Thunder Trucks started out in the 80's but due to their hard-to-hanle turning radius, the brand was for long sort of an underground label. The big rumble eventually came in the early 2000's when Thunder changed their construction so that the trucks became more stable while keeping their super-tight turn. Shortly, almost everybody skated Thunder and the pros fought to be on the Thunder team which today consists of Sean Malto, Marc Johnson, Mark Appleyard, Dennis Busenitz, Elissa Steamer, Chris Cole and Lewis Marnell among others. www.thundertrucks.com
