Much love ❤️

[@TysonHook-22-]

Just to add my 2cents, I prefer to ride my trucks at a medium tightness, tight enough to setup for tricks and cruise straight well avoiding most wheel bite upon landings, but still lose enough to turn without constantly having to tic tack... The break-in of Tensors ATG maglights is vary odd, I dont think ive ever had another truck that changed so much from day to day early on... like one day theyd feel tight, the next maybe a little loose, and then the next just right and was consistently tightening and loosening them before a skate sesh, then one day they were just perfect! and they've been my fav trucks ever since. Call me crazy but I think the odd break-in of Tensors is 100% due to the top bushings dimple thing that is slightly recessed within the truck, but once they properly break-in they feel amazing. I like that you mentioned the sturdiness/stableness of Tenors cause many of the newer Tensor reviews leave that out but to me Tensors for sure seem extra stable until you want them to turn and then they break into a nice turn. Personally I rode Indy and Tensors ATG mags on my 2 setups last season, 1 for street and 1 park and didnt find much difference in turning radius... how quickly they break into a turn is vary different, again Tensors ride straighter until you want them to turn but once turning they felt quite similar to Indys imo, Indys break into a turn with vary little effort... like a little to much heel or toe weight well setting up for a trick and your gonna begin to engage a turn, the Tensors on the other hand are vary stable for trick setup and only take slightly more weight pressure/effort to engage them into a turn. I could be wrong, but I believe the additional stableness is due to the dimple as well... like it adds some rigidness/stability for cruising straight but also doesnt hinder turnability when you want to turn... a main feature of Tensors has always been there ability to go straight, just watch old Mullen vids talking about what makes Tensors different/his philosophy of how a truck should work, in Mullens mind going straight with the least effort possible is key to a good truck... Tensors are the oddest trucks but in a good way and once you adapt to the odd and unique features they're simply the best imo. Also being Canadian, I found Tensor bushings to be way, way more durable then indys, the last couple months of the season as the chilly fall weather rolls around Indy bushings become hard and brittle and will crack and break super easily, didnt find this to be a issue at all with the Tensor bushings... The Shortys Doh-doh bushings are one of the only other bushings that I know of that arent severely effected by weather changes, I believe shortys even mentions it in some ads/descriptions of Doh-dohs.

@@TysonHook-22- hell yeah G there’s no right answer to how looser tight you ride your trucks. It’s all preference. Sometimes trucks are just really weird.

Great review and dope sk8ing, Andre! I am in a search of new trucks and have never sk8ed tensor. I am in my late 30s and now i sk8 mostly flat, ledges, manuals and some small stairs. I have been mostly on ventures and also have tried some destructos, krux, royals, but never the big ones - indy and thunder coz they are more expensive. I was thinking to give a try of thunders this year coz they are a really rad company, but i have two concerns - the baseplate for nose/tail slides and the durability/money relationship and tensors seem to stand better on these two. And the new tensors atf seem to have better kingpin clearance and a turning. What is your opinion on tensor vs thunder.? Greetings :)

[@memorysometimers3067]

Very true, it is based on preference and looks like they work really well for you. Rog from the NineClub rocks Tensor !! You got a savage trick list bro!! Was wondering if anyone had some input on the bearing “spacer” that sits on axle between bearings. Rat Vision did a vid years ago about them but kinda focused on putting the spacers in weird longboard wheels. Some are too big for the wheel? Needs to sit perfectly between bearings without popping them a bit outta the pocket?

[@malaka734]

I love them they work perfect for me, wow thank you bro you made my day :) hmm for the spacers i just put one in the front the the wheel and one on the back, but there are no rules with that you can do what ever you want, it dose help to put a few it helps truck blots to not get stripped because the spacers sit flush, i hope this helps you buddy, and thank you for the support, have a good day

Memory Sometimers thanks bro you are too kind. I love tensors there perfect for how I skate, I love rad rats videos very insightful, for the spacers I don’t really know I just put 2 on each side so the bolt is flush so It doesn’t strip Btw thank you for watching my video 🙏

i have a question, im from argentina and here most ppl use (or at least when i was younger idk now) those pads that go between the trucks and the board, and i always thought it was to absorb some of the impact and not damage the board or something, but im seeing that americans dont use em at all or they use them to make the truck higher? idk

