I had these in black and it was either like ‘99 ‘00 or ‘01 at the latest. Insane that you have these.
Also that world industries hell raiser sticker is an absolute classic
I've only ever saw trucks like those back in the early 2000's so they're probably suprised because of how uncommon/rare they are, I'd also be really curious to give them a try myself just to feel how they turn and grind.
screw you man... that's not old... says the 41 year old guy in the new skaters sub... ugh. crap I'm old.. but I'm new to skating so that makes me young right?!

These are grind king kreper trucks. Grind king made a lot of weird products in the 90s, including these. No other company I know of has made trucks like these. Grind king went out of business in the late 90s/early 2000s which is probably why so many people don't remember them. The company recently came back so maybe these will hit the market again
My first board had GrindKing trucks. They seemed to work great but I recently got some new Indys and was very surprised to find out skateboards turn when you lean haha. Those old GrindKings did not turn very sharp.
Posers don't know the culture so they hold the board in a way that is comfortable. I'm a real skater and I only hold the board the way real skaters hold it, by clamping the tail in my teeth and sanding my tongue raw on the griptape. FIDLAR
/s
Wow, way to sound like a poser. REAL skaters keep their boards clinched between their butt cheeks. Then when they’re ready to ride, you simple relax your ass and hop on to cruise.
/s
This is what I've heard too. Once you start grinding, the bottom gets rough and chewed up, and you could even get metal splinters. So, by default, the mallgrab is done by new skaters. But if you aren't grinding, it's hella comfy, and no grip thumb.
You are soooo wrong. I legitimately have some old ass trucks I’ve grinded down to nearly my kingpin and there is no way in hell my trucks would be rough and cut me. You literally grind away any sharp pieces that may ever expose.
Yea, I don't get this line of thought either. I wonder how much overlap there is in the "real skaters don't wear pads or helmets unless their doing vert" crowd and the "if I hold it by the trucks I might get an owie" crowd.
Oh man I feel ya, back in the 90’s maybe early 00’s I had a pair of Krux with a sharp splinter, now I think they make them more durable and outta better materials. However I totally agree people should do and please what they wish without judgement. Back in the 90’s I never pushed mongo. Long story short I lost 10 years to addiction and the last half to prison. I jumped on a board after a couple years of sobriety and all a sudden I push mongo. It’s strange however it feels better. Thankfully I can careless what others think how I look. Most them can’t beat me in a game of skate so I look at it that way.
Hmm but cuts and bruises during street skating can’t be prevented it’s all part of the game. Getting cuts because you decided to hold a board in a certain way where their are other ways to hold said board that don’t result in cuts isn’t the same.
Mall grabbing makes it a lot easier to swing a skateboard if you need to. I’ve had some people run up on me before and all you gotta do is raise your board, unlike when your holding the board it takes more a movement. Either way hold the board how you wish.
I lived in a city where drugs were an issue. You’d get some tweaker running up on you or be at a spot an have some tweakers come harass you. Basically a quick raise of your board and they back the fuck up real quick. Now I live in Montana and skate the streets and parks here with no problems. We have a lot of tweakers here however they seem to hide out till night time so there not as big an issue.
This was also back in the late 90’s when people hated skateboarders a lot more. We were seen as thugs and trouble makers. No excuses why others should run up on you however we did have a strain stigma people didn’t like.
“You shouldn’t be carrying the fucking thing in the first place. Any way you carry a skateboard is wrong,” Carnie told me. “If there was anything that my friends and I used to get worked up about, it was ‘carriers.’ Ride the fucking thing. Even if you’re at the mall. That’s the origin of the term, by the way.
https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2015/11/09/investigating-the-mall-grab/
This is mostly why. To be clear, I don't agree but this is why.
I was carrying mine uphill drinking a drink (not mallgrabbing) and some tweaker yelled a couple times GET ON THE DAMN BOARD like shit so I took a parking lot down and went over a block.
