[RonLarhz]

if i do mostly street cruising ocassional skatepark ramps,which hardness should i get?100a n above or 100a?i dont really like soft wheels n felt that 100 is the softness i can take(cos my frd's 100).my current one r probably 99 or lower.and it cracked reccently.thinking of getting BETTER wheels or bones but i think both comes in only 100?any info guys?btw should i get 50mm or 52mm?im riding size 8 but thinking of changing to a smaller deck in the future.

[caydjj]

Tensors with bones!!

[TheSkater20107]

@blskates24 ok thanx

[utubit22]

@TheSkater20107

ur trucks should fit to within a 1/4" of ur board width. I think 145s should fit perfect but might wanna check jus in case

[SkateDK99]

@TheSkater20107 Yes

[HarmFlo]

@TheSkater20107 .. 7.5" deck = Independent 129, Thunder 145, and other brands 5.0

[InsaneImmortalApe]

@TheSkater20107 yep

[stebbiskate]

@TheSkater20107 yes

[almostsk8boards5]

@TheSkater20107 yes they are the 7.5 thunders

[lzexlnero]

@TheSkater20107 yes, but it fits better on a 7.75 deck

[adamc2599]

@TheSkater20107 yes, they way thunder have explained it is that 145 are used for 7.3 to 7.8, 147 thunders are for 7.9 to 8.5 and 149 are for 8.5 and above

[alesnacarlo123]

[abcragz123]

[awesomeness8226]

DESRUCTO FOR LIFE

[lanzzboy]

I prefer tensor trucks...

[JehosafatJahaziel]

@lanzzboy Magnesium slider lo trucks are FUCKING best and also thunder titanium

[lanzzboy]

@JehosafatJahaziel What trucks are you using??

[JehosafatJahaziel]

@lanzzboy Tensor magnesium slider lo trucks



[lanzzboy]

@JehosafatJahaziel same here dude!!!

[username12345901]

the first trucks he picks up are the same as mine

[Circaman8]

royals trucks are also pretty good thats what i use

[ninjaturtle7861]

i skate street so i would need smaller wheels for ledges right?

[stenudden]

ummm... OMG THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED ME

not

[808SaltLakeBlood808]

whats better independent or venture

[zsc5438]

@808SaltLakeBlood808 there both great but i recommend venture

[D4rKxy13x]

@808SaltLakeBlood808 Venture make one model of truck i differnt colors (mediocre quality but expensive) whereas independant di various models and are cheap for what you get. I personnaly skate with destructo d2s, whick have really hard bushings and are good quality and solid. I recommend you look at "about skateboarding" which has different brands reviews and top 10 lists.

[matias7anriquez]

[matias7anriquez]
