| You said you don't have enough money for y's or brt's yet, have you seen chemistry trucks? There shaped trucks made by Sean Witman. He has 28mm($18) and 32mm($20).The 32mm ones also feature bushings and locknuts. Here's a link to his website: http://chemistryfingerboards.weebly.com/ |

| He didn't ask where to buy shaped trucks, he didn't ask what trucks to get. He simply asked for tips, tricks and pics to shape his own. The solution is not always buying stuff. Fingerboarding needs way more DIY, cause then the companies will have to step up their game. $20 for a pair of china trucks is insane, even though they are shaped. I haven't shaped my own trucks, but as you probably know, the idea is to make the hanger thinner so that it can go inside the wheel without touching anything else than the bearing. Northwoods sells some shaped trucks they call Flux. I like their look: http://northwoodsfb.com/Official_Website/trucks.html |

| There are 3 methods to shape trucks.
1. Using files 2. Fine Sandpaper 3. Using a drill as a lathe. You put the hanger in the part for the drill bit, Turn it on and file away at the trucks to make it circle. |
