How to Choose Your Skateboard Trucks (How to Build Your Own Skateboard Setup) 

thanks for watching! glad it was helpful!

Did u brought yours ?

I appreciate the kind words! I've been feeling unmotivated to make videos because I've been so busy at my real full-time job, but this comment just gave me a boost I needed. I appreciate you!

Except Krux, those are the only trucks I couldn't find anything redeeming about, but truthfully I've only ever had the K4 trucks and the K5 supposedly fixed a lot of issues that the K4 had. (Also this is just a personal preference, you might love them but I found them unskateable.)

Thank you for the kind words! 😊

Thanks for the kind words, homie! I put a ton of work into these videos, so I'm glad you are enjoying them!

thanks for watching, homie!

Thanks Dan! I appreciate it. 😀

Completely agree! If you're gonna spend extra money on one part of your setup, it should be your trucks.

Hey homie! Best trucks for an 8.25 deck would be either, 8, 8.125, or 8.25 trucks. Those measurements are all in the Axle Width, so make sure you are looking at that size! I grabbed this information from the truck sizing chart in my description. Take a peak at that if you are still confused. 😊

Yes, if you plan on grinding, especially.

Ventures are weak af, aces are inconsistent and unstable, thunders are consistent, turny and strong, indies are like thunders but more meaty and heavy

This is an old comment i know, but come on.. a 7.75??? The smallest anyone should go is 8.25, and tensor is one of the weakest truck brands, theres no point of riding them, buy thunders, indies, aces. Avoid ventures, tensor and other irrelevant brands

For Tensors measurements, it's going to be 5.25. These days people will say don't go with a small setup, but back in the early 2000s, it wasn't uncommon to ride a 7.75" to 8" board. That being said people who ride smaller setups usually have much smaller feet or are looking to do more technical tricks. The other person who commented isn't wrong 8.25" isn't a bad option as you will have more space on the board and will be more stable.

@gabriel Terrible, Terrible advice. First off this is probably a child, so saying anything below a 8.25 is unacceptable is completely wrong, what if this dude is 5'2 100lbs? An 8.25 would be way to big for a kid like that. When I started skating in 2004 everyone was riding 7.5 decks so it can easily be done (personally I prefer an 8.38 but I'm 31 and 6 foot 4inches tall!) Secondly ventures is one of the oldest and most respected brands in the industry. They haven't survived 30+ years for no reason. They are one of the best street trucks on the market. Thirdly Tensors are not that bad at all. I have a pair of them on one of my street setups and they have lasted me 9 months! They have one of the smoother grinds in the industry and have mimicked the turning geometry of Independent so they actually turn really well now. They are not a bad a truck at all and they are cheap, so you are going to tell someone that's just getting into skateboarding to not get a cheaper truck?? When they don't even know if they are going to continue skateboarding??? Gtfo here man, your just a a young dude that's just following what's trendy in the industry right now without even probably giving any of these products a shot. Kids, I encourage you to try different brands, find what works and is comfortable for you, if you are young a 7.75 or an 8.00 may be a good starting point and it's always easier to go up a size then down a size. Ignore this toxic advice and do your own thing.

I believe those are what I am currently using. I really dig them! They are solid trucks and don't break the bank.

129s or 5.0

You might need to get risers to prevent wheel bite if turning hard or shorter trucks. Not really size issue with wheels since they will be in more where Axel is

Personally, have never used them. However, what i've seen/heard they are also a great brand.

Is $58 for trucks 1? Or it comes with 2?

depends on what size wheel you are riding But if it doesn’t matter mid or high are good for trick boards Based on what I’ve seen that is

Mini logo is deff way better than tensors lmfao

howdy. 👽
