Yeah, I find they make fliping easier, for grinding they feel like no other to me..

also for nose/tail slides coz of the little like plastic bit on it makes it more smoother than metal on metal

That bit of plastic does nothing

Sorry but it just don't, rest of the truck is the beans though .

yep



i've snapped 4 venture kingpins

Previously i had a set of Independents they were a nice grind but the bushings split soo easily, also they were a tad high for my liking. Currently have some thunder lows, and i have to say i really like them no problems atall and bushings seem to agree with me.

thats a bad thing i found bout venture the pin always snapped on me ever on a grind or a big drop but i always bought them coz they were cheap

I have broken hangers on Venture and Thunder. For the past 4 years I have been using Royal OG low. The bushings are great, and they are very strong.

always wanted to try a set of royals been told there great

A lot of people say they suck. I myself have been skating for 18 yrs and they are some of the best trucks I have ever used! The bushings dont need replacing, and they feel "broken in" after 5 minutes of riding.

I ride tensors, always have! I just bought some new lo's from skatewarehouse for £26.. bargain!

Nice buy there.

Most people near where i live ride Venture, good quality standard trucks.

Loads of People where I live ride Destructos, Normally I don't use them but They are Pretty good, Really Good Turning and Not bad for Grinding.

Now I'll need some new trucks soon What other Brand apart from Destructos are good?

Royal O G Lows or Independent.

read through the 4 pages that make up this thread?

So why do you get riding them?

The reason i've snapped four is cause i ride my trucks tight which causes more strain on the kingpin but now i have them looser.
I've had tensors and didn't like them and the same with indy.....Ventures have always felt right for me.

uhhhhh yeah....i ate a big red candle...

Hmmn it seems i got outbid on some ventures i wanted and some indy's......anyone help me find some good cheap ones cause now im kinda pissed off i get outbid on ebay at the very last second....

Venture lows
View point skate store
£28

sorted.

Ditto, but i paid £30 because he lowered the price a few days after i bought them...

ive had;
posin trucks (shite as hell)
voltage (rusted)
ventures (stiff as hell)
these were all second hand so unfare so i just bought my self some raw indys for £27 on ebay

Tensors and Grind Kings i think are best. I've never like ventures as i think they're too heavy and dont feel right.

I've had a couple of pairs of ventures and they've been really nice and not that heavy at all.

Although I do prefer Independants.
