Super good deal for what they are. MiniLogo trucks are solid. The decks are birch and not the same as the maple ones you buy as a deck only - so I would only advise using them for kids or beginners. But given that the MiniLogo sub-assembly (trucks, wheels and bearings) costs $59, the deck is free.
I wish they would release some Powell Peralta trucks with similar geometry to the ML. Just make the PP trucks higher…like 55mm and wider….like 9” or 9.25”. I ride 60mm wheels and the ML trucks with a 1/2 inch riser just doesn’t feel right.
SkateOne are working on new trucks. Both Andy Anderson and Zach Doelling have been seen skating the traditional kingpin ones, and they have a reverse kingpin skate truck that Zach has been on and off (my guess is through different versions) for over a year. They look like a higher end truck than the MiniLogo ones and I would guess they will be at a higher price point. No guesses on what brand they would come out as, or if they would create a new brand.
Given how long SkateOne takes to test product, I don't know if I would expect them this year - but I am looking forward to them.
Seriously, can anyone shed a little light on the snub-nose? Was that just Rodriguez's preference? Why would you want to skate a deck with that short of a nose?
@AnimalChin Are there any new deck shapes in the works? I find 15" wheelbases too long, but like wider boards. I would personally love a full 8.75 on the K20 concave with the 14.375 wheelbase. Basically a fatter 244 shape.

Any updates @AnimalChin ?

I wouldn't. 6.7" and up please.
