Made in USA/Europe trucks?

[antarctica]

Pardon if this is a redundant question but are there still any trucks companies that make their in the US? I know Lurpivs original run was made in Sweden but apparently they've moved into where ace gets theirs made for the upcoming drop. Im not some hippy or crazy patriot but I would prefer to skate trucks made in the US to be frank

Tracker and Gullwing?

I dunno, but S&M Bikes are fully made in the USA against all odds, and they're the sickest bikes.  Partly subsidized by FIT bikes being made in China though, but Chris Moeller would know what it'd take to make trucks in the states if you wanna start a brand.

Iron Trucks (HLC Distributions own brand) are/were made somewhere in Europe last time I checked, but they are a budget truck and the quality control reflects this. Okay for the price but definitely a step down from the bigger manufacturers.

Yeah love em. Moeller is a legend. I love the mid 90s dirtbikes, just a perfect bmx. I’ve got a chrome 24 Dirtbike for cruising, such a clean bike.


Their commitment to making their own stuff is so sick and show it’s possible if you’re willing to work on something you believe in and know your shit. Makes me think that more skate companies should press their own boards instead of just being endless vanity projects.

Heard rather good things about those new trucks by people who have been testing them for months. They seem to turn between Ace and Indys. I don't know what you can buy for less than 35€ a pair in Europe, but if your budget is tight or if you want to build a second complete for transition or cruise it could be a good cost-effective and environment-friendly option.

The last set of Tracker Axis trucks I bought were USA.  Too bad I cracked the cast baseplate just doing flatland stuff.  Tracker doesn't seem interested in forging baseplates, so I'm not buying from them anymore.

I emailed Venture last week and the guy said their stuff is now made in Mexico, which to me is still better than China for various reasons, but not ideal.

I still have a pair of Indy stage 8s (purchased new in '98) on one board that have held up after all these years.  I'm watching Ebay for more of those.

What? So thunders and ventures are made in Mexico as of early 2023?
Guess it makes sense, after spitfires and bbs…..
