OK guys this is directed at people who own or have owned Royal Trucks...Anyway I understand that there is a KingPin Breaking problem, who will agree with this? I'm considering getting a pair but I don't want something that I'm gonna snap a kingpin off of.

Yeah, Royal kingpins suck, but I've tryed the new Silver trucks, and they're pretty good.

Hmm Yeah I was looking at them(Silver) I might just go with them instead, they seem really nice, and are supposed to be super light weight.

Yer they have all these new features like an Inverted Kingpin (Harder to break) and screw things that protect ur axles and protect the threads etc.
Im thinking of trying them, but could someone tell me whther they are a High truck or low truck. I prefer Low trucks.

Those screw on things hurt like **** when you hit it. Useful, but they come with a price.

NOO!!! DONT GET SILVERS!!!! NEVER GET SILVERS!
matt and willie got em and BOTH of em broke a hanger on the Silvers. matt had em for a couple weeks, popped a kickflip and snapped the hanger. Willie, kickflipped 5, snapped the hanger. Horrible trucks... is there a pattern here? NEVER! GET! SILVERS!
p.s. silvers are lows. the inverted kingpin is basically a kingpin thats flipped upside down, an idea i came across when i had phantom 2s (year and half ago). the axle nut things, hurt like a *****, if u get lotsa shinners, NO SILVERS! u land primo alot, OUCH, and PROLLY BROKEN HANGER SO NO SILVERS!!!
oh yea. about royals, theyre amazing trucks. ill stick wit' em. royal evos are out so, check em out!

Man, those Royal Evo's look hella cool. I just might have to get a pair in awhile. Just look at them, they're so cool. I'd get the yellow or raw ones.

my royals are awesome. other than flatland tricks, all i do are grinds and i've worn them things to the ground. never had a problem with em. i do all sorts of variations of crooks, smiths and feebles .. even doing off angle-grinds hasnt broken my kingpin. just my experience though.

i used to jump off like 10 stairs and so i always used destrctos, but now im more into like kickflip off 6 sets and hip skating so i use venture or roayl. they both suck for grinding, but flips absolutly rule. and they are so low tis not funny.
