[BallparkFrank]

I have a friend who’s getting there, and he’s been working on it for yeeeears!

tell your friend he can do it and we believe in him.

I’d have kept these running for longer but I’ve seen the light of 159s.

A lot of concrete seen against these

[Richard Skidder]

Sheer beauty @Paco Supreme !

retired thunder 151s. both pics are of the back truck. tried to break em, but I aint strong enough. was feebling on the bushing and had to call it quits.. when the gear isn't letting you do specific tricks anymore it's time for it to be done as much as you want to kill em completely

love it but why block out the logo?

Skated with @goldfishboot last weekend, and I can tell you firsthand that this homey is already well on the way to murdering yet another set of trucks.

well, Lou, you won't believe how right you were. The very night you posted this message, my Thunder 149 hollow lights were pulverized by a San Francisco city bus.

Best Thread on slap for sure!

An update on my quixotic quest to ride these indy's until they are dead. I'm now all the way through the hollow section of the axle, and working on grinding through the axle fully. At that point, not sure what will happen. Hanger is holding tough, no cracks anywhere and to be honest the grind is really great, i can even push through pretty crusty red curbs at this point.

I was planning on mounting these on a wall eventually, but now I think i might do some clear resin and make a paperweight with the truck inside...

indy should hook you up for your efforts. Masterpieces.

Looks like you took a bite out of the hanger. Insane

I’m going to submit them as a warranty as a joke when they finally break

[stupidfuckface]

Mine always break or bend before i get that far through…. Looks sick…
Worst is when they bend slightly and your wheels start coning real bad

[Candied cigarettes]

My other thunders were way more washed but i left those at the skate shop. Took these down to to the axle a while back. Kinda wish i had stuck with em

Yeah I never thought I’d make it this far but I’m committed. It’s been two years and they won’t quit

I hope they replace them with some Stage 4 151s for you to 'test' on a Huffer.

Is that a 5-0 groove or a crooked groove?

[IpathCats]

Do ventures/thunders grind down faster than independents?

I didn't spend enough time on either to know for sure, but they seemed like they were getting worn down much quicker than indys

I can't speak for Venture but all my Thunder trucks back in the day ground down way faster as my Indys nowadays.
I never was able to fully axle a Thunder, because they always broke. But that was like 10+ years ago.
