Looking like I'm a vhollow for life now?
Unless I can make my trucks like 5 full turns looser. That would be the balls.
I do not believe this is better. It's gotta be cheaper. That's usually why a industry wide gimmick happens.
Who needs an inverted kingpin on a Venture high?
Little kids who can't turn I hope. The only good truck they can skate with out me modding to death is ace.
I hope so frickin bad that normal kingpins are still around in 10 years.
I want inverted king pins...on ventures...Im a grown man and can turn really well.
Other than having to keep up with another tool, what are the downsides you see to them? They don't change anything about the truck just less room to hang up on smiths.
I just hope that regs raws are still available too. I definitely want the kids on awake but it's looking like they preference Ace.
That's fine it makes sense.
Thankfully there will always be "normal" or "regular kingpin" trucks on the market, no matter what weird and wonderful new things people come out with, same as decks being carbon, composite or whatever other thing people make them from, or cored / hollow wheels too. People might try them but they always come back to the simple standard that has worked and has less issues overall.
The number one thing I have always done for kids with new trucks of any brand who cannot turn is cut the top bushing down a mm or two depending on the size / weight of the kid and that allows the truck to still do what it is supposed to at the same geometry with the nut being in the same place, just making them about two to four threads less, which is perfect for kids, no cost, easy solution.
I do know lots that swap the bushings straight out for Bones soft, but that is another story.
