Personally, I think you should buy a 16-wheeler. More efficient truck in my opinion
420th like lmao
Yess
I skate an f150 size truck
I think you have a great point
Lmao
I just don't use trucks when I skate
I don't use skate when I skate

Thunder sizing is more like this:
145: 7.38 to 7.9
147: 7.75 to 8.25
148: 8.0 to 8.4
149: 8.25 to 8.625
151: 8.5+
161: 8.75+
i think you meant 145 for the first one because you wrote 147 twice. but another thing i'd like to note is that, you can rock trucks that are no more than half of an inch too small, specifically if you have wider wheels. i had some thunder 145s on an 8.25 and had some wide 54mm conical wheels, put the washers on the inner side, added a small riser pad, and it helped balance it out a ton. it felt normal. actually made it turn way better, especially since they were thunders but if you like tight trucks, just get some really hard bushings and you're good
The goat
Yo quick question. 145 or 148 for an 8.25 board? New skater :P
@@Santi29o 148s are recommended for an 8.25. i ride an 8.25 too but i use 147s. i find that if you go down a size you turn better and it also means your board is lighter. but thats my preference. 148s would make it feel more stable, sturdy, and solid. i actually used to rock 145s on my 8.25. i commented about it above. only downside imo is less room to grind.
but i will say that 148 trucks are a really versatile size just in case you wanna go down or up a board size.
-chase thanks bro!
what confused me when i bought my board was trucks measured in mm while boards in inches
At 4:15 you can see how long Justin felt that sneeze coming! xD
Yeah lol
Nice
Wow thanks!
LoL
only part of the video worth watching
I think you guys forgot Venture's size scale:
5.0 is a 7.62" axle
5.2 is an 8.0" axle
5.6 is an 8.25" axle
5.8 is an 8.5" axle
6.1 is an 8.75" axle
Edit: Had to change the comment since the catalog for Venture trucks changed a little bit since I first posted this comment
Life saver
thank you for sharing :)
I’m using a 5.0 truck for my 8.25 deck
@@juliansky7989 How is it so far?
@@korypeterson4992 wdym so far?
A normal skater wants trucks that approximate deck width. The deck acts as a lever to rotate the truck around the pivot. Narrower trucks are more responsive to pivot; wider are less responsive. Narrower trucks are light; wider trucks are stable. To balance these considerations, the truck width should match the board.
math pog asf😎😎
i used to skate 10 years ago, and now i surf and do mtb. Thanks to your videos im thinking of buying a skateboard. great videos man props
Royal size chart also applies to some cheaper brands:
5.0 for 7.4-7.9
5.25 for 7.75-8.25
5.5 for 8.25 and over
Their system is based on hanger width without the axle

Thanks Braille for motivating me to skate again for the first time in four years. Spent the day trying to relearn the basics like ollie and kickflip and I had a lot of fun.
That kid looks like a bootleg young john hill
Except hes not Asian 🙈
agreed
first thing i thought when i saw him.
Lmao he's cool tho
must be his bro from another mo.
This is the guideline I use.
7.75- 5 in
8- 5.25 in
8.25- 5.5 in
Will a 5.25 fit a 8.25 deck? I can’t find the right size for my board
What about for 8.75 deck? Thanks
@@messimessyyyyy yo , did it fit?
I barely have friends I think and none of them skate
Heart big. Circle small. It's better that way
Little tip: get pretty good, then challenge people at the skate park and become their friend
Khalid Fakhro you’ll be alright buddy
Same here man. I had some till they threw me under the bus now I’m a loaner.
IAmBlazinn sounds like a you problem 😂
This video is better suited for Aaron
I've always thought it was crazy how much a skater can tell the difference in a quarter inch, when your skating a 7.75 looks and feels way smaller than an 8 when in actuality a quarter inch is a tiny difference like half the width of a dime difference.
