Tracker - Forty Years of Skateboard History - Kickstarter

[@Knygathin]

What has happened to Tracker Trucks? I used to get great personal service in the 1990s. But now they completely ignore my request to have a faulty part replaced. Has there been a change of ownership?

Glad to have found this youtube channel as a former skateboarder. nowdays a Skatehoarder. But noticed one sad little thing. No recent videos. so what happened to this Iconic truck company?Kind of sad. but still have a faint hope that someone on Tracker trucks will pick up and reply. your sincerly from Sweden.

Tracker is still around and under the Select Distribution roof. Ownership has changed a few times. Let's see how they will celebrate their 50th anniversary next year.

@@yoyoskates Thanx for your quick reply. I kind of lost touch with the world of Skateboarding. But somehow still close to heart.I am passed the age of 60 by now. so not as active skateboarder as back in the days.But still going down the street with the(wind in my hair) wheels humming and the vibrations of the deck under my feet is so invigorating.

​@@janseger1693 I am still skating at age 59. I was just out in California for two weeks..... Mainly Freestyle these days, but of course I skated a lot of parks during my visit.

@@yoyoskates That´s awesome. great way to stay fit. almost nothing beats the sounds of your wheels spinning and the feeling of the vibrations going down the street.As for myself i need to lose some weight to feel better and not break my boards riding. i guess the main reason why i have not been skating this year sounds a bit silly. but it´s about safety. mine and pedestrians and cyclist. Back in the days when i rode just about daily i could stop on dime., after i had a majour accident on my bike. i am more worried about how other people would react. Not so keen of an other accident and ending up hurting someone else.But still have the itch in my feet. lastly. nowdays more of a skatehoarder than a Skateboarder . Though i have most of my boards. giving some away a few broken beyond repair. ops. seems I got a bit carried away.

I’ve got a 777 tracker board from 1980 with no graphics with tracker trucks. I can’t find another one like it. Will that be in the book?

[@lexbeltran1354]

Ordered the book today, can't wait to read it!!!

Does anyone have experience dating Tracker trucks? I was given a really old looking set of Darts, the bushings look ancient. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@mikethacker8558]

It's really a bad look to ask for money. Sell trucks, that's why you are in business.

[@scottawful2094]

are they even in business anymore?haven't seen any since 1990 and they sucked
