General Comments

I don't really like Bam but I tried the trucks out anyway. The thing about Destructos is that yes, the are wicked light but they suck for grinds when compared with Indys. The shape just gets me, these are ugly trucks. They look like anemic Indy's, skinny and oddly shaped. There is a lot of grind clearence though and I guesstimate that it will take me quite a while to grind all the way to the kingpin. However, if your into grinding ledges like I am, don't get these trucks unless you want to challenge yourself by testing your balance on grinds.
Besides, Bam actually skates Indy's when he can and not Destructos.

    Dude. You can't really blame trucks for the grind if the kingpins has enough clearence. Theres no other reason why your grinds would suck if its not the kingpin. Its just probably something your doing.

    Alright, what I meant to say was that they don't
    feel as good grinding as Indy's do. Indys feel better turning and grinding in comparison.
    They just don't feel as good as Indys and I'm sure you agree, that's why Indys has the largest team backing them. Oh, and I'm not blaming the truck...it's a good truck just not one I'd pay money again for. It's not a truck for me.
