Thunder skateboard trucks are known as the lightest and strongest trucks on the market. To make the trucks as light as possible, they use the lightest materials and remove all excess weight. This results in better pop and an even more direct response from your skateboard. Thunder hasn't always been a company at the forefront of technical developments. The company started in 1986 in a basement in Santa Cruz, California. Back then, Thunder trucks were nothing more than independent trucks with punk graphics. Only when the trucks became more popular did they start designing and manufacturing their own trucks. The trucks still come from the same factory as the indies. From the moment Thunder started making its own trucks, things moved quickly. Thunder was the first brand to release successful pro-model trucks. The Thunder team includes big names like Jamie Thomas, Mark Appleyard, Chris Cole, Rick McCrank, and Ed Templeton. Today, Thunder trucks are the best-selling trucks in the world.
