, hence making them turn quicker. the thunder hi's are the same height as indys and venture hi's.

Venture's and indys have a very similar turning radius but they still fell different.
It's preference for sure but those 3 are the best and any of them are fine. krux too.
whatever works for you i guess.

Try skating Grind Kings and then say its all marketing.

P.S. I love indys, however one day I ollied into a 5050 on a curb and broke both my kingpins on one go. It was the most bizare thing that I have experienced since I started skating.
