DEMAND
Over the past decade the evolution of skating has
exploded into a new realm. Board design changed
with this rapid pace while truck manufacturers
seemed to ignore the needs of the skaters. The
outdated industry standard kingpinnut system, the
inconsistent grinding qualities of T6 Aluminum
along with premature wear and breakage are just a
few of the shortcomings present in conventional
skateboard trucks today. Altering the turning
radius and changing hanger colors are not valid
enough to match today's level of skating. Progression
in skating won't wait on equipment stagnation. As
long as skaters except archaic design, nothing will
change
Demand as much from your trucks as you would
yourself. Demand the new Gordon & Smith Phase li
4130 Chromolly Truck, the skateboard truck that has
defied the norm.
