Tarantula Trucks - VNN

[MrTerrywrist69]

what is that song called at the start?

[pelonissafe]

couple thousand hours in that? haha

[GGreenrock1]

you prob can only use offset wheels for these trucks

[zzwhiteboitt]

im sure theyre amazing but theyre kinda ugly

[dontpickup456]

the weight of a person 140-230 (male) how would the trucks not pop with the deck it doesnt seem like you would be able to get fast on one of those

[MrSpencerFahlman]

Az Bitches



[pacificbomber]

thats awesome



[lawnboyinthehood1980]

Must be polish

[raprapin]

@rminitials Not sure if pun intended or just a spelling noob.

[nsped1]

The idea literary came to me in the shower, I was STONED OFF MY FUCKING TITS.........

[Undeadsoldier717]

Its so pointless... hes is saying he spent hundreds of hours redesigning something that is already great the way it is.

[LifeBehindTheseBars]

can you slide with these?

[MrRingAding98]

If you don't know why anyone would want these then here's a few reasons.

1. No more wheel bite!

2. More aerodynamic for speed. (for the long boarders)

3. I don't have a third reason

[vjsurfandmusic]

I don't understand the reason for making these or wanting them over normal trucks. Not hating, but they look more dangerous and severly limit tricks one would do on a long skate.

[Steezz23]

Lmaooo iT Looks Like A Spider

[geniegogo]

good ground clearance. Any military applications?

[DrDeeAye]

@geniegogo hahahah

[MRibSTEVE]

Wait, wait. You had an engineer help you build them. . .so you didn't actually build them? You had an engineer, a fucking engineer, like with a degree and shit. . .

[DrDeeAye]

@MRibSTEVE hahahahaaaa thats what i saiddd

[Flumphinator]

Awesome, another gimmick in the skating community. We totally needed that man, thanks.

[MrLukebryan]

who do they exist.

[xdraxelx]

took you 6 years to make that? LOL. it would take my 5 year old brother 2 days.

[remirap]

wt is the benefit of this o.0

[InItalia13]

why dont you just ride regular trucks

[SuperMonkeyHellDude]

@InItalia13 Yeah, some people just need to be difficult -.-

[smokesmadbongs321]

Its a shitty day when you wreck on that.

[TheFSS135]

Mongo Pusher

[smokesmadbongs321]

@TheFSS135 i knew that comment was around here somewhere.

[M0NK3YK1Dlol]

uhhhh whats the point? aesthetics?

[mrpotatohead1251]

why do we have to complicate such things? :D



[thepancakehustler]

skated for like 7 years and still pushes mongo...longboarders.....

[tattoo666trent]

patented? why it's not like this will make money, little lone enough that someone will want to steal this idea and also sell these. You should invent a set of trucks that prevent mongo pushing.

[btomcassidy]

To what end?

[rminitials]

Looks pretty cool. All you knocking on this guy for being creative can suck my deck.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

i couldve invented this in 5 minutes if someone asked me to design a skateboard with bracketing on top and gave me a pen and paper. Im sure ive seen top mounted skateboards before in the early 90s.

[tgiira]

hahahahahahahahhaha those are so pointless

[randysahustlerbaby]

tattoos are a way of expressing yourself, a tattoo can tell me alot about a person, the reporters tattoo tells me that he has no imagenation at all.....

[MrSuperfrogman1]

I can't find them on the internet anywhere!!!

[TimothyLeeField]

I don't see how having them on the top would make the board any better :P

[kdip9]

1:18 MONGO

[21014BMXer]

really gay... but then again so is longboarding. Congrats

[SmeeAgainIdiot]

@21014BMXer umm longboarding isnt gay...just because you prefer BMXing doesnt mean you have to hate. So please think next time you post something.

[21014BMXer]

@SmeeAgainIdiot I skate and have longboarded too dude it's just easy... turning and powersliding isn't fun... well for you it might be. It's def faster than a normal board so that's a plus I guess. Just saying I don't find it impressive. If you do more power to ya have fun turning.

