Skateboard Trucks: Grind King 6 Trucks 5.0 Silver

Back To Skateboard Articles

I got these skateboard trucks on my current skate set-up. The Gring King 5.0 I got are 2 years old and have been on more then 20 different decks. Grind King Trucks have always been one of the best trucks to get. These trucks got a 7.5 inch axle with a 5 inch hanger for tons of grinding room. Another great feature about these trucks is that the kingpin is lower a good half inch below the surface on the hanger. This allows you to grind your trucks as much as you want. Even grind them down so much you grind through the axle that goes through the middle (it's been done!).

These trucks have a history of axles slipping. The GK's I got have never slipped and my trucks have taken a huge beaten over the years. I found one weak quality of these trucks, and thats there stock bushing they come with, there horrible and bubble and pop after a few weeks or skating. So when you grab up a pair of GK trucks grab a DOH-DOH bushing kit and everything will be all good.
