I need smooth grinds perpetually, I need to switch up my trucks at least 4 times a year instead of waiting 4 years to switch them. less energy needed for speed if my trucks are new and grinding smooth. Invest in your trucks, new trucks always grind better, don't wait. Support the local skate shop that truly supports you.

Clips or it didn't happen. You talk a lot about the things you've done but talk is cheap. Go post in post yourself skating. Your bragging about the stuff you've done is unimpressive

I imagine what you're skate videos are like with that old school set up you got. I'm yawning just thinking about it lol you wish you could pressure me. you want control over others while you have none over yourself. Who cares, deep face technology will make it so the dude that signed your board is actually a double that cant skate but paid for the pro skate life. I am never submitting any content, you will never have the rights.

I had a pair of thunder hollow lows, they grinding down too quick in my opinion, I guess they are great but get 4 at a time. Ventures are great if you haven't tried them. Krux are a bit heavy but grind smooth for long, with dlk. indy's you already know are great.

First axle starting to show on these indys, been grinding them for only 3 months. Is this a normal amount of time before I wear my trucks down to this level, or do European curbs really suck this bad?

I did skate them a lot in those 3 months, I try to skate 6/7 days a week so a destroyed setup is kinda expected after some time. Got a new set of trucks on ice already for the inevitable moment when these are gonna break, but they still have lots of life left.

(I don't know how to post images)
I'm currently skating a Silver 139mm M-Hollow Leeper 8.0
Only the kingpin is hollow. The kingpin clearance isn't the best after some weardown and I actually grind the kingpin often if the wheels aren't fully locked in (sometimes my 5050s go back truck heelside and front truck kinda in the middle between heelside and toeside), and that caused the front kingpin hole to close (from grinding?!) which is pretty funny. The nut got all trashed too. I couldn't find the height of them at silver website but was wondering if is there anyway to make up for more kingpin clearance on them since besides that and the pivot cups breaking (already swapped for new ones) it's still pretty decent.
I'm from Brazil and a new set of Indy trucks are like 600 where the minimum wage is 1100

you have to upload to somewhere like imgur, copy the exact url of the photo located to the exact file extention (i.e. something like imgur.com/a3D5Hwg3G/backtail.jpg)

then click the little mona lisa thing underneath the B (it says "insert image" on hover")

this will create

and will position your cursor perfectly in between those. Paste your image URL there and voila you have image linked

Set these up in january. Not just pinchy grinds but those are definitely the biggest contributors. Should last a few more boards.

That's pornography. Looking like a frickin old ass gullwing now. Boingggggg

Thought my Indys were almost done, but this thread makes me hopeful that I'm able to get some more sessions out of them. The kingpin and the bolt are wearing down really hard, till the point where my bushings are squeezed together but I'm gonna ride 'em until they break.

Yeah, or learn backside (or frontside) grinds, haha. The other side of the truck is relatively untouched.

i don’t find evidence that you can dress yourself (in brand-name shit) particularly impressive, but i do take pleasure in showing the evidence that you’ve put in time and dedication on some concrete.
