#TRUKLOOPS started in 2022 in Toronto, Ontario as a small project and just a hashtag on my personal Instagram, built from my love of tweaking setups and realizing Canada had no accessible colourful o-ring options. That little idea was upgraded from just a hashtag to a full fledged Instagram account and brand, a growing team of talented riders and a lineup of affordable gear for Canadians. It eventually led to the creation of our signature twin mold decks and custom real-wear and paper graphics.
We’ve attended (and even won!) multiple fingerboarding events, sponsored sessions, and connected with riders around the world. Our multicultural team, friends, and distributors have been a huge part of making this all happen!
#TRUKLOOPS is all about spreading good vibes, culture, and high performing gear to fingerboarders worldwide. We’re always improving our skills on and off the board and we’re hyped to have you along for the ride!
The Twin Mold Decks
#TRUKLOOPS M1 is the brand's signature twin mold. With it we craft handmade symmetrical low kick decks with medium concave and short wheelbase in two different shapes: Twin and Traditional (click HERE to learn more).
M1 Mold Details:
Twin low kicks - Same 20° angle kicks with the same shape and length on both sides. The board performs equally no matter the direction it is pointed at, making it perfect for technical riders that like to ride in multiple stances, and that want consistency between tricks. The low kicks ensure you don't get "ghost pop" by keeping your kicks lower to the ground. Having a strong, but lower pop, will make your tricks look more realistic.
Medium concave - Approximately 2mm deep concave that allows for a comfortable ride up to the moment you pop, flick and land your tricks. The concave distance of 30mm connects to the deck's dips smoothly, allowing for fast flicks and comfortable scoops that can be controlled more easily. Feels good, looks good.
Short wheelbase - 55.5mm wheelbase from the furthest holes give the overall deck a good weight distribution for the twin kicks to perform evenly, regardless of the trucks you use.
The O-rings
These 3.6mm outer diameter o-rings are made out of a synthetic rubber specifically manufactured in the United States for our supplier, instead of the usual cheaper and weaker silicone used by other manufacturers. This material gives the product more resistance, flexibility and above all, durability with precise measurements and flashy colours that will work on any fingerboard truck. #TRUKLOOPS o-rings come in 23 different colours, all of which are named in Portuguese, as a way of spreading the culture and language. The package also comes with 4 washers which will allow you to customize how tight or loose you want your trucks to be. The more washers you use, the tighter your ride will be. Feel free to play around with different combinations of washers and o-rings and even adding other brands of bushings for a different feel!
The Locknuts
These 2mm outer diameter locknuts are made out of copper and nylon. The former ensures proper weight and resistance, while the latter acts as a lock system for your nut allowing for it to stay tight on your kingpins and/or axles. They fit any kind of fingerboard truck and keep your loops and wheels safe from flying with the wind mid-tricks! #TRUKLOOPS locknuts come in 3 different colours and each set includes 6 locknuts.
