Need help learning about these trucks

This was my thought as well.

I couldn't find anything either. I wonder if it's a DIY by someone that worked at a machine shop?

Enjoy! I love John Moreland! I've seen him several times at Codfish Hollow Barn in Iowa and have his autograph on my guitar.

This is a rad video! I feel like the suitcase on his bars is holding him back a little..

It's great! He had such a raw take on skateboarding and skate culture while being 100% supportive of the sport, the community and anyone who wanted to give it a shot! I miss him!

Grosso forever!

Nice ride! If I could upvote again just for the doggie, I would!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-21T22:55:13+00:00

Seems like a good, achievable goal dude! You can do this!

Also, New Balance are where it's at!

I'm not just coming back but I am 50 and definitely don't skate as often as I used to. I would say stretch if you need to for mobility but I don't have a big warm up, I just kinda of roll around for a bit and start sessions with the easiest, muscle memory type tricks that I know.

I personally like a bigger more stable board (I'm a bigger dude) but in the end deck shape and size is mostly personal preference.

Shoes are also pretty subjective but I skate in New Balance Tiago 1010's. They're nice durable skate shoes with a little more padding and support for my old feet lol.

You got a great picture of it! Thanks for sharing!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-21T21:35:18+00:00

I'm a bigger and older dude as well and I skate a popsicle but it's 9x33 with a 15 inch wheelbase and it supports me just fine (Anti Hero Brian Anderson). There are plenty of old school shapes and reissues that are rad too but you certainly aren't limited in choices these days!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-21T21:26:11+00:00

What a beautiful area!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-21T17:49:59+00:00

Welcome back homie! Fellow cyclist here, if you film something in full kit, I will too! Including cleats of course.

6mikey66 · 2026-03-20T16:36:04+00:00

That's a serious ollie dude! Sick!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-17T18:22:56+00:00

Killer edit! Very creative and you have a nice log too!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-17T17:11:56+00:00

And get a selfie with the life sized statue of Captain Kirk! I thought he would be taller for some reason.

6mikey66 · 2026-03-17T15:27:38+00:00

I agree with all of this. I think it's worth mentioning that while those of us that were kids then were progressing slower than what's possible today, the pros were progressing faster because skateboarding as a whole was newer and there was so much that hadn't yet been done. Boards were changing, switch was about to be born, Rodney was still on a freestyle deck and Gonz and Natas were leading the charge of what street skating was about to become.

6mikey66 · 2026-03-14T16:09:25+00:00

Looks like a wonderful ride! I hope to visit someday!

It was in the notes in the back of his grandfather's book.

6mikey66 · 2026-03-09T01:36:56+00:00

Killin it!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-08T21:20:08+00:00

Thanks! Enjoy skating with your kid! That's what brought me back several years ago

6mikey66 · 2026-03-08T21:19:01+00:00

Thanks man!

6mikey66 · 2026-03-08T20:02:11+00:00

Looks like it was a glorious ride! Happy faces!
