How's my new trucks?

[ldude69]

Merry christmas!.
I just got two amazing thunder trucks. They are 'dennis busenitz', and they look really nice :) I don't know if i can be more specific (please tell me if i can and i'll add the info) and if your not sure what brand i'll keep looking for pics of it on the internet.

Also, just a little problem i'm having :\ lol. Alright well ebfore i got these trucks after like 2 hours of skating my truck screws just like fell off, and my trucks just like came off the board. I don't know what it was :\. Would it be because i only use two screws to keep the trucks in? I do that diagnolly for each truck? does that cause it too loosen? Hopefully with these new trucks this won't be a problem :\. wish i could skate now, but its raining and its dark :(

thunders are sweet, have fun. yeah usually you can get away with only 3 hardware bolts on a truck if you lose one or something but 2 causes vibrations and stuff and loosens it up and stuff, i think. why only 2 per truck? buy new hardware, its like $2-3

hahah yea man, i was so stupid. I was using these absolutely shitty trucks, like absolutley shitty trucks, so bad they barely 'fit' my board and i like had to bend them to put the screws in lol... And i had 8 screws, and than like after awhile i noticed like 4 justl ike popped out over time, i got extremelly pissed. I than decided not to use thsoe trucks, and now i got 3 for one truck ,two for another , i'm just gonna jack the other from my crappy W I board my dad got me hahah..

uhh, use 4 on both ends with these new trucks.

[ldude69]

do all skateboard screws and nuts interchange. For example is it safe to use the screws for my W.E. on my new board? They seem to fit pretty nicely.

Come on man. We're talking about a screw. Of course they're interchangeable.

I thought my axle was bent on my brand new ventures this morning....I was like SHIT!! then I noticed it was just some of that left over weild stuff. I used my dads leatherman and got that crap off. I couldnt get my wheels and bearings on so thats why I thought it was bent.

That happened on my brand new ventures too. There was a big piece of solder or something along those lines on the bottom of the one truck and they just painted right over it. Took it to a benchgrinder and got most of it off and the rest just settled into the risers. It pissed the hell out of me but can't really notice it. Should put a little more quality into their product eh?

Kids are getting so ridicoulus(sp) on here. ****ing get longer hardware simple as that. the bolts so they don't fall off. jesus christ.

Thunders are the shit, I got some Lows and Highs. Haven't had the chance to try out my Highs yet, though.

I don't like them, I've had problems with their baseplates cracking.

I love mythunders but ive alrdy had to replace the Bushings, but no big deal.

i just picked up a pair of the marc johnsons today (the ones with the tuxedos on them!! haha) they feel pretty good so far, except for the fact that i hate breaking in new trucks, but i'll just have to wait and see how they hold up.

well mine wasnt on the base plate...mine was on the axle and bearings and wheels tend not to go all the way when it cant fit

and me backing up that kid: its cheaper to grind it off then spending cig money on hardware
