controlthebleeding Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 What's the best way to get a snapped king pin out of my trucks? if the kingpin snapped, couldn't you just take the truck off and pull it out of either end. it's only being held in by bushings and a nut. if the kingpin broke, it should be able to replaced rather easily. personally i'd just go buy a new truck..

oakland Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Get another kingpin and a mallet. Put the new king pin on the back of the old one and bang that shit out. A little WD-40 will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little WD-40 will help. just like the good ol' days.. well replacing kingpins.. speaking of i might be getting back into skating.. but damn, the last time i skated, the decks were about 10" wide.. not 8" or 7"..haha. Anyone recommend some decent boards. i won't be skating to do tricks like i use to.. i had some major crashes that left my left knee pretty fucked up, so i won't be trying to fuck myself up again..

I just started up again after about 3 years of not skating because of terrible ankles. I'm using an Enjoi deck and I like it, I hate big decks so it's a 7.6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I went for a skate yesterday for the first time since summer 07. Forgot how fun this shit was. Still got f/s noseslides in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Wow, how do you do anything in those pants? Like... have a penis? Let alone move or skateboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I wear them so low it isn't a factor. Plus they are 1% elastic so they stretch, which actually makes them sweet so skate in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Ok, fair enough. If they didn't stretch, I could imagine a lot of rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah, it would be like walking with cardboard tubes on my legs if they were pure denim. I need to buy a new set up for the summer. I'm thinking Enjoi deck (around 7.8"), Tensor trucks, Autobahn wheels (54mm) and China Reds bearings. Boo yah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six42intheam Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 how much unnecessary time do you guys think was spent to paint those ramps so they look like brick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 how much unnecessary time do you guys think was spent to paint those ramps so they look like brick? They change the paint all the time. The transitions used to have loads of multi-coloured butterflies and grass sprayed all over which looked great. The "brick job" looks crap, but it will be different soon. I might take some paint down and make them look better sometime this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a backside noseslide. Please don't argue with me on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
