Krux, Grind King, or Silver Trucks?

[Bakersk8er]

opinion needed

[Bakersk8er]

I really want an opnion. My most of my friends say grind king and krux but silver are also good.

[BoardAbuser]

dont get None of them get Thunders they kick buttocks!

[skizzate]

No. Krux are the best. Thunders are overhyped.

[Bakersk8er]

Now i'm lost. I know i'm not getting thunders but the other forums say krux break fast

[BoardAbuser]

Ventures are awesome too.

[Bakersk8er]

yeah but i hear that ventures break way too easy. My friend got his ventures and they practically crumbled after a while. He isn't that good either

[skizzate]

Krux break fast?! pshh lies.MAbey the old old krux but not the new. But ventures arent bad too. My friends broke... but they were mega old

[dsc6072]

I dunno what I'm supposed to be breaking on my Krux but they are fine. Venture kingpins are notorious for snapping at random times, but they are good.

You know what, buy some Indys. Screw what everyone thinks about this heavy crap. It's just excuses to fall back on when they suck. Nothing turns better than an Indy.

[Bakersk8er]

Indy's are heavy? I've never considered getting them
Whats wrong with Silvers?

[dsc6072]

Apparently thats what everyone says, although I highly doubt you can feel a 4 ounce difference on a skateboard. I know I couldn't.

[LIVE2SKATE]

I just got grind king gk-7, pure awesomeness

[FIGHT!]

I like Thunder Marc Johnsons, they feel like indy's yet are super light...

[Freaky Styley]

Of the 3 you have there, I like Silver best. If ya liking da thunder...maybe MJ or Apples.

[shift_Decks]

everyone here gets
thunder
indys

thunders and ventures are the best
thunders have god turning there very durable and very light
ventures are ok at everything

Almostg no one awnersed his damn question

i would persoanyl go with Grind King

[DCsleepsalone]

if set in stone, I would get Krux, if not, idk. I really like my ventures but ive never tried thunders, in fact, the only mainstream trucks i havnt tried are thunders and furys. Are furys any good?

[Bakersk8er]

Almostg no one awnersed his damn question

i would persoanyl go with Grind King
THANK YOU!

[dsc6072]

I would like to know what a mainstream truck is.

[spenser]

out of those, definitely krux.

thunders are better though.

[spenser]

I would like to know what a mainstream truck is.
so would i.

but id assume its the "big" brands, like thunder, indy, krux, etc. not like.. mack 2 or bullet or something like that.

almost all trucks are "out there" just as much though, you just have some that are more popular than others. there really is no mainstream when it comes to pro skateboarding companies (pro meaning ones that are not walmartey brands).

[Bakersk8er]

I would like to know... what makes you ollie. I all ready know how to ollie but I am saying is it the trucks or the board that makes you ollie. Could you possibly ollie on a blank deck with nash board trucks?

[dsc6072]

I can ollie on a piece of wood held up by two bricks, assuming it is at least the general size of a skateboard (8x31).

[emericask8ter]

i would choose krux cuz that was wat i was getting untilmy friend got them be4 me so ididnt get them. but he's had them for about a year andthere still good. he's actually 1 of the bestskaters in texas go to www.adrenalineskatepark.com he's the black guy

[Bakersk8er]

Thunders sound nice... My frined has a pair but I don't hear him complementing them. Krux also sound nice. I'm leanin more to krux and thunder. I read some other threads and they say Grind King are too loose and some other stuff. I haven't heard too much about silver though

[BakerStencil]

Out of your options I say Krux. Personaly I took the advice of the guys here and switched from Ventures to Thunders and I don't regret it one bit...Go Thunder.

[ABear]

Go with Grind Kings and toss the bushings as soon as you get them.... They put soft bushings in from the factory......

Here is a thought :-3: if you have soft bushing your trucks will be soft...Duh Slap different bushings in your your good to go....

Monkey bottom bushings work and GK has hard bushings...

The Vbeam axle Can not slip go to shop and look at the AXL model you can really see the Vbeam Axle pretty good and you'll see what I mean...

[blacklabel4eva]

Grind King!

[bmxStreetSweepr]

about three weeks ago, i would've said "go with silver trucks, man! they've got the game on lock." but then on friday i noticed that the kingpin was stripped on mine and i don't even remember messing with them after the initial fitting. so...now i say get anything but silver or core trucks.

ventures are decent. to me they feel extremely light, almost like the wheels are being held to the board by a lot of tin foil.

tensors feel a little heavier, but that's just peace of mind riding along with you and your board.

grind kings were great back when no other company recessed their kingpins...but now they're a pain in the ass because of the allen key kingpin (but you can change that...but that defeats the purpose of having grind king trucks).

indys are by far the best in my opinion. they only FEEL heavier because of the bulky (tried and true) design. the kingpin never gets in the way and the OEM bushings (the ones that come with it) are better-than-decent. pick up a set of stage9's. by the time you kill those, you will have enough experience to pick another set for yourself...and it'll probably be another set of indy's.
