Whether you're crushing the streets on a matte black Ace AF1 or ripping the park with an Enjoi Panda wheel combo, your trucks are the foundation for nailing every trick.
Why settle for average when you can ride like a pro? Our premium skateboard trucks offer the stability, control, and responsiveness every skater needs to level up their game. Don't sleep on the importance of quality trucks—they're the difference between a wobbly ride and a smooth, confidence-inspiring shred.
Which Trucks Are Right for Your Ride?
Picking the right trucks is all about matching your style and preferences. At OCD, we've got a stacked lineup of options to suit every skater.
If you're all about classic performance and durability, standard trucks like Independent Stage 11s or Thunder Trucks are the go-to. Want to shave some weight? Hollow trucks, like Tensor Mag Lights or Hollow Lights, offer a lighter feel without sacrificing strength. For those who like a bit more height and leverage, mid-trucks like Venture or Ace trucks are a solid choice.
We stock all the top brands you know and love, including Independent, Tensor, Enjoi, Krux, Santa Cruz, and pro models like Tiago Lemos. Whether you're after a lightweight truck set for techy flip tricks or a stable platform for bombing hills, we've got the perfect trucks to dial in your ride.
Breaking Down the Anatomy of a Skateboard Truck
Ever wondered what makes your skateboard trucks tick? They might seem simple at first glance, but there's a lot more going on beneath the surface. Each component plays a crucial role in how your board performs, from turning and stability to grinding and overall feel. Understanding the different parts of a skateboard truck can help you fine-tune your setup and get the most out of your ride. Here is the essential anatomy of these hardworking components:
Baseplate and Kingpin
The baseplate is the foundation of your truck, attaching directly to your deck with mounting hardware. It's typically made of aluminium or steel, providing a solid anchor for the other components. The kingpin, a large vertical bolt that runs through the baseplate, acts as the pivot point for the hanger. It's secured by a nut on the underside of the baseplate. Tightening or loosening the kingpin nut adjusts your truck's turning resistance, allowing you to customise your turning feel.
Hanger and Axle
The hanger is the T-shaped part of the truck that you see most prominently. It's what connects to your wheels via the axle, allowing them to rotate freely. The axle runs through the hanger, providing the axis for your wheels to spin on. Hangers come in different widths to match your deck size, and the angle of the hanger affects your turning geometry. Some trucks, like Tensor Mag Lights, even feature hollow axles and kingpins for a lighter weight setup.
Bushings and Pivot Cup
Bushings are the urethane cushions that sit between the hanger and the kingpin. They're the unsung heroes of turning, controlling how much your trucks turn and how they rebound after a turn. Softer bushings provide a looser, more responsive feel, perfect for quick turns and technical tricks. Harder bushings offer more stability and are ideal for downhill and high-speed skating. The pivot cup is a small plastic or metal piece that sits in the baseplate and provides a smooth surface for the hanger to pivot on. It's often overlooked, but a worn pivot cup can drastically affect your turning performance.
Finding the Perfect Trucks to Match Your Shred
Choosing the right skate truck is like picking the perfect pair of shoes—it's all about fit, style, and function. If you're into old-school tricks and cruising, a classic truck with a wider hanger might be your jam. For techy skaters who love to flip and spin, a lighter, more responsive truck could be the ticket. And if you're all about slappy grinds and curb bashing, a durable truck with a lower profile might be your best bet.
At OCD, we carry a wide range of trucks with different widths, heights, and geometries. So, whether you're rocking a classic logo deck or a modern popsicle shape, we'll help you find the perfect trucks to complement your style and elevate your skateboarding experience.
