Damn, why do you get new trucks if you are able to ride the ones you have currently fine? You just want that nice paintjob? Wait until they snap, it'll save you money in the long run. :)

until they break, wear down enough, i dont like them, or when i just feel like getting new ones. but i know what i like, and i stick to it, so i always like the trucks i have.. so its up to breaking or wearing down enough usually.

^ yep, whenever they break, the axles get too bent, or when they're just pissing me off. but if you want new trucks then go for it.

When the axles get bent. Or whenever i get trucks that suck. Pretty much the same reasons as Eds.

I get new ones when they too much or when i need every other part to my board and then its just more worth while to get a complete.

i havent gotten a new pair in 2 years, and it's not a good choice. i usually get a complete for xmas, but this xmas i decided not to. bad idea. ive been living off a collection of old trucks, at the moment i have some random ass bushings, destructo bases, and old venture hangers, and lucky me, the kingpins stick out!