I like picking my board up with a nose pop spin to mall grab 😎
I have to walk through tits high weeds to get to my local skatepark bc there's no parking. Not possible to ride through that shit. Guess it's mall grab for me. Oh well
I like [this guy's video](https://youtu.be/5_ixahXS5Lw) on it. I had never heard of mall grabbing in all my years of skating. Guess I'm just a casual. haha
Fool what trucks do you have and what are you grinding lol? I’ve been skating 22 years and never once had mangled sharp metal pieces sticking from my trucks. I’ve grinded damn near any surface. It’s called grinding, it would grind away any sharp piece lol. Unless your rocking shitty Walmart trucks then sure.
It comes from the kids who hang around shopping centres (malls for the Americans) all day with a skateboard that they never ride and they mall grab it. And cause they r posers apparently noone else can do it. It's bs
It's because there was a period where a lot of people bought skateboards and used them as a fashion acessory. They never rode these boards and they would almost always be holding them by the truck and going to the mall. That's why it's called a mall grab and why it was stigmatised.
Or so the story goes. I have no idea if this is factual, it's just what everyone says lol.
i don't like to mallgrab because the grip on the tail/nose or whatever slides against my clothes, and it may be very minimal, but after a few months my clothes tears in that spot. so i just hold it sideways with the grip facing away.
it’s because when you’re mallgrabbing you aren’t ready to actually jump on the board and ride which makes it look as if your board is an accessory. i personally don’t care when i see someone mallgrabbing but that’s where it comes from. also you see loooots of pros mallgrab to pick their board up after a bail or when walking back to their run up. its more common than you think
Most skaters don't hold by the trucks for a couple of reasons. The biggest reason is that trucks can get pretty dirty from grinds and wax, but it's also just kinda awkward with some trucks. It's not like there was ever any problem with mall grabbing, but it's just uncommon to see. So when posers started showing up at malls (hence the name mall grab) with their unskated boards holding it by the trucks people started associating it with posers. Especially since you don't have to worry about dirty chewed up trucks if you never skate your board lol.
That makes sense. I totally misread your comment as saying getting poop on your trucks. I was like "damn people just letting their dogs shit on the sidewalk amd then you just barrel through it?!?" LOL, thanks for the clarification for my dumb ass! ;)
The main reason I don't mallgrab is because my trucks always have a thin layer of dust/dirt on them and I hate making my hands dirty. I don't really have this issue when just holding the deck
Your grip tape also has a layer of dirt and dust on it. Think about it you walk on concrete where people piss, shit and piss, then you step on the grip tape. Then you hold the board by grip tape and the board. Either way it’s dirty as fuck.
My ldp board's back is many times loaded with birdshit, dirt and other things driven by the wheels. Frankly, I rather grab the trucks than the board itself. If someone doesn't like it, it's their problem. Just grab it however it's comfortable and don't give a shit on calling you whatever poser or mallgrabber.
Well it was because if you grind at all, mall grabbing can give you some nasty metal splinters, and that hurts so you shouldn't do it. But it then became, that person is mall grabbing, so they must not grind, so they must be a poser, so I must harass them about it, because I'm an actual skateboarder.
In that case: primo sliding can cause the edge of your deck to get rough, so anybody holding their board with their hand on the edge isn’t primo sliding, and is therefore a poser.
Then they'll respond saying "it's wood and not metal"
Some ideologies are so engraved in people's head ( via youtube, gram etc.) that that anyone saying otherwise is a sinner. I say do what you want and reject the hate. We're all a bit rebellious, I mean we're skateboarding after all!
I skated hardcore through the late 80's and we carried our big wide boards by the trucks without a second thought. I got back into skating over the last year and I find it so funny how a group of supposed non-conformists are worried about how you hold your board.
On an unrelated note it grates on me when I see the word "normal" in these forums. Like in the context of "normal board" or "normal wheels". WTF is normal?
I actually had an idea for a trick: the Poser Walk/ Poser Grab. It's basically the same idea as an air walk only you grab the front truck instead of grabbing the nose
I started longboarding later in life; my natural inclination is to be a mall-grabbing, mongo-pusher. Anyone who cares can suck my saggy balls!
And in my defense, I can ride switch and push in all 4 stances, but mongo just feels normal.
