Got my 159 inverteds today. Nice looking truck not As raw looking as Lebowski had us believe with the “craters”.
Usually skate that standard bbs 8.5 you can find with frog or alltimers, fullish nose and a bit of a tapered tail, 32 or a tad longer and 14.5 wb paired with Indy 159 forged (?) hollows. But my next board up is a limo 8.5 with 14.38 wb a little more mellow concave and pretty pointy on both ends.
Wanted a lower truck because I’ve been getting some ghost pop on my indys. Got the inverted because I’ve always wanted some and this will always be a novelty truck for me, can’t see myself straying from Indy too long.
I didn’t touch the kingpin before skating and Haven’t grinded anything yet, board felt lighter, pop was easy to figure out got some quick manuals pretty easily. Turn was carvey but not exactly surfy, kind of twitchy at a certain speed when I was going downhill, will be interesting when I pump transition. Overall felt great, nothing made me question the quality. But yeah will report back after a park session
Let’s see if I can get these pics to post
