Tensor's are pretty good, but u should get Gring King AXL's. they're the lightest trucks possible, and, in my opinion, very durable :D

Grind King AXLs would be the best choice.

i have sweet phantom 2s, had them since like december. still good and really responsive, everything ud expect from quality trucks. AXLs are also nice choices, since theyre new, theyre pretty expensive.

Yeah both the tensors and the grindkings are good trucks but I like the tensors more. Rodney Mullen uses them and so does Chris Cole so they must work.lol

Destructo are really good trucks, they have lots of kingpin clearence (so u can grind them down a LOT), they guaranteed for life and there's a great choice of colours, also they light and have good turning etc,

Yeh, Rodney Mullen uses them because he's sponsored by them!, so he doesn't have much other choice,

Wtf, dude tensors are lighter than grindking lol, Destructo's are good unti you slip the axles break the kingpin round off the bolts and uhhm crossthread the axles, i had mine for over 8 months pretty cool but they need to have really really REALLY good non slips cos yes they do slip:-1:

i highly recommend Phantom 2s cuz theyre light and has reinforced impact points, super response, HUGE grinding surface, low profile, and built in shock pads. they last a LONG time if u use em right.

I ride tensors the most....They are a solid and light truck

I have GK and ventures also but my favorites are still tensors.

If ya really want to know why Rodney Mullen skates Tensors: Its because he was one of the main designers of them. Not cuz they pay him. Just take a look at the ON Video Winter 2002 Issue:)

Nice aren't tensors the trucks that have like some rubber on them so like it's easier to nose slide and tail slide... or i may be wrong but that's what a friend told me... so is it true?
