Hey guys its been a minute since my truck madness has kicked in (deck madness still in full effect however), so I wanted to know a couple things.
First off can someone give me a quick rundown on destructos? What do they do well and not so well? Any major differences between the d1/d2 I need to be aware of? I vaguely recall hearing that one of them has the weird in-between axle sizes ala tensor tens (8.125 rather than 8.25 etc) but I could be wrong on that. D2 mids are what I'm looking at right now but I figured I'd consult the experts before I pull the trigger.
This is all brought about because I picked up a pair of barely used Fury 8.25's for a song and dance a while back and just got around to skating them recently and I really, really like them. It's hard to really nail down their character but theyre light like a thunder with a bit of a controlled insanity to their turn like aces. That got me into the line of thinking of "are there other good trucks that I'm missing out on just because they don't have the market saturation or brand loyalty of the big guys?" which has me curious about Destructos now.
Also if anyone has or knows where I can get a pair of Fury evo 2 8.25 or 8.5 (I'm not even sure if they made 8.5s) please let me know, I'd love to get a few more pairs since they seem to have gone dark since early last year and there doesnt seem to be much (if any) deadstock floating around.
Hello
I’m back from the Bmx life, sorry guys.
Anyways destructos I wouldn’t waste time with unless your really down to try
They didn’t have any special turn feel or pop feel
They just felt like your run of the mill mid 2000’s truck that had stiff as butts bushings that need to be broken in to finally turn but it’s gonna take a lot
I rode them stock without the small top washer and they turned ok, like if you put medium hard cylinder bushing in indys
Pop was nothing to write home about, just popped okay. Not awkward like old tensor 10’s or a venture low, sorta like a thunder pop mixed with Indy
But not good, just okay.
Overall my run with the destructo d1 mid/standard id say they were not worth it if you compare them to ace, Indy, thunder and even venture high. Heck even theeves are better I would say
Ill throw in another heck, royals are probably at the same level or better
I might be hating but yah, not worth the price. If they were like $10 cheaper than the big 3 then maybe they’re worth it
If they changed their bushing formula and aluminum grade they could have a decent truck, keep the signature geo because it’s who they are but for now until they make some revisions idk how certain riders are doing destructo
