the comparison to thunders and drift cars is genius

I just ran across this video. I honestly never ran across your video. I was so happy to see that you didn’t copy what other influencers say about why they like thunders. You had a very different reason why you liked them. Please keep being real, and keep shredding. 👍

I like indys and thunders for different reasons. I feel like indys work slightly better here in the uk because the extra weight helps push through the crust a bit more

I skate the thunder 147 standard polished. What’s interesting is that they are shorter than the 148s and up by a couple millimeters. I think the bushings, truck design, and height of the 147 gives me the most stability without sacrificing turning. I also agree with you that thunders are a nice, handsome looking truck. Love the translucent bushings and trim design.

Buddy those bolts sticking up the floor on the feet of the bench are no good... You can easily make a big hole in your feet there. Consider sawing it off or find some other bench to skate...

I love thunders but can't seem to prevent the bushings from splitting apart on me so idk what truck to ride cause venture kinda suck and indys are heavy lol idk how you deal with them breaking lmao i notice it immediately they start off good and stable than get wobbly and too lose
@liam_dawson Жыл бұрын
It happens to me too, I’m okay with it until it’s becomes squirrelly much further down the line (usually more a result of pivot cup problems way too old trucks at this point anyway). I say buy replacement thunder bushings. They go the distance for me.

Spend some extra money and get the forged titanium Indy's. They are much lighter and comparable to standard Thunders in terms of weight.

Hey man. I have a question as a dad of a nee skater. My 11yr started with a chocolate 8.25 + royal 149s + ricta 56mm. Now I got him Quasi 8.0 + Indy Silver 11s 139 + spirfire f4s 54mm. Is this a good setup for a beginner ? Or is it too high of a skate ?
@liam_dawson8 ай бұрын
I think you nailed it. Board brand is cool, trucks are super dependable and correct width, wheels will have a good lifespan without flatspot. That setup is the best foundation and will keep him happy and progressive imo :)

I’ve never understood why skaters don’t just use fastenall or any home improvement store for hardware. The stuff at your skate shop is just the same stuff but marked up

Maybe because it's cheaper? Or if anything the same price and the skate branded hardware is hardened so why not really?
@Avaddon9117 ай бұрын
@@cwatson42785 it is most certainly not cheaper to buy 8 bolts for $2-5 when you can get an entire box for that price. Fastenall also carries hardened steel, which your skate shop hardware is not made of lol.
