55 classics and buying 66 af1s the second they drop at no comply.

winkowski hollow indy 144s i love em

rode krux for like 18 years then went indy .. indy comes out with the mid within months. Now considering tensor mag lites for a street setup. On that note .. how heavy are these?

@@jessejamesb I was krux for life. Rode fury evo 2s for 3 boards and now just went to grind king disruptors.

I have in my skateboard right now stage 10 indys but they lose myself as a buyer with the logo cancelation (i think is stupid a brand change their logo for the reasons they did) so now i want to try other brands trucks and you know what, i guess ill try these AF1 ACES you make completely hyped about them 😊

😂😂😂

haha we only review products we like! Im riding these right now and loving em! (only a week in so far but they turn like no other truck!). Would love to hear what you think! And much respect for supporting your local shop!! 👊👊👊

@@ShredzShop also just got these love em to bits

"when new skate products were rad, not just replacements" damn, you hit the nail on the head there.

​@ShredzShop you realise it takes longer than a week to see flaws in a set of trucks? They're shit both design and quality wise.

I'd never charge anyone at the park to use my re-threader but if they expect me to walk all the way to my car and back to the park again just so they can use it then I'll tell them they owe me some water or a coke.

Lol non of my friends have ever really skated so I would just charge anyone

When youre good at something you dont do it for free.

A smart one

It may be the fact they have the pivot in line with the turning axis as opposed to camming itself into your pivot cup every time you lean.

👊 👊 👊

He’s definitely an innovator! 🙌🏻

I broke a set of tensors in my first week learning to skate last year 🤔

@@SucoVidya I wasn't a fan of tensors, kinda liked grindking and thunders (at least their pro models) ventures were cool when I first started out but always indy's even tho they were heavier.

We’ve had a few problems with Tensors breaking over the years, haven’t carried them at our shop in a few years though. So no clue what they’re like now.

Back in 2003 a homie owned a set of tensor(the ones with the orange bushing at the baseplates), ome day skating the streets a bus run over his board and the only survivors where those trucks, wheels, bearings, and deck blown out, that was the test for us back then everyone wanted a set of tensor trucks, good memoris, think they dont exist anymore

Whaaat?! That’s so rad! I’m on my first pair now (AF1s) and They took a little getting used to cause they turn so fast, but I don’t think I’ll go back to what I was riding.

@@eggboye352 when it comes to equipment, slap hates ANYTHING that isn't indy/thunder, spitfire f4, or a small deck company. it's almost like reddit but for skaters.

@@hollow_w33n you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about.

@@hollow_w33n Slap loves Ace lmao

@@austinhughes2871 ah, sorry about that. i haven't been there for ages.

Can’t argue with that! 👊🏻

R.I.P.

@martin gonzalez lol I remember when grosso was on indys. Rip

Pretty genius, when you see ideas like that, you wonder why it took so long.

Every truck nut already rethreads as you take the nuts off..... it's nothing groundbreaking.

@@orion7741 Not really. When you take the nut off you aren't rethreading the axle, you are just stripping the nut

@@orion7741 That's not how threads or nuts work... The nut is made of a softer metal than the axle so that it doesn't damage the axle and grips the threads tightly, If you were to try and use a nut as a rethreading tool you're just going to end up with a stripped nut. Edit: That said, loosening and tightening the nut will help a tiny bit in smoothening out the threads at the very end of your axle but you're also damaging your nut in the process and it's not nearly as effective as using an actual rethreader.

Orion 77 Like Kyle Cathro said, the softer metel doesn't rethread, why do you think the automotive industry has dedicated tap and die sets for things like rethreading?

Damn!!! That’s crazy! What park is it?

Shredz Shop Talent Skatepark. It’s in Talent which is located in Southern Oregon. I helped build this park in 97’/98’ along with a few other parks. Met a few other people there, including Tim Brauch not long before his passing. I believe he had footage there in the. video Santa Cruz Ammo.

Damn! That’s so rad! Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏻 Pretty good flex that you built a park so many legends have had footy skating!! Gonna have to check it next time we’re in Oregon!

Damn thanks for the kind words! Stoked you enjoyed the vid!! 🙏

Im testing some AF1's right now, and they turn insanely fast. Never rode anything like it.

