I had seven year old ABEC 3 wheels and real heavy trucks on it from a<br \/>\n\t\tboard that was probably bought in a toy shop for \u00a315.  So I kept on thinking that that board<br \/>\n\t\tmight have been holding me back due to it&#8217;s lack of pop and that fact that it was quite heavy, and I was right.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<abbr class=\"dtreviewed\" title=\"20051008T1606Z\">Oct 8, 2005<\/abbr>  by<br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"reviewer vcard\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"fn\">Board Crazy<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n  \t<span class=\"type\" style=\"display: none;\">product<\/span><br \/>\n  \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tensor Low Trucks\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/photos\/tensorlow.jpg\" class=\"photo\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"item\">\n    \t<span class=\"fn\">Tensor Low Trucks<\/span>\n  \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t<abbr title=\"5\" class=\"rating\">&#x2606;&#x2606;&#x2606;&#x2606;&#x2606;<\/abbr>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\tWhen I was buying the stuff for my new setup I intentionally tried to get lightweight, low trucks and small wheels so that the board<br \/>\n\t\t\twould be easy to spin and flip and do funky flatland stuff with, plus some bearings a little speedier than ABEC 3&#8217;s! I&#8217;m not kidding<br \/>\n\t\t\twhen I tell you I could not make it to the bottom of a hill without tic-tacking down it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\tAnyway, I was talking about trucks&#8230;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\tSo I read a lot of reviews and generally hunted around for some trucks until I came across these beauties.  They are Tensor<br \/>\n\t\t\tLow trucks designed and used by Rodney Mullen.  That&#8217;s a pretty big endorsement as far as I&#8217;m concerned, but if you&#8217;re not as<br \/>\n\t\t\tmuch of a fan as I am then here are five actual reasons <i>I would buy them again<\/i>&#8230;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"tricktip\">\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t\t1. Lightweight trucks make it much easier to move, flip and spin your skateboard.  I immediately noticed the<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tdifference when I went to do a <a href=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/tricks_k.html#kickflip\" title=\"Define : Kickflip\">kickflip<\/a>, putting the usual amount<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tof force I would have needed to with my old skateboard just to do a kickflip, and the new board easily span a double. You can<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\talso ollie a lot higher.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2. As well as being lightweight, they are much lower than regular trucks.  This means the skateboard is even easier to flip because<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tthe wheels aren&#8217;t sticking out as far.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t\t3. Unlike many trucks, they don&#8217;t seem to have any &#8216;lean&#8217; towards one side or the other.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t\t4. They look damn cool.  Especially the black and orange ones.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\t\t5. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tensortrucks.com\/\" title=\"Tensor Trucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tensor Trucks website<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/layout\/ext.gif\" class=\"ext\" alt=\"External Link\"\/><\/a>, they have been officially<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\trecognised by the US Patent Office as being innovative not just to skateboarding but to engineering as a whole.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>The Cheapest Place To Buy Tensor Trucks?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"qhpe7f2t6jc3u0aun\">\n\t\t\t\tThe best place to buy these trucks is on E-Bay, as far as I can tell. In the USA, there are a lot of &#8216;Buy It Now&#8217; sellers with these<br \/>\n\t\t\t\ttrucks, in all different colours.  Even if you live in the UK it&#8217;s cheaper to get them from America! I live in Somerset and<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tI picked mine up from an American seller on E-Bay. Even with international shipping charges these trucks cost me about \u00a320 less than<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tthey would have if I&#8217;d got them here in the UK!  But don&#8217;t just take my word for it&#8230;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullets\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qksrv.net\/click-1818787-9479574?loc=http%3A\/search.ebay.co.uk\/search\/search.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3Dtensor+low\" title=\"E-Bay UK\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tensor Low Trucks On E-Bay.co.uk<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/layout\/ext.gif\" class=\"ext\" alt=\"External Link\"\/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-1818787-5463217?loc=http%3A\/search.ebay.com\/tensor-low_W0QQfromZR40\" title=\"E-Bay USA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tensor Low Trucks On E-Bay.com<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/layout\/ext.gif\" class=\"ext\" alt=\"External Link\"\/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other Skateboarding Reviews<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"bullets\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/rodney_mullen_book.html\" title=\"Review Of Rodney Mullens Book\" rel=\"tag\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tHow To Skateboard And Not Kill Yourself, By Rodney Mullen<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/rodney_daewon_1.html\" title=\"Review Of Rodney vs Daewon Skate Movie\" rel=\"tag\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tRodney Mullen vs Daewon Song, Round 1<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"resources\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/www.board-crazy.co.uk\/tensor_low_trucks.php&amp;title=Tensor Low Trucks\" title=\"Post This Article To Your Del.icio.us Bookmarks\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/layout\/delicious.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Post To Delicious\"\/>Post To Del.icio.us<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myweb2.search.yahoo.com\/myresults\/bookmarklet?t=Tensor Low Trucks&amp;u=http:\/\/www.board-crazy.co.uk\/tensor_low_trucks.php\" class=\"popup1\" title=\"Add This Article To Yahoo My Web 2.0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/board-crazy.co.uk\/files\/layout\/yahoo.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Add To Yahoo!