I love my Enjoi impact 8.25. Its hella light and has held up amazingly well so far. I weight 220 and I am 6'1" and it really takes a beating lol.
here’s my perfect fits:
8.0 - 147
8.25 - 149
8.38 - 151
Braille Skateboarding, I really appreciate how you make your how to skate videos. I really didn't know how to skate, but since I watched your tutorials I learned. I love ur vids, hope people support u!😄😀😜😎
I just bought a 7.75 as my first deck in nearly 8 years, just about to start getting back into skating. Already bought SMS Vol.1 as well. Let's see if I can get back into it again :D
I'm re-learning how to skate thanks to Braille and when I was younger I use to skate 7.85 or 8 and was used to it but then before I quit skating because I got frustrated I rode a 8.25 and like it. So that was like 8 years ago and now I've been relearning how to skate and I bought an 8.5 since I'm a lot bigger than I was so I thought size 8 trucks will fit so I got destructo lows really stable but to small so I switched to 151 thunders and the stability is awesome finally got the ollie down again. thank Lance and Aaron you're the best a teaching.
I feel like a braille veteran lately. When the videos were shot by the cameraman and Aaron was on cam. Now Aaron seems to be the vip guest appearance and Lance is now in front of the cam rather than behind it. Oh. And that is not a complaint. That is Lance progressing and having the time to be a fun RUclipsr
Question: I'm getting back into skating for the first time in 10 years. I need to know what kind of bushing I should use to have tight trucks? The bushing on my trucks are garage and feel so loose even after tightening them down. I used to skate for hours everyday and your videos are really helping get back out there! Thanks for the awesome vids!
People working at skate shops in my country usually dont know shit about skateboard gear in general, it's kinda annoying
i remember one time I walked into the Vans store and asked for Reds and she had no clue wtf i was talking about
but then again, is vans even a skateshop? or more of a shoe store?
Uncle Bernard They only sell vans equipment lmao like shoes or merch
_takerru thats not all they sell. they sell wheels and bearings and trucks and cruiser completes.
or at least the ones that I go to.
i know the vans outlets don't.
Uncle Bernard Oh okay cus in my local mall there are mostly shoes and clothing
+_takerru just looked it up:
www.vans.com/skate-pro-shop.html
I usually skate an 8-8.25 board and I'm a size 14 shoe. 8's I can do treflips easily but on 8.25 I can land stuff easier. Its all about preference and I like to change it up every once in awhile
No normal civilian needs trucks that big. Ban assault trucks now.
fuck u on about bruv
trucks as in the vehicle, and the guy who killed a bunch of people in Nice, France.
Lol
holy shit boys
s p i c y b o i
So weird don't know if I'm just miss-remembering but I'm pretty sure that back in the height of my skating in 2005 everyone was riding 7.5-7.75 and me Riding an 8 was pretty unusual and 8.1 and 8.2 where impossible to buy unless you bought an old school styled golden dragon or something.
Lance my family love's the braille crew and all of the info. We would love to see more equipment review and opinions on setups for different ride styles. The RUclips skateboarding reviews we watched from other's are filmed poorly and don't contain much info. Yes we can all look it up on Google but watching your favorite crew explain it in a fun way is better.
Lance, big love, but we all have google on our phones dude. Truck size charts are super easy to find. Insight would be experienced skaters telling us why they use trucks slightly wider then their board, or exactly the same width, or slightly smaller. What difference does it make, etc. The 20 seconds where Gabe talks about using lows (7:20) is the one part of this video that is genuinely helpful. More chat like this please.
"Do you guys sell griptape" 😂
I’m new to skating, why can’t you buy grip tape at a shop?
Nicolaas Boot you can bro i just did today some mob grip tape you just need to find the right shop
I got Jessup tape today from slam City
Hey guys I would say that choosing a board as a complete beginner is super hard since u dont really know what u really like at all. Guees thats why people tempt to buy a comeplete board where everything is surpose to fitt together "like a gloove xD". Anyways i personally feel that the best way to choose, is to pick ur board size first, as u sorta also went over. After that u start with a truck size thats a llitle narrower then the deck size. After that u kinda get the feeling whether u wanna go to a smaller truck or a wider truck size :D i think the wheel type is depending on what type of skating ur prefer
freaking sweet video guys, i like ur so down to earth meanwhile being super diversity in ur viewer group (Y)
so did the shop sell griptape?