Venture for ever

AWAKE

But aces look cool

😂😂

And this is the first I've ever heard of em! Crazy! haha

Definitely worth a shot!! Much different feel than a Tensor!

Bruh tensor is literally the worst truck you can buy😂

Same great turning but way more durable 🏁🏁

@@ShredzShop I’m debating on the 66 af1 since there the same size as my 55s but I might size down on my trucks. Either way I will be buying a pair

Riding these AF1's right now and they turn crazy fast!!

Me too!! Me too!!

@@TRAVIESO_NA Indy is trash

Rad 👊🏻

Glad you enjoyed! Riding my first pair right now!

They skate awesome on chunky ledges

@@prestong5869 I got some and skate them on some curbs in my back to the future video. Skating the 77s in that one.

Great trucks for sure!!

Did you upgrade the bushings ? I just bought my first pair of Indys yesterday , came from Ventures.. I had to tighten down the bolts pretty far down to get the looseness to match my ventures , threw in some Indy hard bushings I had laying around , no rebound what so ever and stick tilted to one side.. Ventures never had those issues out of the box ..

@@reza_dc2Hi Reza. I never change the stock bushings in any truck. All bushings from all brands have to go through a break in period of about 1 week give or take a day or 2. It sounds like you prefer tight trucks to loose, I could be wrong. Indy bushings have always been Medium to soft stock bushings. I always feel the customers that purchase the Indy's or any brand truck from the shop that I will crank the trucks down 2 turns for adjustment. I advise them to just ride the trucks around for about the first week to break the bushings in and then make them tighter or looser as the bushings should be broke in at that time. Hope this was helpful information as this is my experience with the Independent trucks. None of my customers have come back to change the bushings out on me yet.

@@reza_dc2 I'd second what Michael said, though I opted for Bones hardcore bushings ... which oddly I do ride looser now, but it's because I know I'm not getting wheel bite (I can trust them). They just seem to work a bit differently, being a double cone design with just a washer on top.

Hey Bud , I tried to ride the stock bushings , they were way to soft. I think 99% of peoples boards that I have tried have loose ass trucks , lol. Went to the local shop and threw in the bones white and yellow mediums , shit was still to loose. Bought the black and white Bones hard's , perfect.

Rad to hear!! 👊🏻

ace best truck ever, i buy it never regret

haha i was looking for this comment

He gets paid in Montana's Gift Cards

Try new things!

👊 👊 👊

Glad you enjoyed!

Yea, I think the bushing placement was a common complaint, so hopefully this fixes em! I have only been riding em for a couple weeks, but no problems so far.

@@ShredzShop takes awhile for bushings to break in. That's the only thing I've noticed. I heard of people using krux bushings in them but I haven't tried that myself.

I’ve seen kids come in with Zumiez completes and their trucks on backwards with 159s on a 7.75 😂😭😂

You can always try em next time! Thunder and Indy both make great trucks too!

🏁🏁🏁

They turn like no other!

Having the exact same issue on my stage 11s. Have to smack them every 5 minutes to realign them and it does my head in. No one ever talks about it but know tons of people that have had the same issue

I usually ride harder cushions too, but rode these stock ace ones. They are soooo loose, but then when I tightened them a bit, they felt really good. Gonna have to ride them a little more to have a solid opinion on them, so far lovin them though!

they are terribly over priced here in the states so you must have paid a fortune for them over there

@@waynecartwright9478 finally some local skateshops hv them. the classics are rm239 and the af1 are RM289. so those are roughly usd57-70 a pair.

They look alright but they seem like old indys to me

I was die hard Indy too. Been riding Indys since the late 80s They are not the same company anymore and since Ace came along there is a better alternative.

@martin gonzalez who the hell gets on youtube calling people losers, whos the real loser? Get a life lol. This is the kind of guy that shops at zummies for his new slip ons and globe complete haha.

Glad you enjoyed! Let me know what you think of the classics!

Yea it's funny to see the cult like following ACE has built. Seeing dudes like Bam hyping them up a ton without a paycheck from them is always intriguing to me. Also, was talking to a friend who works at ACE and he was telling me of them sending trucks for different pros to ride who have other truck sponsors 😂😂😂

@@ShredzShop He was saying that he always skated Aces and when he was trying to relearn and get better overseas he wasn't able to find em. Think it was in Spain or something he said and was just skating what local shops would float em lol. As far as them sending trucks to pros that ride for others brands goes...it makes me wonder. Why won't more guys just ride for Ace? Gotta be a money/contract thing?