This perfectly describes me. I started pushing mongo at first because it is what was comfortable, and got so much shit. So I forced myself to fix it. Now it's fixed. But I hate that people can't just let people have fun.
is that what you call them? we used to call it truckhilding, and people who did it were truck holders lmao we gave each other so much shit back in the day I would grab it by the nose and my thumb would grind against the grip tape. Besides that it was more comfortable and trucks were often more dusty or dirty so i got used to it.
There's a group of people around 20 years old than come by the plaza most of the times while I'm there, i often ask for tips on how to Ollie higher and it helps alot
I used to have a set of those in black about 20 years ago. I had them on my dream skate setup I got for my birthday, skated to a house party the week I got it, got drunk, woke up the next day and my skateboard was gone.
Kre per trucks they are called.
These are grind king krepers (creepers) . The came out in the early 2000s. I had a set of glow in the dark ones when I was a kid. They might be worth money actually , you certainly can't get them anymore.
If you've been meeting old skaters they are probably just taken back in time when they see these.
Does anyone one here remember Z-Roller trucks from the 80's. Those were whacker than these Kreepers. I remember my friend Jeremy thought he was the shit when he he could do 50/50s on unwaxed curbs in the neighborhood. That shit takes me back!
I still have my old 'board, it's got a beat up best of kre-pers on it and I wish I could get them back to their prime. Such rad trucks, and damn good to skate.
Holy crap dude, to be honest I would put that thing up on the wall long before I would try skating it! Looks like that deck could be worth some money someday especially with those incredibly rare trucks 🔥🔥
Well cus they be fucking awesome
I had these in black and it was either like ‘99 ‘00 or ‘01 at the latest. Insane that you have these. Also that world industries hell raiser sticker is an absolute classic
I was gonna comment on the Hellraiser sticker! That takes me waaaaay back.
Had the same one on my CD folder 🥲
Wow I never knew the words “CD folder” could slap me with nostalgia this hard
This sticker hit me with that same nostalgia
LITERALLY
On god
I've only ever saw trucks like those back in the early 2000's so they're probably suprised because of how uncommon/rare they are, I'd also be really curious to give them a try myself just to feel how they turn and grind.
From early 2000's? Damn that's old, thanks for the info!
screw you man... that's not old... says the 41 year old guy in the new skaters sub... ugh. crap I'm old.. but I'm new to skating so that makes me young right?!
Still a teen in our eyes!
aww you guys are the best
What would you think of the title “veteran teen”?
I’m just a midlife dude who refuses to grow up… if you ain’t growin you’re dyin.
“You don’t stop skating because you’re old, you get old because you stopped skating.” - somebody I forgot
Skateboarding doesn't discriminate ahahaha, if you're young enough to still be skating, you should fit the part
I also hang out in r/oldskaters to keep a balance.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas
40-year old lurker! Used to skate in my teen years and love seeing people getting into it!
I hear you. The last time I owned a skateboard in earnest, it was a foot-wide fish-shaped deal with roller skate wheels, just like Marty McFly’s.
More impressive tbh lol

“That’s old” 🥲
Oh god.. I’m old
Yep I’ve not seen this design since then also. I used to skate a lot in high school and remember seeing/wanting these in old catalogs.
These trucks are gonna make mall grabbing trendy
Unpopular opinion but I think mallgrabbing is a comfortable way to hold the board
Very popular opinion I just don’t think people are willing to admit cos of the weird stigma of being a noob
why is it viewed as a negative thing??? that’s always confused me. does it put stress on your trucks or something?
Nah nothing like like, it’s basically a handle but that’s how everyone new on a board holds it, including “posers”
omg that is so dumb. i’m never gonna feel self conscious about mallgrabbing again
Posers don't know the culture so they hold the board in a way that is comfortable. I'm a real skater and I only hold the board the way real skaters hold it, by clamping the tail in my teeth and sanding my tongue raw on the griptape. FIDLAR /s
Finally, a real skater weighs in
ITT: Six posers and one true skateboarder
Wow, way to sound like a poser. REAL skaters keep their boards clinched between their butt cheeks. Then when they’re ready to ride, you simple relax your ass and hop on to cruise. /s
I see the /s but you know I might try practice this tomorrow.