Accidentally got a 147 for a 7.5 board
The blonde guy asked the perfect question about how does that even work that one truck model covers such a wide range of deck widths but too bad the middle guy sabotaged him
I've seen you before. You commented on an old Cure video clip lol.
@@surfthestreets86 huge The Cure fan yes.
Will my 139 indys fit a 8.25?
Edit: he answered my question lol but I just don’t feel right about it
U can rock 129 indy trucks perfect for 8.0 deck, i did that, no problem
Don’t do this
The guys @ my local shop, as well as Thunder Trucks themselves told me that the 147's in fact can go with a 8.25 deck, and that I could either go with the 147's or 149's for a 8.25 deck. I bought them and they feel fine. Just FYI.
5:17 that was exactly what i was thinking. how doest that work?
I got an 8.62. It's too much. Next board I am going to stay between 8 and 8.5
Do a video with the Carbon Fiber Sk8 board, non abrasive griptape and suspension trucks with spitfire wheels and bones swiss bearing, as a complete deck. I'll send the bones swiss if you put together the rest.
stfu
I was lucky enough to buy a 33 pair of ace trucks for my first ones with a 8" board, rides easy
I’m getting the same trucks should I get classics, lows, or highs of that truck?
@@soda9907 i got the highs but honestly i wish i went with clasics looking back
Dabin Buh thank you so much for responding. I was wondering because on tactics they were gonna start selling highs in august for like $30 something dollars but I think it’s better to pay the $40-50 for classics
you didn't even mention indy 149s. Most of my mates skate 8.4"-8.6" decks with 149s. We exist people.
a friend of mine used to describe decks this big as "aircraft carriers"
Dude right
Most important thing is the axle length which basically tells you how wide your board should be or atleast very close to that. I only skated thunders and dont bother looking up indy sizes but this is Thunders: 145's, 7.75" / 147's, 8.0" / 148's, 8.25" / 149's, 8.5"
I'd like to see you guys skating with crocs
Look it up they did it already.
Just snapped my first board today on a three stair im making progress.
Gabe you are my Idol 4real 💣💣 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Same!
Hey Lance I'm 5'11" and 511 ounces. What should I ride only for this month?
ok
L
Try 666
8.0 deck with 53 mm wheels and trucks that match the deck
I thought it said 511 pounds LOL
Would there be any noticeable difference if I use 7.75 on an 8? I got 7.75 but I'm ordering an 8 board like today, just want to know
+Braille Skateboarding i tried skateboarding a while go, i was not learning the right way though. I got really good at pushing on the board but my feet were all messed up, my front foot stayed in the pushing position and my back foot was sideways, i got too used to that position and it made it really hard to try the correct way. my feet made it hard to turn and it made it even Harder to turn with the fact that my trucks were so tight, i didin't know how to loosen them though, i did not have a skate tool at the time. But now that i found Braille i am going to try skateboarding made simple with a ReVive board and thunder trucks. I am going to buy a board first, then get some amgrip and try tricks on carpet with shoes, just to get the feel of the board. Then i will put my hardware and trucks on with some bones red bearings and try my best with skateboarding made simple. Thank you guys so much and i will comment when i am great at skateboarding!!! cause i know i will be with your guys help. Thanks :D
same setup!!!
I don't get the 8 trend.. I use 7.75 and have a size 12 shoe.. never have I had an issue with my feet staying on my deck.
Adam Darnell I don't think it's a trend Im pretty sure it's just prefrance
I'm going back to 7.5 from 7.75
I skate an 8.5 just fine haha
need more reps no street skating haha
need more reps all boards weigh the same once they’re in open air getting flicked or scooped I just like having more options on where to set my feet for tricks
the question that Justin asked about how one size of trucks applies to all sorts of size boards is exactly what people are trying to say when they ask "what size trucks should i get". any way you could get more in depth with this topic?
Garrett free video, whew we're safe for this one.
+MultiJohnnyBravo Safe from Garret... It's literally the first thing he said
Yea safe from what?

Thx i h8 that noodle head
I skate an 8.5 and wear a size 9 shoe.... and can do a good 360 flip
I want to start skating I'm also size 9 and do you know what size of deck I can buy and truck
Since when is this a channel about lance and his friends where's Aaron
lance might as well do daily vlogs
stop crying you little baby
doing kickflips on San Fransisco bay area?
