Is it just me, or do venture kingpins seem infamous for snapping. I snapped mine after a couple of months, don't do any huge drops or many grinds and they both snapped. Anyone else has this problem? _________________

Never heard of 'em. Do you get 'em at a local skate shop? You should go to a hardware store & buy your own & have the guys at the shop install that instead of theirs. |

Well there just the standard kingpins I got with my ventures, so maybe venture didn't make them. _________________

Oh I see, Venture trucks. You know I've snapped 2 Independent kingpins just trying flatland nosebones. Sometimes you just land on 'em wrong. It's not a big deal, just have the guys at the shop fix it, it's usually pretty cheap. Whatever you do DON'T try to hammer it out by yourself. |

Yeah, I would have better luck getting them out myself I can assure you of that. I asked my local skate shop if they had any kingpins and he said "Whats a kingpin?". Its not a skate specific shop but he does sell skate stuff. _________________

I don't. Its just that I needed a kingpin right then and there so I got one. They were only $2. _________________