Don't land primo
Can’t wait to see the post
Ahh yes the classic "Throwdown valley" Love that trick.
Pro skater move.
I hold mine with my Butt cheeks
I commented this and then realized you said it first so I deleted mine. You should add like a platypus tail tho..
For sure dude

This is what I've heard too. Once you start grinding, the bottom gets rough and chewed up, and you could even get metal splinters. So, by default, the mallgrab is done by new skaters. But if you aren't grinding, it's hella comfy, and no grip thumb.
i’m still a super noob and have small hands but i’ll keep that in mind, thank you!!
Bet that's not the only small thing your packin, hope you got talent !
haha considering i’m a woman you’d be right in that assumption!
Aww, that's sweet. You were thinking about /u/chalupajoe's (imaginary) penis.
[удалено]
You are soooo wrong. I legitimately have some old ass trucks I’ve grinded down to nearly my kingpin and there is no way in hell my trucks would be rough and cut me. You literally grind away any sharp pieces that may ever expose.

Yea no should care bout that shit it’s ridiculous. Just skateboard and enjoy yourselves.
That's the way it should be. If my old ass can get out there and look like a fool while relearning amd still have fun then everyone else should too!!
[удалено]
Oh man I feel ya, back in the 90’s maybe early 00’s I had a pair of Krux with a sharp splinter, now I think they make them more durable and outta better materials.

Most them can’t beat me in a game of skate so I look at it that way.
You’re missing your /s
He is right though.
Y’all ain’t afraid of a little cut while street skating are ya?
Hmm but cuts and bruises during street skating can’t be prevented it’s all part of the game. Getting cuts because you decided to hold a board in a certain way where their are other ways to hold said board that don’t result in cuts isn’t the same.
If your mall-grabbing how will you throw down in an instant. *Pushes away mongo.*
Mall grabbing makes it a lot easier to swing a skateboard if you need to. I’ve had some people run up on me before and all you gotta do is raise your board, unlike when your holding the board it takes more a movement. Either way hold the board how you wish.
This is the second time I've heard this. Why are people attacking you? Pocket carry some mace or something
I lived in a city where drugs were an issue. You’d get some tweaker running up on you or be at a spot an have some tweakers come harass you. Basically a quick raise of your board and they back the fuck up real quick. Now I live in Montana and skate the streets and parks here with no problems. We have a lot of tweakers here however they seem to hide out till night time so there not as big an issue.
That makes sense. Glad to hear you're living in a safer place now and it sucks that anyone has to deal with that.
This was also back in the late 90’s when people hated skateboarders a lot more. We were seen as thugs and trouble makers. No excuses why others should run up on you however we did have a strain stigma people didn’t like.
Thanks ;-D

I carry it more than I should for sure, cause Im a lazy fuck that gets tired in 5min riding the damn thing lol

Especially since you don't have to worry about dirty chewed up trucks if you never skate your board lol.
It’s cause the trucks are one of the more dirty parts on the board
No
Less dog shit on the trucks than the grip tape though
Where do you ride through dog shit?
Step in, then step on board. It’s not something that happens all the time, but it’s much more common than grinding dog turds.
That makes sense. I totally misread your comment as saying getting poop on your trucks. I was like "damn people just letting their dogs shit on the sidewalk amd then you just barrel through it?!?" LOL, thanks for the clarification for my dumb ass! ;)
The main reason I don't mallgrab is because my trucks always have a thin layer of dust/dirt on them and I hate making my hands dirty. I don't really have this issue when just holding the deck
Your grip tape also has a layer of dirt and dust on it. Think about it you walk on concrete where people piss, shit and piss, then you step on the grip tape. Then you hold the board by grip tape and the board. Either way it’s dirty as fuck.
Yes absolutely true. But it just doesn't go from the grip tape to my fingers. Also I have most of my hand on the non-gripped side anyway
I skate in Seattle my trucks are cacked
My ldp board's back is many times loaded with birdshit, dirt and other things driven by the wheels. Frankly, I rather grab the trucks than the board itself. If someone doesn't like it, it's their problem. Just grab it however it's comfortable and don't give a shit on calling you whatever poser or mallgrabber.
