Does Ace's AF1 Inverted Truck Live Up to the Hype? Lawrence Ravail Answers With New Video Part

As far as field tests are concerned, filming an entire video part is certainly one way to approach it. Gotta respect the ambition. I will say this—they seem to work pretty well on all types of terrain. Big drops, banks, ledges, hubbas. It's all there. 

Ace calls the AF1 Inverted “the best skateboarding truck in the world,” and while that’s a bold claim, this edit does its best to back it up. But, yeah—that's for you guys to decide. They seem to work for Lawrence, though!

Whether you’re sold on the “best in the world” title or not, there’s no arguing that Lawrence puts these trucks through the wringer—and came out swinging. It's no surprise pretty much every other skate truck company in the game is now offering inverted kingpins, too. Gotta give the people what they want.
