More on that new grind king truck. I like the potentially disastrous gaping hole for kingpin nut access [https://www.instagram.com/p/DBe9O8OyscP/?igsh=cmw4dHJ0a2prYjRh](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBe9O8OyscP/?igsh=cmw4dHJ0a2prYjRh) Some interesting features, but the 3x options for wheelbase also going to send people insane. ---

All these things make perfect sense and are all solutions to various misgivings to conventional trucks. I think they are great ideas in theory but to honest, making everything so much easier kinda defeats the object of skateboarding, I think adapting to the designs that have been set is way more rewarding than keeping trying to find shortcuts. But of course progression in equipment is key to progression in anything so itā€™s a quandry. Part of me feels like these things are just close to cheating and takes away from the skaters skill. Iā€™d rather get used to working with a product that I know I can trust to respond to how I want to skate. ---

And they donā€™t say which skaters, if any, theyā€™ve worked with to develop the trucks. And they donā€™t show any images or videos of the trucks in use. And there are no online reviews that I can find. ---

They look an old set of trucks that Iā€™ve ground in and will need to replace. (Shape only, Iā€™m not even starting on the colour) ---

New one - Polar 8.125ā€ popsicle, Indy ti, 54mm F4 classic and Swiss older than some of the local groms.
