not those kind of trucks, silly!


Reviews: Trucks

Trucks (by Brandon Keiler):
note: my vocabulary is really small.
another note: don't hate me if I made fun of your trucks

Independent: You can't go wrong with Independent trucks. From my experience, they ain't bad! Not bad at all. Some people say that Independents suck skanky ass. If your one of those people then suck on this: Independent trucks have been around for the longest time. If they really sucked then no one would be buying them and no pro's would skate for them and they would go out of business. And it's no fuckin' monopoly I  tell ya! There's plenty of other trucks out there to buy! But, Independent trucks have been in business for a long time, what does that say to you?

Tensor: Tensor's have a "self lubricated replaceable slider piece". What that really means: Tensor's have a little plastic thing (that falls out many times) in it that makes nose and tail slides slide easier.

Webb: Webb's are supposedly the lightest trucks. And they are supposedly "helium treated". I doubt it. And if they did have helium in them it wouldn't make any difference. I even conducted (whoa! big word!) an experiment once. I found a tank of helium one time and I was making balloons with it (I like balloons, they're fun). Then I thought "hey, if I fill an empty plastic bottle with helium I should be able to throw it really high in the air! That would be cool!" So I did. And it didn't fly any higher in the air than it did without the helium.
Before you say "boo!" to Webb's I gotta tell ya the advantages. Webb's still are damn light. Also, the Webb II's have a chrome slider (remember Tensor?) These sliders are all chromey and should slide nice. The thing doesn't fall out cause it's not replaceable and it doesn't get all shitty cause it's chrome. And chrome is cool, isn't it? You could be riding your board down the street with your new Webb's and their chrome sliders, be a big pimp, spending the g's, pick up some ho's. Hell yeah.

Destructo: My destructo's are alright. They are good trucks. Nothing real special, not many disadvantages. However you might have to buy new bushing's for it later cause I hafta get new ones. I guess my bushings blew up or something. When this happens you just go to your skate shop and get some Doh-Doh's.
