Yeah really...that's a manufacturing flaw...take the broken truck and jam it where the sun don't shine at the corporation, and demand another one...it shouldn't have done that at all. :Holy Crap

Did you hurt your bum? I remember the one time I got on a skate board... it flew from beneath me and I landed on my back! And my best friend on the first day of senior year broke his wrist while skateboarding...(he doesn't know how)

Looks like it's made from what used to be called "Pot metal". It definitely won't stand up to what you want to do with it. If you just roll down the road on it, you won't have any problem. But, if you bang it against anything, it will break. The chrome plating helps a little, but not much. Next time, don't go cheap. Get steel.

You know what you should to? Go to a machiniste and get him to create one of them made out of 3Al - 2.5V Titatium. That will NEVER break. And its going to be a bit lighter too! And won't corrode or rust

were was the truck made? CHINA? hahahahaahaha.. nothing you can do but spend $10 more and get a better one.
What is that made of? Plastic? God skateboards are made to be broken so the guys who make them will have you buy another one every year.

Ok what about this one?
I don't know how someone could break a bike like that. Someone probably did that on purpose.
Xilant
08-27-2003, 09:24 PM
ITs a cross country bike. If you take jumps more than 6 feet they break. I beleive my XC can take jumps up to 12 feet...

At least only the bike broke, at least the person isn't broken, I hope anyway.

Lol all you need is an allen key of 5mm and you can strip a bike down to the frame...
The pick of the cuffs down there is a bike lock made by Master Lock. They have a 4000$ garentee if your bike gets stolen. but that's for the bike, if your parts are stolen well, you're @#$@

check out this bent kona stab primo :eek:
Kona Stabe Primo which is 7000$American. and that 's a Rock Shox Boxxer. Downhill bike that weighs 45 pounds. And most people don't like it because you can't pull up when going off jumps. too front heavy. its suppose to look like this, this is the 2004 model. same thing different color. and different fork. The one on the 2004 is the Marzocchi 888 R 170mm travel.