[fearsrampage1313]

@21014BMXer you know what they say... rollerblading is for people that cant scooter, scootering is for people that cant bmx and bmx is for people that cant skate... but im not gonna be a bitch about what other people do for fun.

[21014BMXer]

@fearsrampage1313 lol no offense but rollerbladers get more respect than scooter kids from me at least. Scooters are for my 6 year old daughter she can already do tailwhips and she just fucks around on em lol

[fearsrampage1313]

@21014BMXer go up to a mountian and skate down it go watch grease hammer. mabey then you will have more respect

[21014BMXer]

@fearsrampage1313 and I can skate, rollerblade, surf, ski, snowboard, bmx, and scooter so I guess I'm just awesome (as long as you have good coordination and balance any sport is easy though) it doesn't matter much scooters just don't take enough skill to get any respect

[fearsrampage1313]

@21014BMXer oops i mean alpine hammer

[Mr360Sam]

Thumbs up for Ozzy Osbourne at the end!

[isSHEEPMANimmortal]

why so much hate? the guy invented something and hopefully he's supporting himself off his creation, that would be awesome. just cuz you dont want a pair why do you have to insult him? i dont want any, i dont even like longboarding but im still happy for this guy.

[BlurryOcean]

i could do what you did in 6 years.. in like 1 week

[TheVsed]

@BlurryOcean bro, a lot of weed had to be smoked

[BlurryOcean]

why would i stop smoking? and longboarding is gay just like those trucks

[kmaitilasso]

i like sliding and these seem like they would bend sooo easy. hasanyone here slid with them on?

[ClayCosmetic]

Longboards are made for speed.  Not so much tricking.

[ElevatedAgenda]

lol at thousands of hours...

[Iamawesomeyouarenot]

what's the point? What was wrong with normal trucks? How are these better besides being different? If anything they'd get in the way more. DUMB.

[skateinghelpforyou]

gay

[NIKKOHEEBZ]

It looks like the wires that brace faces wear LOL

[2sk8ersBG]

Why, just why make trucks that you bolt on top....

1. Less Room

2. If you land to hard (idc How) Your board could break from them.

3. Its ugly as fuck and Y U PUSH MONGO!

[SuperTallMidget]

lolwut

[Tomtomcow227]

no man you didnt make them!!!

[polock771]

stupid, your gonna trip over it

[Vertual6662]

THIS IS THE MOST STUPID IDEA EVER! FUCK YOU DUMB ASS BITCH! you act like this "invention" is so amazing, BUT NO! ITS NOT!

[HedPhan]

I would destroy those skinny ass, wussy trucks SOOOOO fast. Nice Idea, just not practical.

[globalmack]

They ain't no flowboards

[MRxJessexLovett]

are they more stable or are they just like a novelty item?

[MyChemicalJasper483]

these things are fuckin useless

[Robloxpivs]

i put this on a normal board ...

[Jimskateuk]

2:07

" whats that?, where did you get that?, did you make that?"................

"why the FUCK did you make that?"

thats what alot of people wanna know

[GDogOnaFlyTip]

Whats the point ?

[MrSleepJunkie]

Other than for the novelty, I don't see how this is in improvement over regular skate trucks. If anything, they would only get in the way because that is less room for your feet on the top of the board.

[D0ughb0y90]

A solution to something that isn't even a problem

[kaloeaa]

@1:44 What happens he like pauses with his mouth open.

[grant4life13]

i feeel like those would get intense speed wobbles

[jonathan33409]

I would break those so fucking fast, it's not even funny..

[dogsb4people]

As this video demonstrated. The kids with the real skateboards are clearly having more fun.

[littlewatta]

fucking ugly and shit

[raprapin]

@b0b95eg shit man. I really waited for that trick.

[t1oxETy]

if you make the board hang lower youl get the feeling that your on a hover board...this has been done many times and much better

[cressy7isback]

ok until you catch your feet in them !

[travman305]

i just see them bending and the bottom of the board hitting the ground lol

[imalegendyo]

any benefit?

[ASVLN]

HES MONGO WHAT A FAG

[petiekas]

stupid, try another idea.

