woah, chill you dumb scum. jk
but anyway, grindkings need a special grindking skate tool to adjust or something. I have the Heritic 2's and theyre ok shoes, but i bought them online so i didnt know they were going to be so bulky.

Man, you've managed to insult a good member, plus ressurect an old thread. Don't make a fool of yourself and have a fit, alright? Chill man. GK's like Joey said have bad Base's, I would go with Thunders *Billy Marks mids* But you just need to chill man.

Was there a need for snow_skate to call this kid retarded? No.
Emerica's are good. I just don't know how any of your models skate.

i had a pair of grindkings they were good at first but they loosened up by themselves, and every time i would tighten them it would make this really loud squeeking sound, so when my board broke i looked where my trucks were and there was a hole on my board where the kingpin was pressing into my toy machine.

They sell a grindking skate tool which includes an Allen Key. That's what I was referring too.

I like the trans em. I got my back 180s solid with them and my f/s pop shuvits as well. I almost pot a heelflip off a 2 ft ledge with them.
