The Groove is for locking in. You're right, Chris.
Amazing video love from italy
Gullwings are my No. 1 fave truck. I still skate them. The grove is just a design thing, not for grinding. Those are the trucks I learned to slappy on.
Do a 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s complete setups demo!
Yo... New to yr channel,,,, old to skating. I skated in the 80s and now I'm 50 and decided to get back on a board as a recreational pastime. Gullwing trucks were legit brother
The trucks on the phone were for slalom skateboard racing. Dodging cones on a hill. Nowadays there are precision trucks called radikal or gog for slalom racing. Super specialized and cnc milled for precision and adjustability. Check out some slalom skateboarding to see them in action.
The ones you were looking at in the 70s article are trucks for Quad Skates/Roller skates & or penny boards. That’s why they’re so small. The ones you’re skating in the video are re-issues, they are split Axel trucks designed for cruiser boards or downhill & slalom skating, they’re not designed for grinding. Gullwing is known for mostly making cruiser & longboard trucks. They do have one model that is your more traditional skateboard truck & that would be the Shadow model series. Tracker trucks & Indy were probably the major truck companies along with Gullwing. Tracker trucks makes great modern trucks, as well as Indy for ages. Gullwing sorta stayed in the cruiser & longboard realm with the exception of the Shadow model trucks for regular skateboarding.
I rode Street Shadow 2's in 90/91 😊👍
I want a “mogely’s back” video when he returns
Yes!! Let's get a 30 minutes in the park video!!
I had a black and white set in about 92. My Indy’s would grind better but I remember my gullwing feeling smooth to ride.
I had Gull Wing Trucks on my Sims Lester back in 1987
I actually have an old pair of gulwings, and I think they are the pro 3. I was given them in the early 90s from my friend's brother who used to skate for H-street. They've seen better days but I think they're in my parents attic, if you really want them let me know.
gullwings orange or yellow 'fluor paint'. yep. 80's. swap bushes from stock white to the harder red ones. Very first kingpin too.)
They were meant for doing long 5050s on vert ramps. I had a set of their predecessors, the Gullwing Phoenix, back when Gonz was still on Vision.
Wow rad
I have some Grind King G2s hanging around ....they were on an ancient complete someone gave me a while back! 13:09 The Chicken Teriyaki Kyro Special, you love to hear it
when you opened the package I thought they was grind king KREPER trucks,you should try them they was sic back in the day and they glow in the dark ☺️
I will check it out
And the best kingpin period!
@@brailleskateboarding if you use em in a video give me(Sam) and my son (Leo) a shout out it'll be awesome 👍🇬🇧
I was in the Gullwing Army. You have to remember that skating started in pools and ramps before it went to the streets.
I've got a bunch of sets of 80's Gullwings, OG wheels and an OG vision board I could throw them on if you want a true 80's ride. I live in the North Bay, lemme know.
back when those came out you did 50=50 by grinding in the middle, cross lock is new.
15:14 "Doug! Doug! Doug! Doug! Doug!" I always appreciate some Doug Des Autels action
Braille without aaron kyro feels different man :(
Dude some times you got to braille other times you bail .
What happened to him
@@madebydimiakagreekmachine5822 he's searching for animal chin to get some og gullwings
The growth was we went to the newer ones that work best
"Expressive volumes of growth"
I remember gullwing. I miss G&S trucks they were my favorite. Those were from the very days and dude were also riding copers on their trucks
You should try titan ti-lite trucks I think there titanium, they use to have them in the late 90’s. I had a semi run my board over and it didn’t do anything to the trucks and it was ran over by 4 wheels
All B.A.K.U. guy's skate Gullwing pro 3's, even have their own model. Should definitely check them out!! Built for grinding jersey barriers!
Low key but not at all mcnugg is a boss on that piano!
The pivot is bent, so they are much more stable for speed.
i had those trucks! loved them. ground through them though.
and you could make them spark!
I still own a pair I love those trucks
And guys, love your videos and have been skating since the 80s myself, but you *do* know that the only reason we have skateboards and trucks, is because of roller skates right? Back in the days several companies made roller skates first, and skateboards later - and even Bones have a history of roller skate wheel production and stuff :) You should really do an episode with Gabe deep diving into the history of early skateboarding and the transition from quad skates to skateboards :)
The Braille team needs to find a pair of Z roller trucks.
These were made for pools more than anything. You know like Upland, Kona,Del Mar etc.
that guy todd is the reason skatelab isnt a thing anymore
they look pretty sick
Luv u guys content!
Thanks
That can be a series of the old compare to the new skating equipment. Send the company an email with this video.
1980s trucks but u can find order ones Gabriel
another great Amazon review video yeeeew
Chris looked like he wanted to fight all video
Another reason they were popular for street skating. Was because vert was king in those day and street skating was a sort of rebellion against the whole Bones Brigade culture that was main stream. So we rejected all the big skate companies like Powell, Santa Cruz, and Vision. We did it with trucks and wheels too. Indy, Thunder, and Tracker, were all considered corporate. And Gullwing was kind of weird. And for wheels we road A1 Quality Meats. I don’t know if they are still around.
back in the 80's hgullwing trunks were popular cuz they where a big thing for slappies. slappies in the 80's with concrete curbs and those trucks they use to be super slick
i know i loved them for slappies
They're all high in this
Pool and vert ramp coping...
he said "slaylum"
Wait a minute the girls on a skateboard 13:50 🤣 nyjah huston????
