Aera Trucks

[streetheap]

At first you would think so... But take a look at the pivot pin, bushing seat, and how they relate to each other. That right there, boyo, is a different geometry.

I get it.
Cool trucks.

[Belak4life]

This CAN happen... If you don't take into account the action of flipping the hangers... Not to let all the secrets out, but the bushing seat IS in fact in line with the pivot, the axles however... Are not. This allows for some differing geometry as per the flip as well as lowering your ride height significantly while in the flipped position.

So, wait whats the purpose for the axles not being in line with the bushing seat/pivot? More turn when unflipped?


Off topic but I heard you stopped by at our local shop weeks ago and were signing autographs for the local kids haha

Those look sick. love the simplicity.

[GravityRider15]

The trucks look cool, but I must say, you do know how to work a camera. I love the lighting.

[Ironspork]

Goddamnit, now I need to find a new method to add strength...

I love innovation, but K-Rimes beat me to the punch on the pocketed face. Gah.

it allows for the offset to affect the turn and ride height when in different positions, like k-rimes said

please don't turn this into the "ican has test them pl0x?" like that chocolate trucks thread did it might get in the way of real information.

I understand what you are saying, BUT the difference between some Douchebag looking for free sh!t and a Longboard retailer who has owned/tested an example of just about every DH truck, has a good knowledge of how skate trucks work, IS significant.
After re-reading the first post it looks like these trucks are made in Canada!
I'm stoked.

Look good..
And I can't really say from the pics.. but are they raked like Randal, or is the seat aligned like a Bear Grizzly?
Krisp looking hangars fo shore, either way

[igotscars]

^^^agreed however it seems everyone copies randals. I have yet to see anything extremely innovative except for Confeds and Zealous trucks.

fyre trucks?

saying these trucks are rip-offs of randals is like saying orangatang copied abec 11 by making a round wheel. Randal invented the reverse kingpin design for high-speed riding in the mid 90s(i think)...anyway, if something works well, why change it? How much can you really change a truck? its gotta be a truck......I mean JimZ ripped off a Randal DH truck when he started making his trucks 6-7 years ago. slight difference in ride height and hanger width...Kahalani ripped off a randal r-2 just changed the degree of the kingpin a bit....the ONLY truck that I've seen that is truely a unique design is some blurry cell-phone pics of some trucks that SkunkWerks and Rob Mc Kendry are working on.

in the end, its all good, the amount of precision trucks coming out now is insane compared to when i started getting into this whole thing like 9 years ago..so more choices for EVERYONE!

[SpeedFiend]

is Patrick, great name btw, paying you to promote his trucks on this website?

[K-Rimes]

Nope, these are my trucks, and I'm promoting them.

[tomahawk]

i don't know if it has been said, but what is the angle of the baseplate...

please say 45....

Looks like it but lets see what the creator has to say

[K-Rimes]

46˚... Just a bit more turn than lean... Stable feet makes for a stable ride, but they turn when you need them. I like it.
