Truck Shootout: Thunder 151 vs. Grind King Disruptor 6.0 - part 1 of 2 (Thunders)

This was supposed to be a single video with edits, but my phone overheated so now it's two.

Apologies in advance for the epic sniffdom (I was having an allergy attack), the weird squinting (sunscreen got in my eyes) and the sub-par skating. I was in a hurry trying to film in extreme heat and brightness, between school/work stuff and I did the best I could. My content will get better.

Based on some things I learned from Ben's channel, I now see why I had so much trouble with my first setup. Steep kicks, wider-set Thunder trucks and a large, heavy board with a long wheelbase made for neither a good manual point nor an easy pop. But hey, it got me started.

Be sure to check out part 2...that's where the real revelation is!

UPDATE: For those asking about the weight difference, I finally weighed them:
Thunder 151 Team Hollow: 11.5 oz.
Grind King Disruptor 6.0: 13.2 oz.
(note: weights are for one truck at a time only)

Wish I could balance like that on the rear trucks. Props man.