Thunder Hollow lights were my go to. Testing these and loving em. Hope we see an AF1 hollow in the future!

I’d stick with Thunder. I tried Krux trucks and they felt a little taller than Thunders and the cushions were meh. I had to swap them out to turn better.

@@ShredzShop How do you compare them to the new Ace? *Hollow thunders lights ||*🤙🏼

Venture is the only one of those brands that is really still crushing! But Venture’s been making moves lately!

Im lovin' em!

Hmm that’s the first I’ve heard on that. Do you ride loose, med or tight trucks?

I feel like this fixed that, haven’t had any bushing issues, other than them being sooooo loose at first.

Same I barely ride anymore but I love my old grind kings was happy to see them come back. Always been my favorite trucks over the years

Yea they do! Lots of people love em

Yep! Rethreaders work on all truck brands! I re-threaded my Thunders with it!

@@ShredzShop That’s awesome Thanks

Worth a shot!

Glad you enjoyed the vid! Let us know what you think of the trucks after riding them a bit!! 🙏 👊

@@ShredzShop will do, in few weeks.

@@ShredzShop ps ? 4u- stock bushings should u change to body weight? .88 red color soft in my case or leave stock ones- white.......thx

Thunder make great trucks 👊🏻

@Frank Bonazza III No- the truck angle changes the actual wheelbase

The new AF1 has a 77 that is a 9.5! Should work pretty perfect on a 9.6!! We're sold out, but I'm sure there's a great local shop that has em!!

@@ShredzShop Thanks for the reply! I'm more into the longboard downhill scene but I have 2 indys, 149 and 159, I wanted to try ace for a long time, now i'm definitely going for the af1 77! Cheers

These definitely turn just as sharp. Do you ride tight or loose trucks? I’m actually riding a Polar board with the wheel wells on a set of AF1 55’s, so I’m not getting wheel bite, but I have the wheel wells to help out with that.

These are looser than stock classics since they lubed the pivot cups. I had to tighten these up where classics I would ride stock. I ride 1/8 risers on 56s and I still get wheelbite

@@ShredzShop 60mm wheels/always loose trucks.. there's no other way I can skate. I'm scared of ace!

Yea at twice the price of any regular truck

@@waynecartwright9478 they were cheaper than indy's at my local shop

@@skateboardingzen1793 cheaper than the Ti Indy's.....I ride pools and vert, Indy 169s...I pay $19.95 ea.....They want $28.00 for AF1 77s which is a joke and not even remotely worth the price.....I also have Indy Ti 169s that I paid $69.00 for a set....and older ACE 66 that I love for $18.95 ea.....the AF1s are nothing special and should be around $20 ea. also....

First off, I'm 99% sure the OP was talking about Gullwings. Second of all Ace Classics are the same or cheaper than Indy. The Ace classics are the equivalent to the Indy Standards. Standard, Solid Trucks with no upgrades. The Reason the AF1 is a little more is because it is the upgraded version. It's exactly the same reason the forged Indys are more expensive, because it's an "upgrade", non standard truck. The Standard Indy 169 and the Classic Ace equivalent are the same price. The AF1 comes with the rethreader, uses a harder grade of aluminum compared to the classic, the AF1 uses a forged base plate and also a more durable pivot cup. You are paying 10 more dollars for that, if you don't want that you buy the classics for the same damn price as your indies. So stop acting like this is some outrageous rip-off, it is industry standard practice. Independent charges 10 bucks more for their forged truck so it's literally the exact same thing. Indy has gone way downhill or at least in my experience. I've skated over 20 years and I can truly tell you that I think they peaked at the stage 9. (Still got a pair somewhere.) Id choose an ace 55 Classic over an Independent 159 any day of the week. Hope that makes sense

They turn incredibly fast vs a Indy or Thunder. It takes some getting used to, but when you do it's pretty sick!

Would love to hear what you think!! 🙌🏻👊🏻

Right now it’s just silver/black/gold, but I’m sure more options will come!

@@ShredzShop Ah, yup. Black was the colour I was curious about.