When did Aaron get a tan?
Can confirm Mo replies to messages on Twitter
well back then the first boards were based off of roller skates
Fan blade skateboard………BOOM
You all should get a few pairs of Epic grind shoes and play with them.... WAAAAAY better than those Lame clickity clak strap on things for shoes...
Just to let you know independent also made roller skates
Tell me you don’t know skateboard trucks with out telling me you don’t know skateboard trucks. The Braille team goes first.
Get the real one!!!
When nav start skating for brail 🤯
They have too be high 🤣
Independent made roller skate trucks
Dang, when did Oliver Tree join the Braille team?
Ebay
Mcnug needs to know the robocaller trick. If you don't know the number, answer and don't speak. If you hear nothing a few seconds, it's a robot. Hang up. Robots only start when you say something.
That is a good trick
@@brailleskateboarding gotta let the homies know what it is. Shout-out to yall from San Ramon.
A little history from an ancient skater. The pro 3 was kinda the official truck of what would become new school street skating. Matt Hensley, Brian Lotti, and many very influential skater rode then. They were light and very grindable. The notch was irrelevant. It grinded of quickly. I never found it to help or hinder grinding
The magnesium ones were crazy light
I want an episode of Gabe and moe just geeking on old school skateboard stuff. Or the braille team goes to skateboard museum.
We have gone several times, it is an amazing place. here is one of the videos ua-cam.com/video/eEwkUYJ5k_w/v-deo.html
We were definitely grinding in the 80's, I started back in 1986, they were competing against Indy, Tracker, Venture, Thunder, Z-Roller, and then Grind King. Yes they came out in the 70's.
I first started skating in 86/87 too 😊
They were fun times 🙏
@@larryjimbob I was this many fingers (5) old back then. 😅
curbs
Braille should totally get some ancient Z Rollers and try them out on camera :) Can you really call it a grind if it rolls?
Gabe talkin' about 80s skating being the coolest, how about they get the exact setup Marty Mcfly skates into school in the opening scene of Back to the Future? Get Chris Hiett back in there to show them what old school decks are all about! :D
Gullwing were one of the main brands in the early 90s, with independent and tracker. They were lighter than independents and they didn’t break as easily as trackers.
My first board was a Vision Jinx with Tracker trucks 😊
Feeling like a skate dinosaur now 😆🙏
@@larryjimbob bang bang bang.... okay, it rolls again
GABE......... I'm hurt
"Modern skateboarding is not as cool as it was in the 80s........." I think someone needs to be taken to school.. ;-)
As a daily consumer of Braille Content... and an almost 50 yo (yet this video makes me feel I'm 85), still jumping on my board whenever possible, old man. Don't forget why...... skateparks were built. Because all of us skaters in the 80s destroyed so many curbs, parking blocks, planters, ledges, rails, pool coping.... so on and so forth. The skate parks with Angle Iron grew.... those skater blocks put on crubs and rails to stop the grinding and board sliding were invented. I think you would be pretty surprised how much you don't know. ;- )
But I still LIke You and The Entire Team! So I PROPOSE a new segment.
GABE and BRAILLE Team react to Skateboard Videos (or segments of videos) from the 80s and 90s. My immediate suggestions, and my fellow Old Skoolers can let them know as well, are as follows:
1. H-Street Shackle-Me-Not (.........Matt..... who .....Matt... Matt Hensley! Riding those same Gullwings)
2. Powell Peralta Public Domain (Those incredible Rubber Boys!)
3. Powell Peralta Ban This (Cab teaches you the perfect line)
4. Santa Cruz Streets on Fire (NATAS...... nuff said)
5. Santa Cruz Reason for Living (Dressen.... still smooth AF!)
Check out the pioneers of Grinds! ;- ) And another challenge to follow. A game of skate based on what you witness on the video!
1.....2.....3.....Shoot!
Gullwing Street Shadow. The original with the thick baseplate. Rode them hard and could not break them. Only needed new Kingpins and bushings after a while.
The baseplate had an hexagonal space that allowed the kingpin nut to set tightly, that plus a normal kingpin upside down, and you have a cheap and easy to convert inverted kingpin.
Woah…gullwing magnesiums, I had some of them back in the 90’s, they were great trucks…could grind anything and the fact that you didn’t need a riser cause of the thick plastic baseplate was sweet, I’m gonna watch the rest of the video, cheers guys.
Different trucks to what I had, my gullwings had thick plastic baseplates
My first pair of trucks were these exact Gullwings in white circa 1985 or so!
my friend bought them, i was inspired, but he busted them 2 days later.
I also had these at around the same time but mine were Green with white truck guards.
