lol i just was saying that i don't like them, and another reason is how they are the leading profit makers in the truck industry, and i would rather support another company, that doesnt make as much profit.

i ONLY buy Royal Trucks..... cause im light enough to not split them in half and they are SUper light!
I ONLY ride Spitfires, no explanation needed (55 size)
i ONLY ride size 8 decks, PERFECT (im 5'8 130lbs)..... used to only ride BlackMagic Grip but now i dont care
Bearings well go high abec with a decent price
obvi its up to you, youll find the set up you dig sooner than later
Thank you all so much for the great advice and feedback!
I've made a few changes based on what you have all told me. I'm going to switch out the thunders for some independents, seeing as the majority of you find them to work well for you. I had originally planned on getting bones bearings but was kind of wavering on what to choose. I'll be switching to bones though now. As for wheels, I'm having a hard time finding a sort of middle ground for the durometer so I still need a bit of advice as far as that goes. I have changed the wheels from bones with an 83durometer to spitfires with a 99durometer. I'll probably be spending the majority of my time at a skatepark with this board, if that helps.
Here are the changed parts

WHOA WAIT
BONES ARE HARDER
BONES ARE 83B
SPIT 99A
if u convert it into to the a scale it is approx 103 a
reason they use b scale is on the bones site
*learned this from working at exo skte shop
nice to see ur gona get a board smurfs
and i agree with m7 hobbs that post was dumb
indy are some of the cheapest trucks where i work at
some thunders are the most expensive
axle and kingpin nuts always come included
smurfs u should ask ur shop if grip and hardware come included(where i work at jessup black grip and bulk plain hardware is included with any and every board)
size 8 should be good
id recommend getting mini logo or bones reds since it is a lot cheaper cost and better price than the diamond
thats pretty much what i gotta say
yes that is me and tyler the creator
the more expensive spitfires are nice but i love bones because they dont flat spot so easily. i swear ive ridden spitfire for like 5 out of the 8 years ive skated and all my spitfires get all yellow and small within like a couple months of just me powersliding on flat. i mean if you dont powerslid ethen i guess but usually they get worn down quicker. havent switched back since going to bones, which mine are still white and round even after 4 months.
and theeves are the most expensive and are the lightest but just get indy's. those with bones bearings are golden. i dont like the idy bushing because they are too soft, even though i ride the blue bones bushing which are the softest. its just how they turn i guess.
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
