Incredibly light and responsive trucks
of Fernando, Blue Tomato Shop Amsterdam, Blue Tomato, 9/5/2022
I have been riding independent truck most of my life, skating street mostly. My board size is 8.38 and I'm riding 149s. I was very curious to experience hollow trucks as I have always used standard trucks.
So after being a bit scared of changing from independent trucks to thunder as the wheelbase would change. I have been surprised in a really good way with how easy the transition has been and now my set up feels better than ever! Very responsive and light. Chunky ledges feel great with these thunders!
In the future I may change the bushings from the ones that It came with but that is just personal preference.
In conclusion, these trucks have made me improved in manny aspects of my skating and without having to re-learn my set up as I felt super comfortable from day one!
If anyone is in the position that I was in and has never tried lightweight trucks, I suggest you give it a go! Of course it can depend a lot with the type of skating you do and may need more solid and durable trucks.They do look weaker than Independents but for the time being these are holding up great and the board response is just amazing.
