    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.

      Trent, you are a liar and a fat mouth!! My buddy James Kulstad invented Torch Trucks…R.I.P. James. I dont understand why people feel like they need to lie!?!? 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.

    • Trent whats your email?

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

  • tail devils nice

  • They are the best when it gets dark.

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

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

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

  • Next time try the Coleman white fuel.

  • A

    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.
