I love mine. They feel broken in at the start, and they're just amazing! Get a pair of downlows.

They skate awesome and grind awesome. Good turning, etc. My downlows I have had for about 3 years and skated them about two. I had my krux III for about 3-4 months before the bases broke, then another 2 or 3 months before I broke the axle clean from the hanger. About 7 months in them. Im skating my downlows again, and love them.

I hate em. cheap advertising. **** em; buy thunders or Independent. krux baseplates broke on me and the axels on the other one broke. a 5 set is unnaceptable to break them off. and their colourways are shitty advertising too

Haha 5 set unnaceptable? My baseplates both broke with a flatland kickflip... in fact they were always messing up when I skated fast. Ok I didn't like them. :-5:

I've already had Thunders, two pairs. I'm riding my second set of Indy's right now too, I'm looking for something new so Krux came to mind since Venture suck dick.

no.


Krux rocks. I love my downlows. The kingpin is really low, way lower than I was expecting. Great trucks, get 'em.

And Venture DOES NOT suck.

I absolutely love Krux Trucks. They skate great, they have awesome graphics and ideas (I've got some velvet downlows right now). They lasted forever for me so give 'em a shot.

Thats because I was out skating. I'm more of a lurker than anything.

Krux are alright, sure the low kingpin is awesome but royals once they break they are smooth as a babys head(also very light). Ventures aren't bad either I actually did like my ventures I just hated that it had those extra holes for vert boards; aswell they were heavy.

i might pick up a pair of downlows for christmas. if i do, should i also pick up a pack of doh dohs? how are the krux bushings. i dont even remember lol.

dont even think about gettin doh dohs for krux. krux bushings are probably the best bushings ever especially if u like loose. i don ttighten em or loosen em when i get em i skate em just how they come . theyre pretty loose but thats how i like em. it is exactly how they say it how they already seem broken in.
trust me ull love em dookie.

I was wondering if I should get the Krux Downlows too. I have one question though, since you tighten them with a allen key, does the bolt thing under the truck go down into the board when you tighten them like Grind Kings?

The reason Venture suck is because they're a pain in the ass to get on and off the board because the front tends to f--k with how the tool fits. They also break like nothing, and if you skate loose trucks the nut on the kingpin tends to strip out and come off and don't say this happens because it has happened plenty of times to my friends.

no, unless of course you like your trucks EXTREMELY tight, tighter than britney spears' shown pussy every day, and your bushings will be exploding.

That was the one thing that would have stopped me from buying them. I'm 100% positive I'm getting DL's for my complete.
