DESTRUCTO TRUCKS REVIEW!!! D2 Mids

[@Quesly1]

Destructo were the first trucks i ever had on a world industries board my mom bought me at play it again sports, so they have a soft spot in my heart. honestly i thought they went out of business a super long time ago

[@DestructoTruckCo]

under new management since the end of 2018!

[@zackeryyy]

lol were you like me and got those signature BAM ones?

[@JonathanDiaz-qk7bp]

bro, your comment hit the spot. I got mines at tillys. world board with destructos. always tempted for indys as i got older because of popularity.

[@joederbo6151]

Good trucks bro, fond memories...

[@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg]

I still roll around on my Destructo's from 04'.That's right,I've had them since I was 13 (now 29)

[@_Maxten]

the people: hey, Tensors next? Ben: (sighs deeply as he mentally prepares for getting used to yet another new brand when he just wants to go back to skating his indys already)

[@AlumarsX]

They are 55mm, he will hate them haha I have a pair, theyre alright. I do love the weight. I get less fatigue and the shinners barely hurt.

[@_Maxten]

@@AlumarsX which ones are 55? i have the mag light regulars and those are 53, according to tactics the Alloys are 51

[@danielpage5531]

@@_Maxten I think all the current All Terrain Geometry ones are 55mm high. I have both the older 53mm and the newer 55mm and they do feel different. Def tighter turning and less wheel bite with the ATG ones.

[@zackeryyy]

I'm always going to stick with grind king but it's pretty hard for truck companies to compete with independent or venture so props to destructo for staying in there.

[@JordanIsBadAtGames]

I used to exclusively skate destructo when I was a kid. When I started again I couldn’t find them and bought Aces. Now I would never go back haha

[@ramonsantiago8932]

I always loved destructos. As a heftier skater the hard bushings were always perfect for me. Even when I ventured out to other brands Id switch out the bushings for the destructo bushings.

[@soydave1988]

I skated Destructos on my first real setup. The bushings take a while to break in, but as time goes on they do. Once these trucks break in they're really nice, like a light Indy truck. My set of Destructos are from 5+ years ago so I'm not sure if they've changed much since. But they're good trucks overall, even if I don't skate them much anymore

[@fernandoreyes680]

If you ever have the chance, I would really appreciate a Silver review.

@J. Mtz royal still exists... hit up the Crailstore online. You guys gotta support the skate brands you used to in the 2000s and before... 90% of them still exist, just not at zumiez cause they changed distributors and are a trend shop now. I can even rep the old skate brands I like to wear since zumiez has failed us skaters and skate brands. I only shop online or at a local park/shop. Zumiez sucks.

[@richsoryu]

I would like to see you review Tensor All-Terrain Maglights. After 25 years of riding only independent, i found the Tensors to be a very welcomed change especially when grinding concrete. Pretty much a super light Independent truck with the same geometry but they seem to grind pretty much anything.

[@mr.jamster8414]

they arent crooked when you first buy them either, and you can use big wheels without risers.

[@kenneththam2480]

Hit them up on IG and pester them to send him a pair.

[@jeancampaner5639]

Hi Ben:) thank you for this destructo review. It's incredible to see the difference between your tricks with detructo trucks on a steep board, all your flips are sticking to your feet, so nice!!! Ok, now my daughter is asking for my phone to play downloaded games so I have to obey and reconnect later...

[@lukasberg7155]

I rode some destructos for years from 2004 to 2015. Once they're broken in they're amazing

[@fuckmyego]

I used to think that I loved steep kicks and then I got some decks with really steep kicks and I hate them. So i got a board with really mellow kicks that i love and now I don't know who i am anymore.

[@Airik1111bibles]

My Anti Hero has a steep tail but its more about the small fingers of flat that screw it up for me. The nose feels great but the tail is abusing me, manuals suck ghost pop ...ugh...I'm late 80's mid 90's I like big tails shorter nose's, I gotta find something more oldschool.

[@_Maxten]

relatable. and then you start thinking about other combos you could do and then it just leaves you unsatisfied because you keep wanting new setups.

[@mr.jamster8414]

Airik1111 try a winkowski board maybe, or a heroin with a square nose.

[@bendegros]

😂😂😂

[@Airik1111bibles]

@@mr.jamster8414 Mine is a Blue Meanie eagle graphic , it has a shuvel nose I like that but the tail just feels off. I think its the Thunders which screw with the wheelbase. I need a set of Indy's, maybe that's the excuse I need to buy more skate stuff😂

[@pjpj722]

I literally looked for this review on your channel two days ago... Then proceeded to order them anyway, even if i didn’t find a review. 100% agree with your review tho. Great for manuals not perfect for flatground.

[@DGS2605]

I read a comment on reddit that said the stock bushings in Destructos were terrible. So getting a better pair of bushings would improve them a lot.

