That's awesome that you had a big part in the revival of Grind King. You've done so much for the skateboarding community, you should be very proud and have a beer on me

[pensulpusher]

It’s amazing to see the positive effect your channel has had on the skateboard community. Keep at it!

[cameronwoodring]

as an aging rider that has plateau'd pretty hard this is amazing

[SpaceBass]

First, being part of bringing GK back has to be a cool feeling. Second, they look SUPERCOOL!

[chrisb]

they are actually cool, and an objective improvement on truck design!

[MisterSkateboards]

I wish they would remake the originals

[joejoe]

he deserves some company shares for all this, it was more than just free promotion. i never liked their trucks much but their stickers were great.

[derekarmstrong]

Don is super cool. I used to work for him because he had a space for Burning Man related events. Knew him for months before he told me who he was. Good to see he's back in business.

Individual skateboard madness is wild, if I had two silver bolts they would have to be the front two

[danielbazzy]

Seems like the it’s best suited for rail skaters for that pinch in

[thejoe_snotbombsskateboarding]

So gnarly. I wanna pair! And those bolts are sick too. Remind me of "randoms" hardware. And yo who remembers kreeper trucks?

[JosephACampbellJr]

That’s super sick & I’m glad you were heard 👂 ❤

[THEDOGSBODIES]

I had the flame grind king trucks, I thought I was so cool

[seaour]

dude fucking AWESOME. congrats man. been following you since the early days of reviewing deep dives on games we forgot about damn near 10+ years ago now? holy hell it's been awhile.

[birdinonehand]

The grind king font the side is a chef’s kiss

[TRAVIESO_NA]

This was a sick review tho. 😂 I liked it. I’d never skate those Trucks ever, but it’s cool to see: I’d try them if I was still in my experimental truck phase.
But I’m all in on Indy and Ventures.
I did consulting for Indy and OJs wheels at NHS
And I did some consulting for Spitfire wheels, so I’m loyal to those Company’s Deluxe and NHS.

You did a great review

[JamesTopham-ty]

Shout out to grind king, making crazy trucks like it's 1999 😮 so good, gunna get me a pair

[RegularBroDude]

The baseplate with multiple drill holes is a brilliant idea! Adjust your wheelbase anytime! GK trucks have always been innovative. Rad review!❤

[diplenski]

I was hyped on the disruptors too bc they reminded me of the g5 highs, which I still have a pair of. I haven’t tried the disruptors yet though

[anowysz]

i think the adjustable wheelbase is a great idea. it could let people ride a wider range of boards than they usually would feel comfortable on. these seem like they'd be better for rails and coping than ledges though. personally, i really want to have that feeling of the wheel up against the ledge on a grind, but on something round, i bet they feel nicely locked
