I had a grind Kingpin when I was a kid and loved it. Till this day I do not understand why every single truck company has not used their style of kingpins. I will definitely check out these trucks
interesting just a few potential issues - non standard bushings - hard to replace, easy access nut?? seems not that easy. also not a thing at all for me but if you will actually grind them i think having like preworn sections means less material on the axle and you will grind through them quicker... is it worth it? maybe i wouldnt know
You can easily add any bushing you like, the ones they come with are specialized for their own purposes but you can add any bushing you prefer, the nut is easy access compared to other trucks with inverted kingpin where there is no access at all unless you unmount the trucks, the axle is a "u shape" so you are supposed to have the same amount or more meat on the hanger as other trucks
Ill definitely be picking up a pair when they come out. It looks like they will help me lock in on grinds more confidently. Without being scared to slip out
as i am an adult beginner of sorts looking to expand my limited bag of tricks what is that around 8:00 looks like handplant boneless? i know its not quite that? but something i feel capable of so if you can tell me what to search for in youtube? thanks
@@vg4917 honestly I’m not sure what it’s called but pretty much all you have to do is a boneless 180 while you’re putting your hand down. Once your hand is down do another 180 out of it and ride away fakie. Hope that’s helpful!
@@AdventuresInSkateboarding I think they will be great for you! You’ve been at that point in your progression where it looks like you’re about to break through and learn a lot all at once and I think these would definitely help!
@@bigdeckenergy8119 Sir, I need to. I have been stuck in rut. I have probably tossed 1000 tre flips attempts this month. It just to my front side and slightly back. My back foot is landing front bolts. Just turned 48 I will have them before 49. 🙏 Have a great Christmas.
I got the orange 🍊, well pre-ordered anyway... they look like they feel so smooth. I generally am grinding on metal as opposed to concrete, my trucks mostly have very little grooves... i learned crooks both ways in my basement just to see how different it feels. Am i gonna have to mcgyver some hard bushings in there??? Stoked for you bro!
Idk it seems like the bushings are fairly stiff but I keep it loose. Reach out to them if it doesn’t work for you and they might consider a hard bushing kit!
@@bigdeckenergy8119 i didn't mind the orange, but idk if i'd want to own them. i also saw a powder blue was kinda sick. i think this is my favorite color so far
the new deal fix stix in the '90s had a bearing nub. but the tool itself was a bit unwieldy, like you couldn't put it in your pocket. kinda like a caltrop lol

I have never skated inverted kingpins before now but they feel really good so far!
@bigdeckenergy8119 Bro, try the new Thunder Inverted sometime. The grind clearance in INSANE! I love the passion in your video. Merry Christmas
@ I can definitely give them a try! Appreciate it dude! Merry Christmas!
The 3 bolt holes is rad.
@ hopefully they hold up well!
I hope the multiple bolt holes dont blow out. Would be a great option for reissue decks with long wheelbases
I’ll be bashing them around a good bit for the next couple months so I’ll definitely let you know if they hold up or not.
Good review and skating!!!!!!!!!
Thank you dude!
Sick video. Might have to try those trucks out. They look very interesting.
Thank you! So far they are really fun!
That little slider looks so fn fun… keep shredding boss. 🎸🥁🎺
Thanks dude!

.... Exactly.... No hanger life....
Totally understandable concerns! I’m going to be testing these for quite a while to really get a good idea on the longevity of these trucks.
@@ron8935let me try new things Ron!
These are meant to let you grind your grooves in

@@inthewayclay I hope they help you dude! I’ll let you try them out next time we get a session!
@bigdeckenergy8119 I hope so to mabey it won't look like I'm about to die every time lol
@ idk if anything can fix that for you dude 😂
@bigdeckenergy8119 Then get the ambulance ready because 2025 is going off!!!
@ god help us
if you do any further reviewing of these i'd like to see how you feel about the trucks in different mounting positions
I plan on a whole episode dedicated to it!

... Dork flip 180°😂... No I'm joking.... Very common in 1980s street skating...
@@ron8935 yeah thats why i wanna learn it for doing on the old shaped decks with cubics etc, just google dork flip? lool
@@vg4917 Learn the bertslide first.

@@bigdeckenergy8119 thanks i will try... forgot my gloves today i think gloves will be good if im touching the ground all day...
BRUTHA - Freakin rippin with the new trucks . Is there anyway u can try'em on curbs?
No problem! I should have an episode on curbs in the next couple of weeks!
rocketbolts look sick. the trucks are growing on me
@@diplenski I like the bolts but you gotta give them a solid knock whenever you get them out
@@bigdeckenergy8119 i like how they are stars looking down at them
the reviews i've seen are generally positive. i've been wanting to try the disruptors too, but i'm pretty set for gear for now
I snapped gk king pins one after the other after a week
You should stop doing that. I’m gonna be finding out how well these hold up!
I am looking forward to trying them.
Just waiting in the shipping.

i don't like overly light trucks. i usually go for standards over lights/hollows
@@diplenski I wouldn’t say they’re overly light. I’ll get a wait for them for next episode
I like to lighten em up myself through grinding😂

The trucks right? 😎
at least they didn't send you the orange ones! they do look a lot better not orange. Merry Christmas brother!
Dude I wanted the orange 😂 it goes with the channel colors! Merry Christmas!
@@bigdeckenergy8119 i didn't mind the orange, but idk if i'd want to own them. i also saw a powder blue was kinda sick. i think this is my favorite color so far
Rattle can 😊
@@diplenski battleship gray is always a solid choice!
@@Evergreenprospectors I have a no spray paint policy for my skate stuff. Went a little heavy on it when I was a kid and ruined a perfectly good setup
Back To The Future trucks.
@@Dale-g4i the futures looking pretty good
Tool looks like it could be a pipe.
The Carver Skate pipe wrench multi tool is a useable pipe
Anything can be a pipe if you wanna smoke bad enough 😂
Shorty's made one around '05 too
the new deal fix stix in the '90s had a bearing nub. but the tool itself was a bit unwieldy, like you couldn't put it in your pocket. kinda like a caltrop lol
I’ve kept this thing in my pocket since I got it 😂
Rad
@Punkrocker2010 thanks dude!
Man. Looks cool. I think I'll pass on these. Reckon anyone will bring back z rollers?
@@Faerie-Princess I don’t think anybody is really wanting z rollers back 😂
@bigdeckenergy8119 they'd be perfect for south carolina. Some these curbs might finally be skateable
@ well in that case I hope they make them so you can have a curb paradise!
@bigdeckenergy8119 ill prolly just build my own curb. that sounds much more realistic
@ I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing here