[@rohannr2609]

Been waiting for this for so long So far the best trucks ive ride ❤️ with some bones bushings

[@brozz4933]

I skated a pair of destructo years ago, they weren't so bad. I remember they kept on turning after landing a trick slightly on a side, beside this, the axel began sliding after 3 months of use... one of the most enjoying parts was grinding the bolt away from the kingpin

[@andrewcruz8470]

Hi, Ben , Great video, I got D1 highs and work great. You should try to taste Destructo D1 because D2 is more low . D1 trucks have more kingping clearance and it´s 55 mm tall. But I fell better with 8.25 boards, cause the proportion is very important. I learned that for your videos. So maybe in a near future you want to try another one pair of destructo, but I know you´re a Indy´s lover . Thank yu for share the video.🙌👏✨🛹🙌

[@bendegros]

You never know. I might try a pair of the taller ones. They would probably work a lot better for me.

[@rawiricoromandel8339]

Ben Degros! sick skating. Can you edit in more of it please and do some trick tips. How to back smith and how to flip out of nose slides. With the same detail as your product reviews. Asking from New Zealand!

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

I have never had an issue with Destructo Trucks. I have been skating them for 10 years. They are Tough, they are light and they tale a beating. Honestly, I find they are they only trucks that you literally don't feel on the bottom of your board. Lol I don't know of that made sense or maybe Inhave been skating them so long all other trucks just feel Foreign to me. Either way, if you are considering a set of Destructo's then try them out. I don't think you will regret it. Appreciate the honest review 🤟☠

[@luthfihatta3490]

I've been thinking to buy this trucks for my first skateboard setup. Which type do you prefer to buy? ( Sorry for my bad english lol )

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

@@luthfihatta3490 Your English is good... I would recommend Destructo's to be honest, or Indies. Every skater will probably recommend Indies or Ventures. As a new skater you have alot to learn about Your own personal preference. So grab whatever catches your eye and skate them until you find your own Style and Setup. But without trying new gear, you will never feel the difference between them. Hope this helped lol and didn't just confuse you... It's Bad Ass you are getting a Board though Dude.

I bought a set of destructos in highschool when they had green bushings and I hated them. I thought it was the bushings but just ended up putting my krux back on. Sold the destructos for what I paid for them. Probably should have given them another try but oh well.

[@arc.insight]

Do you happen to know how Destructos factor into the wheelbase conversation?

[@wesleyshafer6310]

I alwayse skated tight trucks. I got a pair of distructos in 2011 or 2012 used them for a couple years. Gave them to my brother and he's had them for the last 6 or so years. I just got them back and they are still as tight as I used to skate them. (He does not skate much and has a different board)

[@emantejada3178]

nice review man. so fun and well explained review. skate so good man

[@pivenidis]

I had 3 pairs of destructo, I think they were all high as they had good kingpin clearance, but that was too long ago for me to even care if they were highs. Mine came with green or white bushings and I didn't really have a problem with them. But I had a problem with all 3 of them. All 3 of them cracked at the hanger 1 inch away from the wheel. As I continued skating them the axle would bend from that crack to the end of the axle. I'm not trying to say that they are bad, just sharing my experience. I had my last pair of destructo trucks like 10 years ago.

[@heisthazey7311]

Ben, I've broken 3 separate kingpins now on 3 different sets of thunders(all 147s, 2 pairs were lows and another lights) all within 6 months, am i just unlucky or is there something going on here? have you ever experienced anything like that before?

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

Before new generatios of 148 thunders came out I'm breaking every thunder kingpins.

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

All within 3 months. Same with every tensors destructo ventures many years ago. Only exclusion was independent trucks and new generation 3? thunder titanium 148

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

New generation of tensor All terrain geometry has horrible weak kingpins too. Same situation with new destructo d1 high

[@acgwestsidesb6410]

Probably manufacturers want kids buying trucks often since changing kingpins is very hard in forged baseplates even for adults. Conspiracy 🤔🤔🤔

[@Ghost_Electricity]

Tensor All Terrains next plz!

[@coygraf7897]

I always loved Destructo, but I also have a big problem with the current bushings and the the bushing spacers. I found that if you replace the top bushing and both spacers with Thunder parts, but still keep the bottom the same they do pretty well. Unfortunately both Thunder and Indy bottom bushings seem to mess with the geometry slightly. They squeak and rattle a bit because they're lose now , but the softer and thinner top bushing combined with the thinner washers provided the extra turning I wanted. I also added a 1/4 in of risers, which gives it that heavier pop feel you are missing. I would like to see a hollow axle high version, and I would also really like to see them in an 8.5+ so that I can comfortably them on an 8.25+ board. Other than that, after my adjustments they feel like a halfway point between Indys and Tunders. They really should get softer bushings because they're squeaky and for better tuning though, and get thinner spacers because the ones that come stock are thick, stick out, and probably weigh several grams on their own.