People did tend to gravitate toward the idea that the center relief was for grinding (which led to the silly follow-on 'innovation' of 'roller trucks'), but IIRC, this feature was actually advertised as an engineering feature intended to shave off excess material and reduce weight (which is also why they were made of magnesium, duh!) while increasing surface area and improving stress distribution, making them stronger as well as lighter. Magnesium is the giveaway here: these were all about lightness, and with magnesium being not terribly strong, careful attention to stress distribution is how you make a magnesium part intended to cope with stress without making it extra-chunky. And titanium was too expensive to even contemplate at the time. I believe they also had a plastic baseplate that was some kind of special stuff (glass- or nylon-filled plastic or maybe linen-filled phenolic?) also aimed at eliminating weight while retaining strength. Pick up pretty much any built board from that era and you'll realize that everything was way heavier than it is now (not only was everything bigger and heavier, but we all had skid plates and rails, etc.), so this approach made a lot of sense at the time.
I vibe with the way this was shot, it feels different and more chill compared to other videos
I think people are forgetting that in the '80s they were super popular for vert skater's as well. In case no one mentioned it
Chaotic energy in this one. beginning to end, love it
I once had a set of Gullwing Street Shadow 2 trucks on a Planet Earth Chris Miller deck with Santa Cruz Slim rails and Toxic Shock Ragdoll wheels. It was around 90/91 I believe when the first boards with a kick on the nose started to appear......now feeling old 😆😊
If memory serves, Vision debuted the "Double Kick" in like 88 or so... Took a couple years to catch on and then in a much modified form. Wasn't Valleley one of the other early adopters? Someone will correct me I'm sure. Look up that Vision board and you'll laugh it was hideous and the kick angles were STEEP
@@BakedAndAwakePodcast My first board was a Vision Jinx 😊👍
Yes I knew mcnug would like them!! That makes me happy. You should look up there ultralight Mach v1 gullwings
We should definitely look those up
@@brailleskateboarding they are extremely light. I still ride them on my vert board. And I'm 50!!!
I'm trying to remember these, but I think the groove in the middle was for ramp copings. I want to say the vert skaters back then mainly used these. I may be wrong. I don't know anymore. I was like 13 or so when these came out.
that makes sense, i remember in one of their older videos when they had a bunch of vert/bowl skaters at the park, their trucks were worn down in the center like that
I too recall them being more popular with vert skaters.
I had a set of these in hot pink/purple on the bottom of the old Powell Peralta Tony Hawk Black deck with Purple claw. Quite lightweight and very easy to grind.
I still ride the gull wing hangers on my skateboard. I am 48 years old and love this setup. Btw i use an inverted kingpin and an independent base
Trucks like that were the reason I used to flip my kingpins on all my trucks then I believe Skull skates came out with the large allen king pin bolts. man I miss riding.
These are dope. I used to ride a pair of gullwings circa 1988-89. I liked them because they handled great, the bushings didn't wear out as fast or dry out and split, the hangers didn't bend on high drops like Indy, the baseplates didn't break and the axles didn't shift like with early Tracker trucks. Grind King Disruptors and Krux K5's are the legs now. I kind of miss having extra sets of holes on the baseplates to adjust your wheelbase. You should take a board with Tracker Ultra Lights on it off of the Braille drop and watch the baseplates shatter in super slow-mo.
Gabe telling us to guess in the comments like it's not in the video title, lmao
Lmao! You guys are to funny! I still ride these and g&s,og indys and you are rite,skateboarding in the 80's was way funner,all the different shapes it was just rad,im glad old skool decks are coming back,and those g wings are more for vert ramp coping,cheers!
You should totally try to get your hands on the old Z Roller trucks, they had an axel that actually rolled, for grinds
i might have a pair of z rollers at my dads house, I bet they are worth money!!
Gabe definitely out of his mind in this one 🤣
I've got some 1980s trucks on my 1980s board. They still work fine. Wish I could say the same.
Nice
Hey Braille skateboarding! I got my first skateboard in 1975 and back then Gullwings original trucks were a wildly different pivot based truck completely different than any conventional truck! They didn't sell well so Gullwing started making conventional trucks like this blue things you got there in this vid! Ride ride ride!
You guys need an original full 80's board set up (including rails and risers) and skate the full Braile house including the vert ramp 😜👍
Sometimes the braille videos need a lil bit of obnoxious bursts from Aaron. Just dosnt feel the same. "FiRsT tRyyYyY"
I'm sure you guys could find real vintage trucks at the Skateboard Hall of Fame that you visited in earlier videos.
I wish Andy was there he would have the entire history about the trucks, why they was made, the first skater who rode them 🤣🤣
Very true
Been riding them since early 2000. They are the best trucks I’ve ridden.
Glo assumed the missionary position when pinch checking? All sounds wrong!
I still have my original Gull Wing trucks from the 80s. 💙
my first board: Vision Gator on Gullwings! won´t forget this days
Bruh plz gift me a new board I love u all
“do they work?”
*throws wheels across the country*
what a way to test if wheels work
They worked
“That last few minutes, that was really us” -Mo vs The World
Yea man back in the day they loved grinds and any tricks like that especially on vert
Gabe's outburst was hilarious lol
slaylum... really gabe. really? I really hope you were cappin there. 11:22
Ain't nothing better than getting ready for work and watching a Braille video before hand.🔥
