TLDR: They turn and feel different little difference in durability between brands you might have to try different things before you find what you like best. Whereas Ventures push out the wheelbase by placing the axle nearly over the truck bolts nearest the ends of the board, and Independents pull in the wheelbase by placing the axle nearly in the center of the baseplate, Thunders fall somewhere in between. I couldn't say that any brand of trucks is more (or less) durable than any other.īest bet would be to try some different setups and see what you like. Probably the world’s most popular skateboard truck, Independent Trucks are excellent trucks for carving bowls. I go over my personal pros and cons- all opinion based. Let’s check out some of the pros and cons of the most popular skateboard trucks for carving. My comparison and review of Venture 5.6 vs Thunder 149 light trucks. Once you watch this video, you’re gonna have to admit that this was a great one that Ben De Gros recently put out.

Standing at 52mm height, the Classics are a mid-height truck comparable to the height of Thunder Trucks. It also comes down to personal preference. Lows would probably not serve you very well carving a bowl as you need small wheels to prevent wheel bite. Also, a lot of transition skaters like them because they feel a little more stable.Īs far as breaking goes, I've been skating since about 1978 and I've seen pretty much every brand of trucks you can think of (and probably many you've never heard of) break during use. The lows are pretty low at 48mm and are comparable to the height of Venture lows. They have a slightly wider turning circle than Indys, which makes them a little more stable. This makes them a little more popular for beginners. Thunder trucks are often the choice of the connoisseur. They keep you moving and make sure you get where. So, the main difference comes down to the geometry of each truck and their specific stock bushings. Skateboarding trucks impact the way you ride, the way you turn, and the way you perform tricks (or not). They have the same Kingpins, Axles, and Soft Aluminum for good grinding. They turn a little slower and feel a little more stable when riding. Indys, Ventures and Thunders are all manufactured in the same place, Ermico in SF. Thunders move the axles out more for a longer wheelbase. Indy axles are setup in a shorter wheelbase configuration and turn tighter but this can make the board feel squirrelly to some, especially new skaters. Thunder and Indy have pretty different geometry and that makes them act different when turning.
