How we chose the best aluminum for our Ghettoblaster skate trucks
When building a skateboard, few components are as crucial as the trucks. They determine stability, maneuverability, and durability, influencing every trick, jump, and turn.
For our Ghettoblaster trucks, we did not settle for the standard material available on the market: we wanted the highest quality, strength, and lightness, to offer our skaters a superior experience.
The challenge: choosing the best aluminum for trucks
There are different types of aluminum used in the market for truck production:
-
Aluminum 6061 – light, strong and ideal for general use.
-
Aluminum 7075 – harder and stiffer, perfect for experienced skaters and aggressive tricks.
-
Recycled aluminum – sustainable, but can vary in consistency and precision.
After months of testing and prototypes, we chose forged 7075 aluminum, which guarantees:
-
Maximum impact resistance during tricks and landings.
-
Optimal stiffness and stability, even in the tightest turns.
-
Low weight, for uncompromised maneuverability.
The production of our trucks
After selecting the material, we collaborated with our partner factory to produce the Ghettoblaster trucks.
The process includes:
-
Forged aluminum casting and machining – each block is shaped precisely.
-
CNC machining – to ensure perfect tolerances and reduce weight without compromising strength.
-
Quality control – each truck is tested for durability, lightness, and precision.

Thanks to this process, every Ghettoblaster truck is ready to withstand the most intense sessions, both in skateparks and for street skating.
Why the right aluminum makes the difference
Choosing high-quality aluminum means:

Greater durability – trucks don’t bend or break easily.
-
Superior performance – more precise maneuvers and total control.
-
Better skate experience – safety, comfort, and fun.