[marcpack1]

he skates mongo



[doinitforsatan666]

you suck

[Chiliconnada]

6.5 years? To what benefit? Holy shit! Next you'll invent shoes with wheels!

[TheVsed]

@Chiliconnada gets you lower to the ground for a cooler gliding feel is what im guessing

[TTPGaming]

@Chiliconnada They already make that...

[blobjrghf]

Give me an hour with those and I can give those some offroad wheels, and suspension. Simple hinge and spring. And there you have it, offroad longboard.

[LankyPineApple]

If your making stupid and useless trucks, you can quit NOW

with one easy call. Just call 951-443-5083.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE

[WolfStorms44]

Benefit is????

[gwl1983]

Trucks always worked just fine underneith the board and the boards look much nicer with the trucks underneith. If it aint broke dont fix it! You've wasted 6 years of your life.

[capitan1562]

I ordered 3:D

[idriveakingswood]

I guess your centre of gravity would be slightly lower giving better stability on a downhill...probly be easier and a lot cooler to just have been born a midget though.

[aggenbagh]

dumb

[cibmonkey]

Idea Fail

[1mattcraft]

with a skateboard, you couldnt ollie

[zapzap1611]

stop speed wobbles?

[BrettSkeet712]

you can't do a 50-50 with these

[Scottde420]

@BrettSkeet712 yeah you can if you know how to dark lol

[willthegamer360]

gay

[TeenWhisper]

press 5 for jerkin off lol

[Scottde420]

@TeenWhisper LOL

[jeitolindo]

i recognize that board.  wasn't it one of the first failed ideas for a skateboards? hehe...looks kinda cool and that's it. serves no purpose.

[LaoDiceanable]

think about it, your weight is going down, the trucks have no support.... thats an awful idea

[GECOBOARDS]

Great Bullshit this trucks! :D



[az09az42]

wheres the tail , so , u can , just ride it , no tricks no nothing , ok thats fun...

[MrPandars]

Pain in the ass to so manuals n stuff though, and tricks involving flipping.

[bdorn33]

These are just stupid. You couldnt do anything with them. All you do is ride, no freeriding or anything.

[pearlmeninnoa]

@bdorn33 ya but you fucking haul ass its sick

[xRushBlade]

Woudn't it be more vulnerable to wheelbites now?

[Cookmonster789]

@xRushBlade more like axle bite haha

[Overlordpot]

Does this make you feel more like you're floating I don't see how this makes it any different other then taking up space on your deck :/

[TheOriginst]

maybe you can turn tighter 

[PiffGuerilla]

its sad cuz i feel for the guy he wants to have something that will make him money, but in the end there is no benefit to his design

[subcoolfl]

LOL reinventing the wheel

[Kinetic0900]

thumbs up if you thought it said "Tarantula Trucks - WIN"

[sixstringsensei]

Props for experimenting and trying something new.

[JuiceCharecter]

fucking lame. prbly just gets in the way

[philkrautter]

I love how he spent 7 years designing something which does not BENEFIT the ride in any way, and could actually be a detriment. Sad.

[dttenorio]

kook...



[gingerssuck57]

stooopid

[LeTrollish]

if u push, you WILL kick them and stop...

[TheMahigetFamily]

eat a dick

[theXb0yz]

this guy talks about this fucking trucks like he's fucking steve jobs and just invented the fucking iphone... DUDE THEY'RE A LITERALLY A PIECE OF BENT METAL.

[bodomtopps]

@theXb0yz then you go make it... if its so easy

[freakinpenguin2100]

sex is cool too.

[supersexypartytime]

3:04...did he just say "internets"?

[flameball124]

but i dont wanna stop smoking !!!! :(

[ruhtraeel]

More downhill stability? O_O I have no idea

[eviltvcompany]

haha this dude pushes mongo

[b0b95eg]

What was that cool trick at 2:58 ? I wanna learn that one.

[Kinetic0900]

@b0b95eg oh thats called the footless

[b0b95eg]

What engineering? That's fucking ridiculous.

[4ulquiorra4cifer]

YOU CANT EVEN OLLIE

[celemace]

is this a joke???

[Davidsehn]

0:56 mongos

[ramas91]

Why?