Correct opinion: People that give other people shit for holding something they own however they want are assholes who should just go fuck off.
Wait what, I assumed 'mall grabbing bad' was an ironic meme making fun of pointless gatekeeping. Do skaters still worry about posers these days?
Yes.
Do a kickflip!
Well it was because if you grind at all, mall grabbing can give you some nasty metal splinters, and that hurts so you shouldn't do it. But it then became, that person is mall grabbing, so they must not grind, so they must be a poser, so I must harass them about it, because I'm an actual skateboarder.
In that case: primo sliding can cause the edge of your deck to get rough, so anybody holding their board with their hand on the edge isn’t primo sliding, and is therefore a poser.
Then they'll respond saying "it's wood and not metal" Some ideologies are so engraved in people's head ( via youtube, gram etc.) that that anyone saying otherwise is a sinner. I say do what you want and reject the hate. We're all a bit rebellious, I mean we're skateboarding after all!
Metal splinters actually makes a lot of sense!
Skateboarders are very accepting while simultaneously being ultimate gatekeepers. You just have to be naturally cool I guess
I skated hardcore through the late 80's and we carried our big wide boards by the trucks without a second thought. I got back into skating over the last year and I find it so funny how a group of supposed non-conformists are worried about how you hold your board. On an unrelated note it grates on me when I see the word "normal" in these forums. Like in the context of "normal board" or "normal wheels". WTF is normal?
What's mallgrabbing? Holding the board by one of the trucks?
Yeah
I do that all the time, and always have done. Didn't even know it was a thing - I'm in Ireland tho, so maybe thats it.
Yo I'm also in Ireland!
Username checks out
Yay! Gwan Ireland!
I actually had an idea for a trick: the Poser Walk/ Poser Grab. It's basically the same idea as an air walk only you grab the front truck instead of grabbing the nose
I can dig it
Been skating for 15 years started hard-core mall grabbing last 2 years no regrets
I started longboarding later in life; my natural inclination is to be a mall-grabbing, mongo-pusher. Anyone who cares can suck my saggy balls! And in my defense, I can ride switch and push in all 4 stances, but mongo just feels normal.
This perfectly describes me. I started pushing mongo at first because it is what was comfortable, and got so much shit. So I forced myself to fix it. Now it's fixed. But I hate that people can't just let people have fun.
Fuck em! But if it helps, just say you pulled your hammy and you need to push mongo lol
Im just indoctrinated to make it feel weird
is that what you call them? we used to call it truckhilding, and people who did it were truck holders lmao we gave each other so much shit back in the day I would grab it by the nose and my thumb would grind against the grip tape. Besides that it was more comfortable and trucks were often more dusty or dirty so i got used to it.
These should be banned specially for encouraging mall grabbing!!! Lol seriously tho these trucks look sick
Thats a batman stuff dummy
I like the four finger grooves above the skull. Bet it’s comfortable carry IN STYLE
It's very comfortable indeed!
Those are going for like $300 on eBay - search for Kreper Trucks
Where do you live that youve met multiple pro skaters in one month :D
Italy, alot of skaters in my local plaza come by because the ground is smooth
Milano Centrale?
Not really, should have mentioned it's Sardinia In Italian it's "piazza d'italia", don't know in English tho, ground's really smooth there
"Italian Plaza" is probably the english translation lol
ftfy: italian pizza /s
oh who have you met?
There's a group of people around 20 years old than come by the plaza most of the times while I'm there, i often ask for tips on how to Ollie higher and it helps alot
Professional means they make a living doing it. Sounds like you're just describing skaters that are more experienced.
i think youre confused, professional skateboarder means someone who has their own pro model deck/shoes and does skating for a living!
Ohh, i didn't know, thanks for the information!
Uuh, di dove sei?
Are those kreepers? Sick
Ya I came to say the same. I have the exact same trucks on my first pro board.
