I bought a pair of Royals on SW for like 5 bucks per truck, which felt like a weird sale glitch or something but it was a sweet deal.? They're a little heavy, and the bushings aren't that great but if you can get em for cheap they're an okay, fairly standard truck.
Those were the og Evo's. Like from the late 90s, I bought a pair. They've been redesigned recently, and they're not bad. Chinese aluminum, whatever, they turn and grind like everything else.
I've heard nothing but good things about the new ones and read nothing but really good reviews. I've been wanting to try a pair but haven't gotten around it..
yeah except most of the team doesn't even ride em... which says a lot...
I've seen people say this alot but.. who are you referring to? Every team riders' board I've seen has had Royal trucks on it.? Jerry rides them.. Cory rides them, Eldridge, Carrol obviously, Mike Mo, Vincent Alvarez, Daryl Angel and Daniel Espinoza all ride them in the footage I've seen. Who isn't?
I could see how people would shit on them when they had the shitty baseplates that cracked but they seem fine now.
I think he's referring to an ad or some photo printed in a mag where a rider was clearly skating indy's. I want to say it was either Cory or Jerry.
Definitely Jerry barely rides royals, the latest chocolate post I saw he was riding Marc Johnson thunder lights. I mean that's his hero and royals are actually kinda trash. I have the remastered version/the latest ones and they're alright
Same height as thunders, helps get a straight quick pop and flip tricks are pretty easy with them but board feel turning wise they suck, they're trucks felt like made just for doing tricks not really having an overall good feel of your skateboard like Indys or thunders when you just wanna cruise and turn and just skate around, they lack board feel
Cory rides thunders someone's too, Daryl use to usually ride Indys but I think he's adjusted to royals seeing he had them on the hang out with jenkem video, Jose definitely rode Indys half the time too. Idk about anyone else
