ok so i do not skate anything big at all. not by choice, i just don't have anything. i skate flatground unless i can find a good curb to ollie on. that's it.
well i have some Forces and i did a flatground ollie and the kingpin broke. i don't know if these are sucky trucks but i've never had a kingpin break on me. especially one that can't take a flatground ollie.
well i want new trucks and i was thinking about getting some Royals. is this a good choice?

yeah i was thinking about royals or ventures. i mean is there really a difference? i had tensors and then got forces and i didn't really see a difference. except that the kingpin broke lol.

You didn't see a difference between the forces and the tensors because they both suck. Indy's and krux blow them out of the water. Great turning radius, grind great, strong. I hate ventures, just feel cheap, and royals are light, but weak. Thunder, being essentially the same thing as venture, are so much better. If you get anything make it Indy, krux or thunder.

For the billionth ****ing time, the weight of trucks, decks, wheels, anything will not affect your skating! Unless you literally have lead trucks bolted to a 3 1/4 steel deck with cast iron wheels, you will be fine. For that ounce or so of weight the indys might weigh more than another truck won't be felt or noticed and will not affect your skateboarding abilities.
If you want really light trucks and truly don't give a shit about quality, get the Royals or Phantom 2s or GrindKing AXLs(?). If you head down that line, just throw out anything that you have heard from someone who has been skating for years and knows their shit. Go by what little common sense you may have and use it to your disadvantage. Not to sound harsh, but don't go by what you hear would make a better deck, being light and amazing. Reminds me of a ignorant kid,
'Geewiz, I should get a Bam helium deck with phantom 2s and spitfire lighters because that would be soooo cool! so light and amazing! It will make me go soo much higher and soo much faster OMGGGG!111'
