Ace Trucks AF1 Review - Skateboard Gear Review 

A couple things I forgot to mention: - AF1s are around $65 depending which model/colorway, so every other truck brand beats AF1s in cost - Grind lock in felt fine, and at no point did I feel like I was going to stick and slip out of my grind This review did come out a little faster than I wanted as I haven't had much time to skate due to work and burnout, but I wanted to give you guys this review. I also feel like the AF1s are broken in enough to have an honest opinion about them.

Homie I been skating for 25 years and this is by far the most thorough truck review of all times. Thanks for the good work

you are so well spoken and looks like you are really comfortable on camera! also one of the best and most well-made review on skate trucks, but also in everything i have seen! to see that you only had a little over a thousand was a shock. i have only just met you but damnn you are good keep going!!

Thank you for this review it was very in depth and covered some topics that I hadn't seen in other vids. Much love, keep killing it dude!!

The scientific approach to analyzing the physics of the trucks and how they skate are the type of videos I am looking for, great job keep it up!

I love the unusual deck shapes you skate man, great vids too keep it up!

I learned a lot of good info with lots of substance, and I got a good laugh. Thanks for the great vid.

I've been riding ACE since they came out in 2007, love the new AF1, thank you for your fun and honest review. I also agree the coping eater graphic needs to come back.

Really nice video bro, very detailed! Thx, getting my ACE AF1 44 ASAP.

really nice in depth video man just bought these today

Great video and thanks for clearing up the information at the start

bro that ending sequence was everything, so good!!

Thank you so much for this review! Just got a pair of af1 hollows

Great review man!

Haha such a good video! This channel is super sick! Keep up the good work

Damn, you're coldhearted bro.

Amazing video, informative and funny.

Thanks for the review bro. Gonna snatch up some 77s.

Your reviewed came as fast as I wish 😀.

Thanks for the review. The turn diagram made me reconsider the AF1s. I enjoyed the sudden turning of classics. Would you be making diagrams for the big 4 trucks?

i felt that break up seven with indy’s😥 just got a pair of AF1’s for my cruiser and definitely getting a pair for my street board

Great analysis. I enjoyed the breakup too

underrated and very informative content, needs more views

Best AF1 review so far ❤️

You got sick style when you skate, man. Review was good too

I heard the bushings on the AF1 were both the harder kind and the classic models used the softer bushing near the base... ? I have a classic 44 but am definitely thinking about picking up a set of AF1s. Cheers.

great review :)

I wasn’t expecting to cry at the end. 😭

I wish Ace made replacement bushings of their own make that are a bit harder than what the stock ones are. Being 210lbs those stock bushings are crazy soft. I’ve had to jerry rig with some harder Indie bushings and some Bones Hardcore washers to try and keep geometry while having more stable bushings. Edit. Just went to their own shop and saw that they are selling ’Hard Bushings’. Top and bottom both 94A. Is that a new thing? Can’t find any for sale here in Europe though. Edit2. I’ve gotten the Hard replacement bushings and they have made the truck skateable for me because previously I couldn’t ride them because I’d be in wheel bite town if I misplaced my weight just a little. The Hards are great for me. However I don’t feel like there is that much of a difference between a standard Indie and the AF1s.

Hahaha the ending 😂👍🏻🔥

Totally agree I moved on From my independent trucks to love the af1 for all around skating but for technical skating I use my thunders too just easier to do tech stuff with them

Well done 👍

What deck are you riding there? It looks like a really great shape to skate on

I am running a krux 96a bottom bushing and a bones 96a bottom bushing up top. Great combination for heavier dudes. Doesnt seem to wack the geometry out either. The krux bushings are taller like stock ace bushings.

i just moved from indy 159s to 169 titaniums, i always change stock bushings since the 80s. do you think its worth changing the pivot cup to this one? and is it a compromise for turn quality for longevity? and off topic is real denim worth the cost? also that axle rethreader would be very useful if you were to mess the axles up with the nut on the axle when it would be near impossible to get a normal tap set on as you wouldnt be able to get your wheels off

In your opinion, high or low concave will be better with af1?

great video

What's the best all terrain truck; for skating street and transition

which Thunder’s were you using in the pop height test?

The stability combined with turnability is why I love ACE trucks. But yeah, the classic bushings popping out is annoying as hell.

Really love your review. I bought the AF1 44’s. But then I saw how sharp the 33’s look now as af1... the old 33’s looked too tall and the middle “the triangle” that goes into the pivot cup; was way too wide. The new 33’s are more narrow and clean and thin... proportional to the hanger: both 33’s and 44’s are my all timers

Haha Epic ending!!!

just picked the AF1 up today

wish ace made a lightened version with a hollow axle and kingpin.

Board side bushing road side bushing cool video 🤙

Honestly, i had both the AF1’s and the classics in front of me. I still chose the classics because of the tighter axle to axle length and the softer metal. logically speaking, wouldn’t the softer metal on the classics grind smoother than the denser metal on the AF1’s?

Can u switch out ace bushings to Indy bushings?

softer bottom bushing and harder top bushing? interesting. i typically go for the other way around

you mainly skate thunder so id assume your more comfortable ollieing higher with em?

Hey broh, can you make bs/fs slappy grind tutorial? TY

Interesting deck, anyone know what it is? Nice review! Drawing, very helpful too

are the bones bushings compatible with these bad boys?!?!

good review but the kingpin threads showing is normal for anyone over 205 . im 227 using thunders 100a bushings and still need to get at least 3 threads down

Would it be too foolish to swap the bushings for a set of bones bushings? Would it mess up the geometry/functionality/pivot cup? I like that you don't have to use whashers with them.

Do the hollows please ^^!

So are they taller or shorter than independent???

I love ur profile pic 😆

Tight bro I skate union city every week

Fuckin rad video!

16:14 ace makes a 7.0 inch axle which is basically a 6.9 in axle

I've definitely felt more pop out of ace's than other trucks, but it might be because I'm taller? I'm not sure

AS FAR AS POP GOES. IT IS NOT THE HEIGHT OF THE ACE TRUCK PER SAY COMPARED TO INDY.......IT IS THE SHORTER WHEEL BASE. THE WEIGHT OF THE ACE IS MOVED CLOSER TO THE LEVER/FULCRUM POINT GIVING THE APPEARANCE OR FEELING OF A LIGHTER TRUCK. AS A RESULT THE NOSE GETS UP FASTER'/TAIL HITS QUICKER.

This video is Shalom af. Respect

Af1 is alot of small quality of life changes but the changes don't necessarily meet the expectations of the cost increase. Talking about a 50% increase in cost.

You forgot to check the wheelbase the wheelbase changes from truck the truck the original aces made the wheelbase shorter not sure about the new ones

ace have a shorter wb than indys, only use aces on old schools decks and decks with a wb larger than 14"

... The red ring is the axle rethreader... you used the actual Ace nut.

If you weigh more than 90lbs the wheel bite is crazy...

I'm 240lbs. That's explains why my trucks are always loose to me.

Bravo, wearing a mask at the skatepark.

You were way to nice with that break up. Tell her the truth!

Indy😂😂

Independent is to skateboarding what Harley Davidson is to motorcycles.

How could you do that to the poor indys!

Skating with a mask on can’t be healthy man.