Aaron has been filming

I literally use a penny trucks on a size 8 board , I just like the feels of turnings more than normal skate trucks

hey you guys should do a video on how to remove and re apply old gripe tape on a skate deck, there are some videos on how to but i feel like you guys would be a lot more in depth! love you guys thank you for what you do!
i thought justin was John hill at the beginning
Truck height along with wheelbase, tail length, and tail steepness define how the pop of a board feels. That's what he felt when riding high trucks. You can counter that by going for a smaller wheelbase board or maybe a longer / less steep tail. Given that you have enough force in your pop, a higher truck results in much higher popped tricks. That's why I prefer a slightly larger wheelbase with Thunder Highs.
"Do you sell grip tape" Lance in a skate shop.
Those 129,135,145 aren't random numbers. They're actually measurements of the truck "hanger" in millimeters. they correlate directly to the board width, they're just in different units. Some truck brands are metric, others are imperial, but the sizes are the same.
Stupid Skate idea:
Skate after smoking a lot of weed
Mark Campos ong
This is what all skaters do
that's what I do now and I can't seem to land a 360 shuvit lol.... maybe my trucks are too loose
I ride Indy 169's with anything from an 8.25 to an 8.5. I skate street too. Big trucks for the win.
Anybody can helpme? i have a vintage skateboard from 80s with Gullwing Super Pro III HPG IV i need information about this trucks, quality, materials, price stimated? thanks! sorry for my english
I skate Thunder 147 hi's on 8.25 boards, although Thunder recommends 149's for 8.2 inch boards up to 8.4 inch boards. But 147's on 8.25 boards works fine and isn't affecting my skating at all.
I thought they were going to skate them and give them back used and I was like what kind of shops let people do that lol
I still have my old Tensors from about 15 years ago. They are lows. I love them. Need new bushings though. Do a video on that?
I need a Braille shout out
Thank you Braille for explaining this to people that don't understand Truck sizes. But I just don't understand how people who went through puberty still ride 8.0. You have big feet. You need to be riding one that should fit your feet better. I ride a 10.5, but then again, I'm not doing too many flip tricks.
Stick an old sock over that mic, the wind noise is so bad.
No
Cool trick, this is something for the memory banks.
wth is a wind nose
victorlwd
Think you mean noise?
Honestly high trucks are the best for street skating especially going through some really rough terrain
I don't think I've ever even thought about what size my trucks are.
when ingot my first board from a great skate shop near me when I asked what kind of board I should get and they just told me to pick whatever design I liked. I didn't even know about sizes I didn't think of it and I for stuck using a 8.25 when I was like 12... now I skate a 7.75 and I'm 15 but I really wish the skate shop would have helped me out a little bit rather than just telling me to pick a design
sooo... Do skate shops sell grip tape or don't they
Jonathan Harding they do
I'm pretty OCD about truck wheelbase matching the board width EXACTLY, so I pick my boards to match up with my trucks rather than the other way around.
Yeah I was this way too for a lot of years. I'm 48, and I noticed some older guys talking about more stability with axles sticking out just a little. Yeah, I know about landing Primo but this actually puts the contact patch (riding surface) even with the edge of the board. When I realized this it pretty much shattered my exact-line-up thing. Then on the other end of the scale there's Andrew Reynolds that likes the axles slightly a little shorter. I've experimented with this and saw the advantages to that too, the handling was there. Pretty much whatever came to my head my feet could do quickly. But whatever the case, I still do what you said - trucks come first. Companies like Thunder and ACE are a little maddening with their not-going-to-tell-you-the-axle-lengths thing. NHS Fun Factory always gives you as much info as possible, and I wish everyone else did too.
Pretty much this video is pointless if Google is your friend. No offense.
They do that's their job basically.
I agree. Much more interesting video would be about reviewing the actual qualities of individual trucks. Anyone can figure out the size.
But hey, it's Lance. We can't expect any serious advice. The dude made a video about trucks with a lump of ice on them.
I came here to say this, but apparently there's a bunch of people out there who decided to ask Lance for the answer instead of google.
