Personally, I think you should buy a 16-wheeler. More efficient truck in my opinion

Thunder sizing is more like this: 145: 7.38 to 7.9 147: 7.75 to 8.25 148: 8.0 to 8.4 149: 8.25 to 8.625 151: 8.5+ 161: 8.75+

[@_Maxten]

i think you meant 145 for the first one because you wrote 147 twice. but another thing i'd like to note is that, you can rock trucks that are no more than half of an inch too small, specifically if you have wider wheels. i had some thunder 145s on an 8.25 and had some wide 54mm conical wheels, put the washers on the inner side, added a small riser pad, and it helped balance it out a ton. it felt normal. actually made it turn way better, especially since they were thunders but if you like tight trucks, just get some really hard bushings and you're good

[@Santi29o]

The goat

[@Santi29o]

Yo quick question. 145 or 148 for an 8.25 board? New skater :P

[@_Maxten]

@@Santi29o 148s are recommended for an 8.25. i ride an 8.25 too but i use 147s. i find that if you go down a size you turn better and it also means your board is lighter. but thats my preference. 148s would make it feel more stable, sturdy, and solid. i actually used to rock 145s on my 8.25. i commented about it above. only downside imo is less room to grind. but i will say that 148 trucks are a really versatile size just in case you wanna go down or up a board size.

[@Spikeupine]

what confused me when i bought my board was trucks measured in mm while boards in inches

[@pg4v377]

A normal skater wants trucks that approximate deck width. The deck acts as a lever to rotate the truck around the pivot. Narrower trucks are more responsive to pivot; wider are less responsive. Narrower trucks are light; wider trucks are stable. To balance these considerations, the truck width should match the board.

[@Miriam-pq4vx]

Thanks Braille for motivating me to skate again for the first time in four years. Spent the day trying to relearn the basics like ollie and kickflip and I had a lot of fun.

[@fernandoreyes680]

I think you guys forgot Venture's size scale: 5.0 is a 7.62" axle 5.2 is an 8.0" axle 5.6 is an 8.25" axle 5.8 is an 8.5" axle 6.1 is an 8.75" axle Edit: Had to change the comment since the catalog for Venture trucks changed a little bit since I first posted this comment

[@kristianlenny1314]

Braille Skateboarding, I really appreciate how you make your how to skate videos. I really didn't know how to skate, but since I watched your tutorials I learned. I love ur vids, hope people support u!😄😀😜😎

[@BasBach]

I'm re-learning how to skate thanks to Braille and when I was younger I use to skate 7.85 or 8 and was used to it but then before I quit skating because I got frustrated I rode a 8.25 and like it. So that was like 8 years ago and now I've been relearning how to skate and I bought an 8.5 since I'm a lot bigger than I was so I thought size 8 trucks will fit so I got destructo lows really stable but to small so I switched to 151 thunders and the stability is awesome finally got the ollie down again. thank Lance and Aaron you're the best a teaching.

Question: I'm getting back into skating for the first time in 10 years. I need to know what kind of bushing I should use to have tight trucks? The bushing on my trucks are garage and feel so loose even after tightening them down. I used to skate for hours everyday and your videos are really helping get back out there! Thanks for the awesome vids!

[@cdsgunn82]

Lance my family love's the braille crew and all of the info. We would love to see more equipment review and opinions on setups for different ride styles. The KZbin skateboarding reviews we watched from other's are filmed poorly and don't contain much info. Yes we can all look it up on Google but watching your favorite crew explain it in a fun way is better.

I've always thought it was crazy how much a skater can tell the difference in a quarter inch, when your skating a 7.75 looks and feels way smaller than an 8 when in actuality a quarter inch is a tiny difference like half the width of a dime difference.

Hey guys I would say that choosing a board as a complete beginner is super hard since u dont really know what u really like at all. Guees thats why people tempt to buy a comeplete board where everything is surpose to fitt together "like a gloove xD". Anyways i personally feel that the best way to choose, is to pick ur board size first, as u sorta also went over. After that u start with a truck size thats a llitle narrower then the deck size. After that u kinda get the feeling whether u wanna go to a smaller truck or a wider truck size :D i think the wheel type is depending on what type of skating ur prefer freaking sweet video guys, i like ur so down to earth meanwhile being super diversity in ur viewer group (Y)

Most important thing is the axle length which basically tells you how wide your board should be or atleast very close to that. I only skated thunders and dont bother looking up indy sizes but this is Thunders: 145's, 7.75" / 147's, 8.0" / 148's, 8.25" / 149's, 8.5"
