It's just the kingpins that cause the problem. Hopefully it won't happen again because I think they got damaged and bent a month ago so if I fully replace both kingpins they shouldnt snap again. Also I like very tight trucks which snaps it easily too. I'm trying to go looser though.
I feel you, snapped my independent kingpins, never could fix it though because how they design the trucks, it wouldn't come out
what you said about the tight trucks makes sense. Explains why it never happens to me! Another benefit of loose trucks is that it allows you some more room for error when you land, and it also just looks a whole lot better to not be tic-tacking all over the place!
Yeah appearantly it happens to tons of people on YouTube and they say to never buy "insert youtuber's truck brand here" because they snapped their kingpins... haha... Tomorrow I'm getting them fixed in the morning then at 6 PM I'm going skating with my friend at my local indoor skatepark
Do you live in a rural area? I've never skated indoors except in a warehouse that my friends an I snuck into!
We had an indoor park so close to me, like i could walk there. This dude, shane, ran it. His dad owned a carpet mill and it was going to waste, they started out with like a half pipe and a hubba and a rail. It was awesome, but someone jacked like $300 from them and they closed it down cuz they couldnt pay the power bill. Really they had to have been making some BIG money out of it, at least on the saturdays. Every saturday they had a lock in $10/person. There was a good 50 people every saturday.
$10? I take it that you guys are pretty well-off! If you tried petitioning and speaking at your city council you could probably get your town a little park in a couple years!
Not really haha... The closest park (and it's indoor) around here is like 10-15 minutes away, I've only went there twice and that was to buy some parts/a board. I'd skate there if I knew anyone there really. I havent skated in a while though, no one to skate with haha. There is a 'home-made' park in the town i live in, on this little empty lot. I've never skated there and the concrete isnt really smooth but I've seen some nice videos, I'll find some on youtube if ya gimme a minute.
Nope, i live in a town. Its just that the indoor skatepark is 4 times as large as the oitdoor ones we have. I rather pay to go to a large indoor than go to a small outdoor one, plus i know everyone there