[MrCommentAndVideoGuy]

i dont get it

[gotidyyourroom]

All these things are gonna do, is hurt you. And they're gonna get bashed to shit. They're like roll bars on an off roader. Okay if you want to get attention I suppose.

[MrFuzzyWumkinz]

I used to be a skateboarder, then I took a Tarantula Truck to the knee!

[juliosnap]

@MrFuzzyWumkinz I used to think skyrim Jokes were funny. And then I heard them a second time.

When you wrote that, did you crack up and think "That's fuckin' hilarious. I'm a genius,"?

[TheMicha200]

it would look freaky if they did this to cars somehow xD

[hudsonlovestosurf]

They're the worst trucks I have ever seen... Why not just get trucks that mount to the bottom? I don't understand these...

[Nirvezz]

"positive reviews" sorry.. they lied.

[xzation]

It makes the top of the board much more uncomfortable.Granted they do look cool, but don't expect anything more from them.

[DragracingX]

he seriosuly spent over a thousand man hours on this shit? i dont skateboard but i can tell that shit did not take that long.. and it seems like it took him a while to figure out how you would mount them on top "in the shower". seems pretty damn straight forward to me

[Budlaski99]

terrible idea, i don't think this will ever catch on, can't do tricks easily, won't be as good for sliding, all around bad, maybe next time champ.

[DreamingAboutDreams]

@Budlaski99 It's for cruising.

[dedust666]

yea the only problem is if i want my feet by the top... and that is how i and alot of people ride

[Dezmoinesss]

lol wtf is this training wheels for longboarding

[TheMahigetFamily]

@Dezmoinesss ..ur gay

[Dezmoinesss]

@TheMahigetFamily yes im clearly gay, but thank you for sharing the 2 words in !YOUR! vocabulary. YOUR not "ur"... jesus christ now I know why people think americans are so stupid you cant even speak your own language correctly

[TheMahigetFamily]

@Dezmoinesssthis aingt enlgish class dipshit. and im canadian

[NurrenNife]

@Dezmoinesss To be fair, Americans didn't create English. However, the American people have more than enough people who are proficient in using it. I understand your beef with people who use the language poorly on the internet, but you're really just a pot calling kettle black.

[zharnotczar]

That is just begging to break. It's ridiculously weaker than standard drop through trucks.

Also, the tarantula trucks website is no longer up. Assuming this stupid project was a flop. Sorry guy, thousands of hours wasted.  This guy doesn't understand one of the most basic rules of design: the simplest design is almost always the best. Stop complicating things just because it looks like a fucking spider. Who gives a rip?

[TheMahigetFamily]

@zharnotczar someone knows his stuff. finaaly.

[peepeevagi]

@zharnotczar You're acting like they'd break with a single bump. YOU obviously dont understand tensile strength. Due to the way forces are acting, those trucks are going to absorb alot more than regular trucks. I wouldn't use them unless they were a tad thicker myself though lol.

[zharnotczar]

@peepeevagi I'm not talking about the board breaking. I'm talking about those bending and messing with the way the board works. Once it's bent, it's broken. Unlike standard cast trucks or precision trucks, this looks like it was made by bending high gauge rods, which is tons more susceptible to bending.

Something that I didn't touch on before is this glaring mistake: it decreases the usable area of your board and the ground.

Stupid project.

[peepeevagi]

@zharnotczar You'd be right if it were a normal trick performing board. But it's not. It's a longboard.

[zharnotczar]

What is the point!?

[JackKal23]

why dont u ride regular drop threw trucks like a normal person.



[OldSchoolCthulu]

Looks very difficult to do any tricks

[clubpenguincheat1]

stop smoking it damages your deck!!

[sickonedude]

i think they are groovy but they need an industrial designer to make them look cooler. they look too "homebrew" to me

[samdavid1998]

why not just mount them on the bottom like a normal person?

[shimwah]

Whats is the point? How do they skate different? If they have no qualities other than looking different, why bother.

Came to him in the shower? LOL

[RiddlerAskingRiddles]

Well they are a new design but I'd never ride one it just looks really wired, good luck with that.
