Damn those actually don’t look too bad other than the Walmart-truck looking bushing seat. I wonder if tensor could successful rebrand themselves as a legitimate truck option. Those trucks could be God’s gift to skateboarding and no one would care because of Tensors image as a “kid” brand
I doubt it because I mean they have Daewon, Rodney and zered Bassett legitimately skating them, as well as redesigning them into amazing trucks and still nobody cares and only associates tensor as lows with slider plates that don’t turn. But it’s cool if they are good enough for zered they will do just fine for me and it’s ncie to try something new. As much as I joke I would really legitimately be interested to hear Robs take on them and I have this discount code I’m willing to buy you a set rob and ship them to you for a review. Let me know.
Haha would you really?
I talked to the designer and got a prototype some months ago, They looked about the same as the regs but taller and a bit better turning
The prototypes I had still ran the old baseplate they used for the regs too, it was the reg hangar but hollow and magnesium and 55mm tall rather than 52mm like the usual, in all honesty I tried them and the turn was basic.
Nothing special feeling but thy did turn and respond like an okay truck should but they really lacked something to stick out in turning
They performed okay, they weren’t bad but they weren’t that good where you should totally try or buy a pair. If you guys want pics let me know, I let my buddy who skates better than me skate them since he likes taller trucks and he said the same, they were basic feeling. They did grind good though thanks to the light weight soft magnesium
I’m really hooked on my mini logos at the moment like johnny was, the 8.38 are so stable but turn nice and respond so well. Mininlogos really are nice trucks, everyone has their preferences and all I can say to you guys is, if you like street skating and want something like a thunder but smoother deeper turning not just fast, and great response, mini logo is a good try
I recommend though if you skate 8 and up get the 8.38, the stability really brings out more of the trucks features
They remind me a lot of the old lower thunder 149er but lighter too, almost forgot to mention that. They’re really light for a solid cast truck even at 8.38, doesn’t take much effort to pop and flip around
And I keep them stock. The bones work okay too but they’re more stable with the stock bushings which I’m sure are just a barrel non core bones medium
