I recall duffy saying he could only use ventures haha

[DeerTay]

Kalis and Dyrdek we're the only reason I bought a pair the first go around.

[pile]

why?

[brent]

i wonder if these new orions will actually grind this time

[Beeda Weeda]

i had these, never understood the hate, some of the best trucks i have ever owned.

[Fongstarr.]

Orion had a dope team though. Reemo, Kevin Taylor, that one dude that was on Expedition. Still, why in the hell do people want to make a truck company when people only buy like 3 kinds (Indys, Ventures, Thunder).

they really weren't that bad, skaters talk more shit about trucks than anything else.

Don't forget them kids.
And not all shop owners skate. Lucky for brands like this.
Though I'm saying this with out testing the trucks but it doesn't Indy on them so I might as well say it.

I used to get them from the swedish distro, always traded them for indys

Haha, first thing I thought of... he was pretty clear about his Venture love in that interview thingy you're talking about.

My first "real" pair of trucks. Spent my first paycheck on them in a closing sporting goods shop (Team Sportia Sweden) which has been there for ever. Within a couple of months the kingpin broke. They grinded quite crappy and the metal came of crazy fast. Still I was stoked as hell. My question is: do we really need another truck brand? Venture, thunder and indy is enough as it is. Force, ACE and god aweful Theeve, guh...

[Inbred Jed]

I think Onion trucks are a good idea. We are running out of natural resources and strip mining the world enough as it is. I would like to see more skateboard products made from renewable resources.

I only had one pair and they were pretty bad....bushings were terrible, no turning radius, etc.

[myrrh]

I rode some back in the day. I told myself "Tom Penny uses them" and just got used to them because my love for anything Penny.
That only lasted a a short while though, and I realized they were shitty.
Wonder if the new ones are any different.

[brent]

and they didn't fucking grind

i watted until the 5th read-through. you win.

also, yeah.. why orions when you've got indys? same as bones bearings for me, or black magic grip.. i'm all for different brands/competition to keep prices down, but it's hard to want to pick up the alternative when the standard is such a go-to.

[pica]

the only baseplates that broke faster than indys...

[Omamori]

Is there not enough truck brands?

[IskateBaker]

Wow Decenzo's on, thats weird, and also Clint peterson

money talks, so much for a "venture lifer"

[sixpackoftablets]

cool - some new internet trucks.

[pica]

as long as i love the term "internet trucks" i'm glad there was no internet when i bought my first set of orions...
somehow everyone around me was into "titan trucks" back then.

[aojiru]

Got fooled twice before (back when Penny, Koston, Kalis, Kareem, etc were on and again when the "ultimate" came out) never again.  Didn't turn, didn't grind; lose money!

Is that a typo or did someone really type Onion trucks?

[duffmanshredder]

I think this belongs in the Skateboard Company Graveyard thread.

I have lost a little respect for duffy

[nylin]

I bought a pair of these at a yard sale like 10 years ago.

[PatrickSkateman]

I remember those trucks being ridiculously light.
