I never said Thunders weren't good for transition,
You said “designed a strictly for street skating.” The dudes that designed Thunder geometry did not have strictly street in mind, rather a quick initial turn.
Ok homie. take "strictly" (and your
a, I'm guessing that's a typo) out of the sentence if it makes you feel better. Don't really see how it's worth your post or my response. Why try to create a disagreement out of nothing? I'm not here to argue.
They are designed to excel at street skating and I already explained their advantages in that regard well in this thread. Their geometry reflects that.
I've never bent an axle of a set of Thunders and I usually grind down to the axle. Not sure how someone would bend their axle downward like that anyway unless their board got ran over upside down.
Again thunders
are fine for transition skating, just said I prefer Aces when skating vert. I don't see an advantage to "quick turns" on vert but I do enjoy deep, surfy carves on vert.
I'd say if you're a strictly thunder or strictly Indy skater (and strictly
etc) you'd do yourself a favor by trying other trucks in different situations. I enjoy feeling their distinct differences; make me skate differently, try different stuff. The only person forcing you into truck monogamy is yourself.
