Okay so the soft metal on the ace trucks takes almost no time to get use to
They’re actually really nice trucks
Compared to Indy they don’t turn as smoothly but they do carve as much but in turn for smooth they react quick like a thunder and act stable like a thunder
They feel nice for tre flips and feel type tricks but straight tricks like kick flips and heel flips take some adjusting
Overall in my opinion I like them a lot, might go back to Indy though cause idk, Indy’s feel great out the gate even when you aren’t warmed up and stretched Indy just flow but we’ll see, these ace aren’t bad at all. Definitely top 3
The ace feel like a carvy turny thunder, to me, And this is with the stock bushings which if you didn’t see in the ace trucks thread it’s a different Duro top and bottom stock they got going on
You know.. I never thought I'd say this, but I totally wholeheartedly agree with this.
I have amazing kickflips with Thunders, but I can't seem to figure them out decently with Ace's. When I do them often times I end up turning frontside.
Thanks for knowing too mongoloid, I know what I’m feeling can’t be just me even if I am considered the crazy guy on this thread and the whole message boards.
Yeah, you definitely nailed it with that assessment. I hate that I have multiple setups with different gear for different purposes. Ever since picking up the board again every little gear nuance makes a noticeable difference in every aspect of skating for me. Back in the day I could skate nearly anything interchangeably (skate trucks from lows to highs, 7.5” - 8” decks, 50mm - 56mm wheels) and there would be zero difference in my ability. Now that’s definitely not at all the case.
Haha I think it’s just something that happens as you grow with and into your passions, like I’m sure tennis players as kids didn’t care about whatever tennis gear is when they were young they just wanna play and will pick up any racket or whatever it is they call it.
I use to be the same not caring just borrowing one of many of my friends setups if I forgot my board and just skated it cause fun but I think it’s cause In the early days we all don’t have an adjusted style
we all probably in our glory days had off styles that weren’t about how to do the tricks properly and with finesse and style but just to land trick after trick and put it in our abd list to tell others
perfect fit shoes madness is in my brain too now, thanks rob !
Ahaha my bad, it really is a big deal in my opinion to just have the right fit snug shoes
Not snug cramping your toes but close, I feel having a comfy snug shoe for skating is like having snug gloves for doing precise things with your hands
You have greater control and feel for things when it’s snug compared to a sorta loose roomy toe shoe that gives you that off feeling and slip of the flick moment that embarrasses you at the skatePark in a game of skate against some groms sloppy no pop kickflip and you think to yourself how did you mess up on a kickfliP
On a good note these ace classic 44 take some getting use to but damn they are great trucks, gonna keep skating them
Sorry indy, maybe next setup
