Zooming in needs to stop. So many good tricks ruined by the fact the camera only shows shins, feet, and board.

All skateboard trucks are the same.

Just metal and urethane.

Everyone has just convinced themselves that they are different somehow.

Some silicone impregnated according to tracker adsback in the early 90s

i could see the argument in that they're all metal so the grinds will be similar

but the different shapes/geoemtry making for different turning ability doesn't make a difference for you?  i feel like there's a huge difference between venture and ace in terms of pop timing and turning ability

however to concede to your point, any skater with a reasonable floor skill level will be able to do their tricks on every truck company

Libtech skateboards needs a comeback

nike should make a new sick shoe that everyone likes but name it the CHOAD so everyone has to say and type that word as much as "blazer" or "dunk" or "janoski"

The 1st run of Nike skate late 90's had the Air Choad.

Jake Hayes keeps appearing on my TikTok feed with corny engagement bait text plastered over his clips and it might be worse than I Wanna Be A Baker.

I don’t think this is unpopular but jake hayes is mid at best and his sponsor lineup does not match up with his skating ability. Him on deathwish is nothing less than absurd

No i chose that on purpose given its rich, ridiculous and comedic history in skateboarding. also because naming a shoe the choad in the first place is fucking insane.

Not overthinking, stating that I couldn't disagree more with you.
Urethane is urethane, so according to your logic some price point OJ are the same as F4.

DM'ing Tony like a man about his setup he landed the first 9 on would be one of the most SLAP things a person could do.

I can't comment on how trucks grind, but all of mine turn differently. ACE, Indy, Venture, and Thunder. I could step on one of my setups blindfolded, push around, and tell you what I'm riding. Obviously they all work and I can get used to anything with time. But they aren't identical IMHO. That's like saying all car handle the same lol

[j....soy.....]

it's just marketing...they all turn the same.

Yea I was just kidding. If you check my post history you will see hundreds of posts in the shoes and gear section discussing how the smallest differences between trucks make things feel totally different.

This guy gets it.

Geometry = marketing scheme

We all need to open our minds and transcend the big truck industry lies.
