Beef with Thunders
« on: September 09, 2010, 10:35:06 AM »
So I just got a new pair of thunders about a 2 weeks ago and they are fucking garbage. My last pair were the best trucks ive ever
had but these ones are fucking a joke. They are 147 hi and feel way lower, there not even the same shape as my last pair of the exact same truck, they wont break in at all. Im sick and fucking tired of falling on my way to work because my shitty fucking trucks wont turn. Somewhere along the line DLX dropped the ball on product qaulity and Im pissed, there shitty fucking skateboards break like twigs, to the point that i cant ride them anymore. Now this changing thunders bullshit, all i have to say is fuck you DLX , you fucking betrayed me and you can fucking suck it.

Im sitting here at work with a broken finger from falling on it because of my garbage thunders. Ive been buying DLX for years now and those fucking corner cutting assholes will never get another dime out of my pocket.

Dont fuck with a good thing, fucking assholes.

Not like DLX is the only manufacturer of skateboarding products. They aren't the only product available to buy, just buy different companies.

Been riding thunder 147 hi's for the last two years. Favorite trucks thus far. Only complaint is that the original bushings mush out after a few months, but it's my own fault for not getting bones bushings in the first place.

I dont fucking care about your guys' trucks. My gripe is that they cant make them exactly the same every time.

LIES! Haha.
But seriously, I've never owned a pair of Thunder trucks, but what I don't like about them is that they don't make 147 Lows. Well, they do, but it's so hard to find them that I have yet to find a site that has them in stock.
or maybe its because your fist has to first be purified in the waters of lake minnetonka before it can touch dylons.

I checked their site and it looks like they only make lows in 145 now.

Makes sense, I haven't seen any in so long. That's so ridiculous though. They're only limiting themselves in sales. Making things in all sizes and heights makes for maximum sale potential, for people of all truck preferences.

I use Indy right now. Best truck ever, but I still wanna try Thunder for the fuck of it, so that's good.

I think DLX occasionally change the shapes and geometry of the trucks, but they don't announce the changes like Indy. That said the new pair of 149s I'm skating right now are amazing and way better than the 147 highs I had previously.

149s have always been a different geometry than the 147s.  They were made to be more of a mid than a high because it just happened to work out that way.

I wish I could afford to just throw them to the wind. I have to live with them till I can afford trucks again, which could be a while.

Then why do tons of pros and ams ride them?  Some even ride for other companies and still skate them.

Because people are followers, and they don't have to worry about trucks breaking, because they get them for free. The last three sets of trucks i have broke. 2 sets of indys and 1 set of thunders. Never broke a set of ventures.

why?  Because i like turning insted of tilting?  Ventures are fine if you ride tight trucks, but if you ride em loose they suck.  Or maybe im just used to indys since ive been riding them since the mid 90s

Damn, what'd you break on them?  Ironically the only trucks I've broken were a set of Ventures cracking right through the hangar.  By the way Independent will replace any broken truck that's not ground down to the axle for free.

...just reverted to ventures (5.2 lows) from 147 highs w/bones bushings. they were cool and all, just didn't like that "ridin' high" feeling.
note: for some reason, bones bushings fit in 5.0's but not 5.2's...
