    Must… work… on… screen… presence…

    Oh man, what a joy I must be to skate with. I think that was the day I took a bottle of sleeping pills before the session.

    This marks the last time anyone will ever send us something to review. I have a proper review for Torch Trucks in the works. I can sum it up up by saying the trucks do indeed spark, and people will make fun of you for using them while secretly or not so secretly wanting to try them. They are basically a Tracker Truck with flints embeded in them. I was never able to get comfortable on these trucks. I tried with multiple bushing setups but they always felt awkward to me.

  • Next time try the Coleman white fuel.

  • or gasoline. and dont use those if you have a gas leak in your home.

  • Just think, If you skated a remote area and then became lost in the woods, these trucks may save your life. Think about it.

  • It stokes me to hear that Bow Wow Wow track getting its due justice…

  • They are the best when it gets dark.

  • tail devils nice

  • So who’s going to make the first sparking rails? And how are those trucks going to work with my copers on?

To all you liars out there…quit that fucking nonsense!! Be yourself and be honest. I guarantee people would like to be around you more.

    We beat Torch Trucks to it in here in London,England,when I was skating in 1973-78 we used to drill tiny holes in our trucks and hammer in flints we took out of cigarette lighters.Good feature anyway.
