HAL Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I used to ride Ventures, and broke the hanger on them three times, and cracked a baseplate once. I've never broken a kingpin, but I rode the loosest trucks possible so that could have been why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 This was between 1992 and 1999, so whatever ones they made then. I switched to Indys in 2000, and had Trackers before 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CELT Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Indy's High ( Orange ) bushing are total shit . The Indy Low ( Red ) are a bit better but I ditch them both for some Bones Medium Bushings...a combo that works , try it out . :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makineasykills Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm still a fan of Tensor trucks...been riding them since they came out and I still recommend them. Indy's are a little too heavy for my taste but they last forever and Venture kingpins blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Venture = Shit . Indy/Ace/Thunder = Win . I have the day off , it's dry and going to be in the 60's in Cleveland .

HAL Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I replaced the bushings on my trucks with these ancient, super soft bushings I grabbed off an old pair of trucks from a plastic banana board my first girlfriend's little brother used to have. I've been riding them for 20 years. They're so soft you can squish them with your fingers. No one I've ever skated with can ride my board because i have my trucks so loose. No wonder I suck at ramp. I like Indy's because I can actually tighten the kingpin to the point where the locknut actually grabs. I used to have to shoegoo it in place with Ventures and have to fix it constantly. I used to break bearings all the time. I'd only broken one deck and three pairs of trucks, but i went through bearings like Runtz candy.

twonpoo Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 see thats weird, i think I only killed bearings as a poser for riding in the rain and them getting rusted out and fallin apart, back in the bones brigade era. but later on I was breaking kingpins, cracking trucks and definately snapping boards like twice a summer, then it was cool to focus boards when you got pissed so after that it was the regular thing to be walking home with half a board in each hand.

HAL Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 It only happened to me once, on a Black Label I got as a hand-me-down from Tim Upson, which was only park ridden but could have been already cracked. It broke on a pop shove off a guttery loading dock that was probably 3-4' tall. I used to blow out bearings constantly. Nothing is more annoying than a totally functional board with a wheel falling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twonpoo Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 brand new spitfires, board shoots out into t he street. run over and gets dragged under a car ( 4 wheel slide) for about 50 feet. me, running after car horrified to find 2 of the 4 wheels REALLY worn down almost to the bearings and the other 2 pretty much still brand new somehow. result, walking home and the day over. this was about '92.

CELT Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Believe it or not Khiro bushings are incredible , especially on a bigger board with older/bigger trucks . The smallest truck I can skate is a 149mm...ok 147mm Thunder if you want to get technical . I do miss Indy 159's which aren't made anymore . I do however have quite a few pairs of Indy 169mm , which were always my favorite . I have one set of 215mm Indy's left , but they are more or less just become part of my little skate museum at the house . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
