About Royal

Royal Skateboard Trucks emerged from the legendary Girl Skateboards family in 1999, co-founded by street skating pioneers Guy Mariano and Rudy Johnson. Based in Torrance, California, Royal focuses on one thing: making skateboard trucks that respond exactly how riders want them to. Their reputation comes from solid construction, thoughtful geometry, and a deep understanding of what street skaters need to land tricks consistently.

Royal's proprietary Fusion Cast process makes their skateboard trucks stronger than traditionally forged trucks, while hand-poured bushings and pivot cups ensure durability and feel. The brand's Sacred Geometry design delivers responsive turning without sacrificing stability, and their Ultra Light trucks use hollow kingpins and axles to shave weight without compromising strength. Royal trucks come in multiple configurations to suit different riding styles, from standard height setups for technical street skating to inverted designs with extra kingpin clearance for grinds. Every detail reflects riders' actual needs, not marketing trends.

FAQ

What makes Royal skateboard trucks different from other brands?
Royal uses a proprietary Fusion Cast process that makes their trucks stronger than forged alternatives. Their Sacred Geometry design delivers responsive turning, and they hand-pour their own bushings and pivot cups for consistent quality. The attention to detail comes from founders Guy Mariano and Rudy Johnson, who were pro street skaters themselves.
Are Royal Ultra Light trucks worth the extra cost?
Royal Ultra Light trucks use hollow kingpins and axles to reduce weight by 7 percent without sacrificing strength. The lighter setup can help with flip tricks and technical maneuvers. Whether they're worth it depends on your riding style, but the engineering is legitimate.
What skateboard truck height does Royal offer?
Royal makes low and standard height trucks, both designed for street skating and park riding. They also offer Inverted trucks with extra kingpin clearance to prevent hang-ups on grinds like Smiths and Feebles.
Who founded Royal Skateboard Trucks?
Royal was co-founded in 1999 by Rudy Johnson and Guy Mariano, both pioneering street skateboarders who were part of the original Girl Skateboards team. The brand operates under the Crailtap umbrella, which also owns Girl, Chocolate, and Lakai.
What size boards do Royal trucks work best on?
Royal trucks are favored by riders using boards between 7.775 inches and 8.25 inches wide, which is the typical range for street and technical skating. The trucks are available in different hanger widths to match various deck sizes.