Keep in mind that nowadays people are so lazy that they even forgot how to google something. They just hope it'll be on RUclips instead.
for me is on of the reason i prefer high trucks is no wheel bites! of course curving less around or just get some smaller wheels or just put an riser under it will solve the problem too but, riser have wights which are making the deck heavier and can cause trouble at flipping... so as i like to ride bigger wheels but with less wight it is my preferation to stay at high
lol 1st thing i thought was: "wow John became pretty young." i may need some glasses
Good to know about trucks since they will last the longest of anything.
Guys you've made this exact same video like 4 times. :/
Gets views everytime... $$$
lmfao
They make many same videos because never just look it up to see if they made the video. That's why they used to make the same trick tips a lot and people still demand it lol
because people keep asking the same questions, no matter if they answered them or not.
And every time....its provides no "advice" its exactly what you find on forums and google.
Is it weird that i don't skate and never had but love watching and learning more about skateing.

Braille skateboarding was literally made by a professional skateboarder
I inhale memes he made his own company so he’s a pro at his own company
the trucks are made and distributed with there size in millimeters, I'm pretty sure its the wheel base measured from the inside truck (not the spoke the wheel spins around). for example my long board has paris 180's on it. the length between the wheels is 180 mm. you can put larger trucks on a smaller board and vice versa. there might even be some advantages. like I know smaller trucks will give you a tighter turn radius, while bigger trucks will give you more stability. the sizing charts just keep your trucks looking symmetrical to the board as it gets wider.
😂 im size 11 and im 13 lmao and i ride an 8 but its perfect for me

The terrorists in France were asking the same questiom
aidan gomar this is so wrong and rude of you!
Lmao
Michael Duck lol yeah coz a RUclips comment on a skate channel makes me sad
I've been skating for about 7 yrs. trucks size after the time has come to two categories . Vert or street.
If you wanna be a vert type person, I recommend a truck the size of your board or a little bigger. reason being is cause you will be do tricks(eventually) the let you get high air. these trucks give you a bigger center of gravity when you land, so you don't eat sh*t. If you want to fall under street, I recommend same size or a little smaller. This will reduce weight and give you a higher chance of landing the 720 Kickflip we all wish we could do
Hey do you guys make RUclips videos? That would be great so I can subscribe.
are you stupid ?
+Mclovin - Troll
No they only make youtube videos
do skate shops sell griptape?
What a dumb question.
Skate anything idea. Widest trucks with thinnest board or thinnest trucks with widest board
Back in my skate days I had, Indys,Phantom , Tensors,Destructo,World Industries ,my friends had Venture, Grind kings, Krux but my favs where Royal out of all those ,felt they where the right weight ,high and length, plus price was decent too
I think the most confusing thing to new skaters (me) is if they want to skate say an 8.25 board. Most companies don't make trucks just for 8.25 (krux being one exception), they usually do a truck for 7.75-8.25 and 8.25-8.5. So the question is to buy which one?
buy independent. manually search sizes of each component that suits you and feels most comfortable to you. improvise it
WOW FOR ONCE I DIDN'T HEAR AARON SAY CHECK OUT SMS AND ALL THAT AT THE END. What did you do with him Lance!
If you're buying trucks as a beginner maybe buy low trucks and you can always raise them with risers if you feel the need
Lance you guys should do a 80's game of skate. Using 80's reissue decks & Slime Ball wheels. Pulling out some boneless, Bertlemann slides, slappy's, Judo Airs. It would be cool to get your research down. To Show some of the younger generation. That may not know the history of 80's skateboarding. Thanks & Keep up the good work.
This video was more about fitment and recognizing that many choices are personal preference. I would have liked to hear something about choosing between brands.
Can you guys do a video on what brand skateboard should I buy? a complete skateboard on the shelf to buy. (Aaron pls)
I skate a 8.25 and 139 independents but you can skate as good 149 i think it's just personal preference how heavy trucks are doesn't matter you get used to it a few grams really does not make a difference that you can skate well or not
I think the only really important thing is how the trucks feel when turning and how long they last
Doing great with the vids Lance. Keep it up!
I'm going to order a sweatshirt from you guys here soon. super excited!