[@delplaya5]

Those pads are called riser pads and they are used to make the trucks higher. They were used to prevent the wheels from touching the board during turns because wheels were a lot bigger back in the 70s and 80s. I always had them on my board, now I don't. I'm sure kids in Argentina don't either. Now that wheels are smaller there is no need for them, although you will still see some people use them if they have big wheels or really low trucks. They do absorb some impact and shock and probably prolong the life of the board a little depending on how soft they are. Ps I've been to Argentina. Enjoyed it.

I love em took awhile to get use to tho since i skated lows since i first started skating

I've only skated element carbon deck, really liked it, looking at the Folklore brand made here in OZ

So I have cruiser wheels on my board because my streets are bad but it's a pretty heavy board any tips to help doing tricks?

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

Only lightweight models cruizer wheels gonna help you. Im using new ricta chromecores clouds 92a as cruizer and tricks wheels too on shitty terrain

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

What is the width and length board you riding? Im using standard popsicle 8.25 8.375 with all wheels. Even longboard 70mm 75mm wheels same boards sizing

[@F34RSkull]

@@acgwestsidesb6410 ah I think it's 8.25 also I'm using 59 size wheels tho idk I'm kinda new to skateboarding but I do have a revive skateboard

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

@@F34RSkull probably wheels too wide around 40mmish something. Anyway it's hard doing tricks with high setup bcoz of 59mm wheels. Closer to the ground easier to balance. Ricta chromecores clouds suggest 34mm wide for 54,56 mm enough for rough pavement and not overweight your setup. Anyway as beginner you could skate better and learn with as skinny and as light wheels as possible if we talking about street tech tricks. Ceramic si3n4 bearings is the next level of improvement for crap surfaces

[@malaka734]

F34RSkullbones maybe buy smaller cruiser wheels and lighter trucks and a smaller board because if your cruiser board is huge it’s going to be very difficult to learn flip tricks on it, tensor mag light mids would help with the weight also thicker shoes will make it easier too Hope this helped And thank you for watching my vid 🙏

[@pirateguitarrr]

Would those magnesium ones last long if all I skate is flatground?

[@griffin12aaa]

D. E. Kamiński yea ive had mine for a year

[@malaka734]

D. E. Kamiński very true it all depends on how you skate and what you skate and weight defiance too

what your favourite shoe? can you please make a vid on skate shoes

[@malaka734]

Hey buddy, Nikes and es for sure :) .. yea man i will make something like that when im done posting all my other stuff, thanks for your comment :)

[@reenux777]

Hey, you can make videos about new tricks you trying to land, about your routine, about your favourite tricks. Maybe try to land a hard/cool trick on that very spacious ledge, with the sun and a good angle, it looks good. Or anything you'd like to share. Have a good day !

[@malaka734]

hey man thank you for your comment, i will try my best once i am done uploading all my content thats just sitting on my computer, but thank you for this, you gave me lots of great ideas to play around with :) same to you bro have a grate day :)

[@brondodabastard8592]

does it make the board feel lighter or get your tricks higher

[@TheEchelon]

Yes, but for some it can be too light.

[@huf5764]

The Echelon does it make you Ollie higher

[@malaka734]

Big 8 it definitely feels lighter, but it will take some time to adjust to the light weight different muscle memory, but once you do I would say it dose help to with your maneuvers and pop Thanks for watching the video man 🙏

nice review! Idk how you can say manuals suck when I've never seen a more steady manual and nose manual in my life lol. anyway you should lend these to Ben Degros I've been dying to see his impression on some Tensors.

[@foreroa]

You should try to convince Ben Degros to review some Tensors but probably a fruitless endeavor since all he skates are Indy, Thunders, and Ventures. Several peeps been asking him in comments for a long time. I am curious about how the Tensors All Terrain Geometry are so if you get to trying some in the future would be interested to know how you like them compared to the normal ones.
