I use tensor trucks, the cheapest ones, but I didn't quite like the bushings as they were too soft for my weight, I was getting wheel bites constantly. Changed them for a harder ones and it turned out to be a descent combo!
My favorite right now are the independent hollow trucks. I’ve tried tensor trucks and didn’t like the way they felt at all. They seem too loose for me.
It's probably a tie between Tensor Magnesium Lite TENs and Thunder Hollow lights for me. But I did experience the same issue with adding different bushings. I also had one pair of bushings break because I tightened them too much (ie. I replaced them with Bones and had to tighten them down hard to make it work, seems in the longrun it may lead to the replacement bushings breaking). I should have filed the bushings down, seems like a workable fix.
I love my tensor trucks but when I first put them on I could not get smooth movements. Very sticky. I threw in the bushings from an old set of thunder trucks I had and now they work great.
I didn't know this about tensor bushings. I am skating a new pair of Tensor's now, Mag Lights. This is my first go on them. That has to feel crazy, going for trick and then your truck is missing😳. Glad you got it worked out and got a session in.
Thanks Anthony! The problem is solved now , it was coming from the nut. I'm back at it today as I finish my breakfast! Let me know what you think about Tensor. I like the way they grind!
I've almost had that happen with the truck falling off. I was skating and then just kicked my board up and thought, damn my trucks are loose and then just checked the nut and it was just about to come off. Screwed it on with my fingers and was back at it. I had to sub out my Tensor bushings because no matter what I did to them they were making a super annoying clicking sound like the interlocking urethane between the two bushings were doing something odd.
@@PHeMoX Me neither hence why I said 'screw it' and replaced them with some Bones Hardcores instead. Also my Tensor bushings would stick to a position if enough pressure was applied. Worst bushings I've ever tried.
The weird sound come for me every time I change for bones bushings. There might be an issue with their nut... I don't want this to happen again. It could have been much worse if I was at full speed on a hip!😱
@@SkateCrisis the loosened nut happened to me too on the Hardcores. But you need to properly engage the lock nut which might mean screwing it on proper tight. If it feels too tight maybe just remove that top washer for more space.
I have Tensor Mag lights, the bushings were too soft for my freestyle setup so I bought some Short Street Cone & Street Cone -4 pack, from Riptide Sports they have regular ABS and Krank formulas lots of different hardnesses , I like the krank. I got the hardest ones for freestyle, they squeak a little don't know if it'll go away with time, only have riddin it once since installing them
I’m so glad to see you back skateboarding my dear friend. I absolutely loved this video. I cannot believe that your skateboard truck fell apart like that however I have had a skateboard truck base plate break in half once before whilst I was skateboarding.
Par un beau soleil, la mécanique fait des siennes, mais la réparation permet de continuer et l'on se rends compte quelle est mise à rude épreuve. Beaucoup de ténacité pour réussir un enchaînement , avec la satisfaction lors de la réussite . C'est beau la passion !!
@@SkateCrisis Quel modèle de Tensor as-tu? J'ai toujours voulu essayer les Tensor Mag light, mais la version Lo, qui sont plus bas que leur modèle AllTerrain
@@SkateCrisis Went on the website, but i forgot to order it :D bought an backup skateboard,griptape berrings oil and vax xD. alot of great stuff on skatepro
back on the board, what a start! At first i thought your kingpin broke, Luckily not and you could skate - My kingpin broke while warming up few weeks ago - so i had only a 10 min session :D So how are the trucks and bushings beside that they are loose at first?
Haha that was a good start yes! Breaking material in the beginning of a sesh is pretty annoying. I try to bring a second board with me in the car(when I remember it)
HELLO ! Super de te revoir sur le skate, récupères bien. Le kickflip, essayes de gratter vers le haut (vraiment) , le genou plié doit dépasser l'avant du skate (le + possible) au moment du pop + grattage. Regardes les slow motion kickflip sur youtube, c'est impressionnant at comment les gars grattent vers le haut tout le mouvement A bientôt.
Salut David! Oui j'ai vu mes ralentis et tu as tout à fait raison ! Je m'y attelle aujourd'hui ! Comment va le skate en Bretagne ? Ta fille a dû faire de gros progrès ?
😂 Never seen that happen, that's bad! Have you tried loctite to secure the nut? Also I didn't know that you can only use Tensor bushings, good to know as I recently switched to Tensor trucks. PS Your helmet looks really cool.
Ace trucks slogan is "Loose trucks save lives", but I think you have gone a bit too far with those loose trucks man! 😅 Awesome to get a skate video from you! I have skated and enjoyed indys, thunders, ace, tensor and even Avenues suspension trucks. Right now I have one setup with indys and one with thunders. You are killing it with the slides Laurent. I actually tried a couple of slappy nose slides today, but even that scare me! 😅 I will try and embrace my inner Laurent next time and see if that helps! Awesome video man, and you were really close to landing the kickflip! Keep at it!
Thank you Magnus! It felt really good to skate again. Men you tried them all! I also have an Indy setup for bowl riding. I'm having my coffee now and I'll go for another sesh!
Simply not true I didnt like the stock bushings so I put medium shorty's barrel cones in and they work fine. The bottom washer cuts into the bottom barrel a bit but they ride better.
I tried with bones and the result was not satisfying with a really annoying "knak!" sound. Good to know that it works well Shorty's. I will try if I can find some. Thx for your feedback man!
@@SkateCrisis yessir. I get the click as well but I think its the shitty top washer. The tensor trucks weigh half as much as the indys tho. The top shortys bushing kinda formed into that special shape after a while but is a little squashed. I need hard bushings but cant find any online. Being a bigger dude you probably need hard as well. But the clicking goes away eventually
@@SkateCrisis yeah, if you take off the top washer you can see where the metal is chewed by the washer a bit. That's the clicking. I use wax there. No click. Nice skating btw. I just started at 42. Got ollies, pop shuvs, railstand kickflips, and slappies! Check my instagram @jmacdizzle55
Thunder pour moi 😁
Idem !
J'aime bien aussi. Mais maintenant je suis marié aux Tensor et Indy's pour le bowl!
@@SkateCrisis Indy j’aimerai tester mais peut être quand j’aurai terminé mes thunder

