this guy's legit. everybody should take him seriously, these trucks are gunna be sweet

Thanks Taylor. everything so far is going according to plan to make sure these trucks are being produced by febuary. by next week the mold should be atleast paid for to be made to start pouring the aluminum into.

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!11!!!!1one!!!!11!!!11!1!9!

wait till i get a camera to take some photos, the base even follows through with the hangers bat design, i took off all the ugly mold excess, and removed the ugly center peice on the base( the one between the kingpin and pivot hole so it's nice and smooth) it's really going to be unique and going to accent any board you guys have, its better than having chrome or just raw metal. any other suggestions on what should be done to improve the trucks other than tapered hanger ends and thicker base plates? i need to know before next week before i start making the mold. also i'm planning on making steel/aluminum/brass wheels (can be painted to match trucks) called Locha Wheels. you decide what metal you prefer and can have it in either painted or raw..

I'd consider paying the money if they looked nice IF you hadn't gone for the kreeper style (a very old brand of skateboard truck if you're too young to have heard of them) hanger. Not feeling the 'bat' design at all.. And it sounds like a hell of a lot that your trucks will do for the price..

Got any pics that weren't done on paint? Sketchup designs or something?

Either way, I look forward to seeing this, just a shame you picked a weird shape.

actually far from to young for kreeper my dear friend, i'm 19, i used to be on FFI from 01'-06', i got a cocaine board from Martin & Tiny from 06' left. older than most these guys FB careers. and it's kinda modeled off a kreeper, but im making sure it's my own to avoid copyright, i figure it's unique enough and different enough to attract the eye and be %100 effective rather than faulty like i heard about +BRR+ trucks. sure it's simalar but not the same. i'd like some constructive critisism or " Improvements" before i cast the mold.

all sounds great, but you have not made them yet, and already your speaking of them as if they are greater than brts............shoot your mouth off when you have the product to back it up.........not something your thinking/trying to do....

you have a hell of a lot to live up to now...if they are not anything more than amazing i will be disappointed....

oh yeah, and pictures or it didn't happen.....

also i think metal/brass wheels are a bad idea.....back 15/20 years ago we had brass wheels on our precision boards...at the time they were OK....but i soon swapped them for micro machine wheels because they were just too dam heavy....and my few friends who fingerboarded with me thought it was the way to go too........but aluminum wheels could be good....depending on weight....

but it all does sound very interesting......now do it, and show us pics and progress instead of words like every other kid with half an idea on here.

Oh, you're 19? Fair enough, sorry if I was insulting/rude by assuming you were young
But, yea, I'm just not feeling the kreeper shape, never liked them as a kid. If you wanna go for something like it though, make it as flowy as possible and less pointy, I think people will like that. And I really do look forward to seeing some progress from these!

haha this guys been letting me in on some of his ideas, and youre seriously gunna be impressed. i dont think im allowed to give it away quite yet though

The point of the comercial is hype. i want imput, feedback, comments,complaints anything i need to make sure these trucks hold up to the abuse that's why i'd like to hear some pro's and con's of other trucks from you guys so it can be something that the others are not. i'll be getting photo's asap so it's not just a n00b-like pipe dream leaving you guys rolling your eyes. I need some feedback before these go into production so right out the gate they're excellent. I'm also going to be offering re-threading for ALL trucks. when my trucks are out if you buy my trucks free re-threading for your trucks you bought and any others you have, just send $2 for shipping, kind of a customer appreciation to say thanks.

Fair Enough but i didn't run my mouth someone interviewed me on FINGERBOARDSPOT and made an artical for me which helps me alot to advertise for more feedback & i'll hopefully get a picture of the demo and when im going to get the mold i'll post pictures of the mold.Also i know it's way to early to toot my horn of how amazing they're going to be, if not childish of me but i have pure confidence with the people i'm working with to make the perfect truck for everyone to love specially how i'm trying to make the concept revolve around feedback and imput of fingerboarders to try to make the truck better than BRR. That's why i'd like some constructive critisism and if you guys got any ideas or complaints of the other trucks ( i.e. tech deck, BRR,Primo(if anyone remembers them) that i can hopefully improve because lets face it, if your going to spend good money on a product to work, it better damn work.

And i was thinking brass simply on a cheap concept of a cat, heavy on the bottom so it always lands on its feet but if its junk and it's already been done then i wont even bother, i know eurollts used to be steel and i was in love with them but they sometimes made my board over flip.

No worries, it doesn't post my age so how would you know, i'm new to the forum and it's natural to think a kid.i'm from the era of Gopal,raymond riviera(vegas boards),josh toy, jay linhan,erik bratsburg(rawr ramps),moses sanchez(epidemic wheels/primo trucks),martin and tina. i always liked kreeper simply because they're unique and original compaired to the plain jane trucks and that's about it, theyre trucks were pretty bad. and ever since the mold isn't made yet i might make a rounder version and see how it turns out, i still have an intire week to decide before my paycheck comes in to pay for the mold.

well said

josh toy

woah man josh isnt done yet, hes still cool. hes just waaay too busy with stuff for razor, hes got like no time to fb anymore

thanks, and he's always been wraped up in his sponsor, it's a big deal for him. last time i checked he went to NY and talked to moses about his trucks and wheels and sorted out all the mess moses left with all the orders he didn't fill.

I am really interested to see how they turn out. 35.00 dollars is a bit steep but its a hell of alot better than 70.00 for brr trucks, I would like to own a set of brr but when your 28 married with two kids you don't get to blow that kinda cash, so it would be nice if there were some comparable trucks in my price range. I also think the aluminum wheels are a good idea myself.They would really be good for outdoors.One question on the wheels, will they be bearing wheels or non-bearing.

Sounds good!!! Sounds like theyre going to be awesome!

oh god! does no one read the dates anymore!!

the video was kinda crappy and i wouldn't buy trucks that looked like kreepers no way!(make them like indys and i will buy;) ) pictures would be nice? so far imo it seems unlegit but everything sounds good cant wait to see the actual trucks nice to see someone is making a truck rather than selling wides

Fucking hell read the date!
