The Chromoly Truck
The chromoly truck would grind virtually any curb. The grind itself as been described as a "slip grind", that is too say there is little to no resistance. I had a set of G&S Trucks back in 1990 or so and was a big fan of the fact that I could slappy just about any curb in my hometown. For a complete story of the life and fate of the chromoly truck please click here and read "Who Killed The Chromoly Truck?" In the meantime, I've found some San Diego Trucks online for quite a reasonable price, and am considering buying a set. It's either that or I'm going to start riding copers, or grind feelers or whatever you call them.
What Luck? X Fickle Collab Decks MWBC
There were five of these produced by What Luck? and Fickle as part of the MidWest Blue Collar collaboration, each deck with a slightly different graphic. The specs are 9" x 33.75", tapering to 8.5" at the back truck, and a 15" wheelbase with a 7" nose and tail. All I can say is there are 5 lucky skaters out there.

Roll Forever
Philosophy
“I don’t want to see a Frito’s commercial with a skateboarder on it. It’s not in the spirit of skateboarding. We’re not supposed to be in the limelight. We’re supposed to be the scuttlebutt. We’re not supposed to be heroes. We’re supposed to be zeroes. If we look good, we look bad.”
Bill Danforth
"I don't care what people say about me. I'm just out there having fun..."
