I still have my first pair of tensor that had a red baseplate and a gold plastic slide piece. I don’t skate tensor anymore (I skate indys) but tensor shaped me and I will always remember those trucks!
In my opinion, I was more stoked on his kickflip bs noseblunt down the Clipper than Nyjah’s cab bs noseblunt. Nyjah’s was jaw-dropping, yes. But Ryan’s style and even watching his interview made it more real, if that makes sense. That and I’ve fangirled his clips back in Wonderful Horrible Life lol
@@otoolex we come from the same era, man. I especially hate the forced “steezy” style nowadays. I appreciate the raw style, the sketchy landings that they fight to hold on to. Ryan was part of that era and it shows regarding his passion, but his style is more on the smooth side, the pop, the flicks, the slides. It’s not robotic like Nyjah’s, where it’s too smooth that it looks fake. Today’s era, I’m a fan of Chris Joslin. The dude just full fuckin sends and usually blindside tricks
I started on grindkings in 2000.(when i started skating for real) I been on Tensor (last 7 years) right now have the magnesium Mid w/ the plastic sliders Rodney Mullen signature. Love them
i skated tensors for most of my time skating (about 9 years) then switched to indys within the last year but my homie still rides tensors and i frequently grab his board and skate around on that just to feel the tensors again lol
All of them... I use 1/8 mini logo shock pads (by shock pads Im meaning they are softer rubber vs the hard plastic risers) I trim them down so theres no rubber over hanging the baseplate which can cause friction with nose slides and such

I’m with you on the dry bearings👌
When I get new bearings,soak them in 2stroke petrol and they roll and sound 💥 try it

Real small wheels came in a pack six
8:20 so true- you literally can get used to anything.
Always wanted to try tensors...
Riding Tensor right now mag lights
I wanna try the 5.75 pair next. Its 8.5 axle
Mob grip only!!!!
Fact. But lately been on some Grizzley like it alot so much grip
Much love from Switzerland
Looks like Chad Reed
I broke 2 tensors. They blow.
tensors crumble under my feet everytime. im 175lbs. tensors and me are not friends.
Ryan gallant used to be my neighbor. I should go say what’s up
What risers work with tensor?
All of them... I use 1/8 mini logo shock pads (by shock pads Im meaning they are softer rubber vs the hard plastic risers) I trim them down so theres no rubber over hanging the baseplate which can cause friction with nose slides and such
Powell Peraltas work
I used to skate the old Tensors with riser pads. It actually used to solve my wheel bite. I love that they make higher trucks now.
Try Mini Logo trucks. One of the best.
Had the sickest Ryan gallant dcs back in the day they looked like half cabs
I think you are talking about the Ryan Smiths lol
who skates and DOESNT have a lace belt?
