Poll: What trucks are you currently riding?
« on: May 18, 2023, 06:05:35 AM »
I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm curious what people are riding in the current moment. I wanted to be more specific than just "what brand are you riding". I could have been even more granular and listed sizes too, but the poll would've been gigantic (more so than it already is) at that point. Leave your truck/size in the comments if you feel so inclined.

Bone stock AF-1 44s. The bushings are getting blown out, which is a bummer because that never happened with my classics. I will probably buy some new ones soon.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

149 Indy titaniums, hard black indy cylinder bushings

been going back and forth with cast/forged plates depending on steepness of kicks.

Will occasionally setup my AF1 55's with a 1/16th riser depending on the steepness of the kicks.

Films on my main “trick” setup, ace classics on my east coast Philly-inspired board with big chunky wheels for when I want to go fast and barge shit

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

For the first time in a long time the answer isn't Venture Lo 5.2s

On a set of the new Chandler Burton V Hollows 5.2s now

Although I definitely selected V-lights because Venture truck names are confusing as shit

Currently AF-1 Hollows 55, but will most likely get back to Thunder teams once this deck is done. Aces are a lot of fun, but I  skate much better on Thunders for some reason.

Ace af1 44 low with ace hard bushings my favourite truck. They make flips so easy and pop way better than normal af1‘s.

Indy standard with 92a aftermarket conical bushings and khiro soft pivot cups. Keep the kingpin nut thumb tight than a touch more with a wrench to keep it secure.

AF1 66 with hard bushings.  They carve great and have minimal wheelbite.  For me it's weird because I couldn't even ride Ace with stock bushings, it was too much wheelbite.

Anybody thinking of skating Ace but not hyped on the instability should give this a try!

Venture cast hollows. The ted barrow. Really enjoy the trucks. Prob skate Royal after these. Especially if they stop making the cast hollows.

This is a pretty common experience.

Indy 149 Ti, stock bushings with kingpin nuts flush (ish). Have to say I’m enjoying them after coming from Thunder 148’s for a few years.Hit that nice turn/push stability sweet spot.

Jumped around between Venture, Ace, Indy, and Film over the past few years (basically in that order).  Pros and cons to every one obviously but I feel like Indys are the most practical overall…

On my most recent setup I threw on some Venture 5.2 lows I had laying around and put in the loose truck conversion kit (obviously you could cut down the bushings yourself but I’m lazy and also like the green bushings).  Anyway, I’m loving the Ventures.  They turn pretty decent with the lower bushings.  I mostly skate curbs and ledges and I kind of enjoy doing slappy variations on trucks that are atypical for that style of skating.  Also the pinch on crooked grinds is incredible and the older east-coast late 90’s aesthetic is something I’m into.  Gonna skate these for a few more decks at least and see where I’m at.

Right now i am on Royal 5.25 low, coz the tail of my current deck felt quite steep. But usually i am on Thunder 147 and sometimes on Royal 139 raw. My rain set up is with Film 5.25.
