It costs money to make trucks that small. Supporting China products is supporting people who capitalize on fingerboarding, that's why most people don't mind dishing out the extra cash. They'd rather support people who love fingerboarding. The money goes into making good fingerboard products anyway, rather than a website owner's pocket. But, of course, if money is too precious to you...

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure those Skull trucks will be just as wide as your current 4CFB trucks.

Just saw that setup your getting schade and it looks absolutely perfect

sure you can, but the wheels will wobble in most cases. I'd use washers and glue the nuts.

also.. look at where it goes.. the money goes back into the community and not some giant slave driving corporations pocket. They host all the events and tour with the team and do all kinds of kool shit to help spread fingerboarding.   

And if ur planning on making an upgrade from 4corner you'll be fine with just a new deck since buying new china stuff won't be an upgrade at all :/

Yeah man I did think about that, but having 2 set ups complete would be good cause I can easily alternate

It wont be alternating cause skull fingerboards are EXACTLY the same as 4corner.

I'm guilty of buying China stuff, both from Skull and FBUK, but before I was aware of any scene and all the companies involved.

I can't even use those things anymore, the kicks are stupid you need to sand them down to make the board usable, I don't know how I managed to use them for the length of time I did, I thought they were amazing, then I got a Yellowood and some BRTs.

Just buy a TDLB or a TD old school shape that comes with 29mm hangers then tune them yourself, and you could shape them yourself too if you can be bothered.

Or, goto NorwoodProject and buy a set of the painted 29mm trucks Pete sells for £2.

A board upgrade from his CURRENT 4CF board is what the guy meant, not an upgrade to a 4CF.

Edit

Sorry, I misread what you wrote Mikkel.

My friend is using a Frost with China CNCs and China wides, and it's a great setup, a new board will make a difference, those 4CF, Skull, FBUK, are crap.

Has anybody ordered and received some Y X4 raws? Im wondering if they come with a tool to adjust the kingpin. The product description says it only comes with the trucks and 4 regular nuts no hardware but that hex pin isn't a common tool everybody's got like a TD tool is so how else would you adjust the kingpin?

I guess you just have to buy one off the y trucks website if it doesnt come with one

As far as I can tell though they don't sell just the tool, only Ykeys which are currently sold out. Seems like poor planning on Y trucks part, oh well.

You might be able to find someone on fbhq that would sell one

Ys come with the tool.

He's talking about the raws, i'm pretty sure there's no tool included

Do they not come with 2 torx keys?

I didn't unbox any Raws personally, so i'm not 100% sure. But i've heard from several sources there's nothing included. The Ytrucks site also says "AutoBlock nuts, and hardware NOT included!"

So I ordered some Oak Wheels & Blackriver trucks from FBUK.

Does anyone know if they're legit?

From my understanding, no it's not. His name was Isaac or something, idk. He was also from Canada. I talked with him a few times.

The factory of BRR is in a few states away from California, I am sure. So it should take a few days!