@@TheAntiCasper I haven't tried the aluminium ones. Do they have the same "All terrain" geometry?
@@hamellsk8 I like Tensor trucks for Street skating but I keep my Indy's for transitions. I love the way they turn in bowls.
I use bones bushings in my mag light lows, no problems at all
Ok, with my both pairs, I had this weird sound like "knak knak" when I turn. But they were not low ones. Or it's maybe because I ride too loose? 😬
I love my tensor trucks but when I first put them on I could not get smooth movements. Very sticky. I threw in the bushings from an old set of thunder trucks I had and now they work great.
They are pretty good trucks but as you said it takes some time before breaking in the bushings...

It'll be interesting to hear what you think of them, knowing those are probably quite a bit lighter than what you used before? :)
@@PHeMoX so far, right off the shelf I really like them. I didn't even really tighten them.
Thanks Anthony! The problem is solved now , it was coming from the nut. I'm back at it today as I finish my breakfast! Let me know what you think about Tensor. I like the way they grind!
@@SkateCrisis so far best off the shelf truck I have skated. I think I may have given them a half turn adjustment.

You had a great session to say you have just come off the back of an injury. It was good to see you back ripping.
Thank you Matt! But the ankle is still in pain. I had a quick sesh yesterday and today my ankle is strapped...
noseslide king! good to see you back!
Thank you Palen! Have you ever loose a truck like this?
@@SkateCrisis yes, many times. but never with thunder 😂
@@UNDERFLIPED 😁
I use thunder bushings with my tensors, and they work just fine :)
Good to know, thx!
That was crazy when the front truck fell apart - would have been even crazier if you manualed out lol Good to see you back, Laurent :D
Thx Mike! Yeah I could have done a viral video with that! Haha! 🤣
I have Tensor Mag lights, the bushings were too soft for my freestyle setup so I bought some Short Street Cone & Street Cone -4 pack, from Riptide Sports they have regular ABS and Krank formulas lots of different hardnesses , I like the krank.

Ok, I didn't know that brand, I'll check it out!👍🏼
Good to see you back at it😎👍
Thank you Josh! It feels so good even if it still hurts a bit!
I’m so glad to see you back skateboarding my dear friend. I absolutely loved this video. I cannot believe that your skateboard truck fell apart like that however I have had a skateboard truck base plate break in half once before whilst I was skateboarding.
Breaking a base plate is pretty hard! I broke once one corner of a base where the Noseslides are hitting. What was the truck brand you broke?
@@SkateCrisis The trucks were a hybrid of a "Tensor" base plate and a "Silver" truck hanger.
@@WarrenLeeds That's a strange combination! ^^
That was odd. I thought it was a broken kingpin at first. Glad to see you out skating. 🤘
Oh yes it was! Specially that I lost the nut and upper bushing pretty far from the ledge! Thx for the support Gebs!
So hard to loose the Truck while boardsliding 😱 favorite trucks: Venture 🤩
That's a new trick!🤣 I never tried Venture.
Still throwing it down even though the truck came apart 👌🔥
It was a surprise! ^^
Hey man where did you get the helmet from? , awesome skating by the way
Thanks man! It's a Mystic Shiznit Helmet, initially made for water sports.
I use different rubbers. I was wondering if it matters I haven't had any trouble
I tried different bushings too but my trucks started to make a really weird noise...

Can you do a update on how the trucks are lasting? if u still have them after 7 months
They are still in a very good shape. Here is a picture if you want to check. instagram.com/p/CVFk6DWMIzE/?

about that, bushings is smth i need to order soon :p
