The soft blue bushings are perfect for my cruiser setup with soft wheels. Smoothest ride I’ve ever had and they have a tight turning radius when I carve hills. They feel way lighter then Indy’s this size. You need these on your big board!

Cheap trucks that do the trick and aren’t too heavy (bushings are crazy soft)

Thunder Trucks Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (149)

I bought these ones because Thunder was rated one of the best tucks in 2018 and I thought that it would be a good idea to try them. They are kind of heavy and I read that when you are learning is better to get lighter ones, let's see, so far so good!

Classic for a reason

Thunder Trucks Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (145 hi)

Thunder hi is a time tested truck. The design is simply good -- good handling and inherently light. My first set had white bushings that were fine, these came with blue which were too soft for me so I switched them to Bones medium and I was set. Interestingly, Thunder hi is actually a relatively low truck.

Asked by James on 5/3/2018

I have a 8.38" deck. What size would be best for this set up? 148's or 149's?

Answered by Graig A (Tactics Employee) on 5/3/2018

Either truck would work fine but the 149 will be closer to the width of your board and is what we would recommend unless you are considering sizing down below 8.25 on your deck size in the near future.