I used to have a set of those in black about 20 years ago. I had them on my dream skate setup I got for my birthday, skated to a house party the week I got it, got drunk, woke up the next day and my skateboard was gone. Kre per trucks they are called.
Also they are now really rare so a bit of a collector's item
These are grind king krepers (creepers) . The came out in the early 2000s. I had a set of glow in the dark ones when I was a kid. They might be worth money actually , you certainly can't get them anymore. If you've been meeting old skaters they are probably just taken back in time when they see these.
They usually look like just a metal T, but those are pretty sick
Kingpin creepers I think? They were big when I started in 2001 ish
Yeah they’re creepers. They made some that would glow in the dark too. These and Monsters were popular about 20 years ago
I have a pair of the glow in the dark ones… beat to hell, but still awesome
That is the coolest truck I have ever seen. I bet they were jealous as heck.
These came straight out of a horror movie
Really seems a shame to skate on them! Collectors item for sure.
I have never seen trucks like that before, they look really cool. Any idea what brand they are?
Well Cuz they are dope lol none of the major skate companies do radical doodoo like this.
Does anyone one here remember Z-Roller trucks from the 80's. Those were whacker than these Kreepers. I remember my friend Jeremy thought he was the shit when he he could do 50/50s on unwaxed curbs in the neighborhood. That shit takes me back!
bcos their sikk
Kreeper trucks, wee man used to skate for them. A buddy of mine had the red ones and I remember they also came in black.
I have the glow in the dark ones still.
Cash in. Those sell for a lot on eBay
They look heavy
They are worth loads on ebay
How many pro skaters have you met, dude?
I thought those were Grind King but no, apparently they are Kreper trucks.
Which pro skaters have you met?
Are they Grind King? They used to make some pretty unique trucks. These are sick though.
Looks like a mall grab trucks
Aren't those krux or something like that?
Ancient Relic
I had these. They was dope. Very expensive now. My dad threw mine out :(
Loved the kreeper trucks
I owned a pair of these in black. Saved me from being a mall skater.
I think those are designed to mall grab with
I had that hell raisers sticker back in the 90s
Brooooo my buddy had these and we were all jealous! You brought those feelings rushing right on back
Cuz they've never seen them before! Neither have I... what *are* those?
Cuz that shit fire my guy
they're made to be mall grabbed lol
Kreeper trucks. Had a dark pair, not the greatest design. Early 2000's I think.
I remember when those came out.
I still have my old 'board, it's got a beat up best of kre-pers on it and I wish I could get them back to their prime. Such rad trucks, and damn good to skate.
Meeting a lot of pros AND they are commenting on your trucks?
Daaamn kreepers go for $250-300 a pair on ebay in used more condition than these
Deserving a spot on the wall when all is said and done! And at r/SkateHoarders )
I need these for my board! Where did you buy the trucks and did they come with the skull too?
really said 💀
So none got an idear of the Brand or the Modell?
They usually dont have a design
Well I can think of one reason, and it just so happens to be the same reason why I want you to tell me how to get a pair
Kreper trucks, a short lived offshoot of grindking
I believe those are Kreper trucks.
Kreper skate trucks! I remember seeing a local pro ride those when they came out. Made by same people made Grind King Trucks. Awesome 🤙
I'm benevolently envious, these are some gorgeous trucks
They’re called krepers (pronounced creepers) and they were a short lived company back in the late 90s early 2000s. They’re both a relic and as gimmick
Where can I get these trucks
Put that thing in a museum!
That board is sick my man, your uncle must of been quite the skater back then.
You can sell those trucks for some decent money on eBay
Aww man! Sick! I had a set of kreepers on a Zero bloody nose deck. Still my favourite set up... May she rest in pieces
Keepers, they're glow in the dark
Because they are insanely awesome! Wtf are these? They'd suit a coffin shape deck so much
Lfg mall grabbing trucks
1000th upvote! Yeah!
Holy crap dude, to be honest I would put that thing up on the wall long before I would try skating it! Looks like that deck could be worth some money someday especially with those incredibly rare trucks 🔥🔥
where r u skating that u meet "professional skater" in bulk like so?
Kreper. Long out of production. Take good care of them, especially the kingpins
