Thanks.
Weird how you approached sharing this, but thanks.
…and just an hour or so later after the initial ask…suspect…
Its obvious he was baiting lol
I just dont understand the weird dickhead "im not reading/searching" angle haha
...what you think of the new trucks and whats so special about them because i dont quite understand the appeal of a reissue truck or how they perform different from stage 11.
The joys of people talking online about skateboards, combined with a solid dose of sarcasm, irony and "old guy bitterness" which I definitely have, so I guess I go easy on here compared to how scathing I can be in person, but after all that, I must say that I am thankful for you putting up the information, as no one had really seen or heard anything like that before, including some shop guys like me, but I don't get out much any more either, so to speak.
I guess people could laugh it off and carry on, or be butthurt and sulk - both of which I have definitely seen from any number of people on here, but also sometimes just text cannot convey anything other than the words people read in their own head, so who knows how someone types or how someone else interprets what is being said.
Some days I get on here, read what is going on and close the browser without typing a single reply, but other times I seem like I just can't stop and probably say way too much, like this reply. Either way, I find that this is a good place for me to come and share stuff, whatever the thing may be, as well as get info from others that I find interesting.
As to how these trucks could or would perform, I have never ridden anything older than Stage 5 (that I can recall) but I have older and newer 215s and an assortment of Ace trucks, so I can imagine that they would perform in a similar way to those, even though I personally am quite happy with the standard Stage 11 trucks, more than any other older stages or frankenstein versions of whatever else I have set up just to see what works and what doesn't over the years.
Of course, if someone were to offer me a set, I would not hesitate to try them and see what all the fuss is about, but I wouldn't go seeking them out to try to be "the first guy on the block" to get a set, if that makes sense.
As I had said before, the evolution of skateboard parts, from humble beginnings to technological wonders, is an interesting journey, but I am happy finding something that works for me, that is readily available and that doesn't need a whole lot of struggles just to make it work how I need it to, hence the current Stage 11 are just great and do everything I need them to right from the first session to the last.
