FROM VENICE BEACH TO GLOBAL STREETS
Few names in skateboarding hardware spark instant recognition like Grind King. Born in the gritty alleys of Venice Beach during the early 1990s, Grind King reshaped the truck landscape forever with the invention of the inverted kingpin — a revolutionary design that reduced hang-ups on grinds and changed how skaters attacked ledges and rails. The brand quickly rose to cult status among pros and street purists, prized for its precision, low profile, and forward-thinking design. Grind King became synonymous with innovation and style at a time when skate hardware was anything but glamorous.
THE LOCKER SERIES: MODERN TECH, CLASSIC SOUL
Fast-forward to today, and Grind King is back — stronger, smarter, and sharper than ever. The new Locker Trucks are a complete reimagining of the classic Grind King spirit, blending heritage design with modern engineering. Each truck incorporates a Lock-In Groove to stabilize grinds and keep your hangers centred, reducing slippage and improving balance on ledges and coping. The U-Beam Axle structure minimizes weight while maximizing strength, and the Hollow Kingpin delivers that signature lightweight feel Grind King was famous for. The Tri-Kush bushings offer buttery turns and rebound, while the Deck-Saver Baseplate disperses shock across your deck, helping prevent cracks from heavy impacts. Every detail feels fine-tuned for riders who demand precision without compromise.
BUILT FOR EVERY STYLE OF SKATEBOARDER
The Locker Trucks are available in a full range of sizes from 8.0″ to 9.5″, ensuring every skater can find the perfect fit — from tech street setups to pool-riding reissues. Offered in Black, Polished Silver, and vivid Orange, the aesthetic spectrum runs from clean and stealthy to bright and bold. The 8.25″ sits comfortably in the modern all-terrain sweet spot, while the 9.5″ brings unmatched stability for bowl and vert riders.
HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION
The Locker series doesn’t just revive an old name; it redefines it. Grind King’s original mission was to challenge the ordinary — to create hardware that helped skaters flow smoother and grind longer. The new lineup continues that legacy with updated materials, refined geometry, and enhanced turning dynamics that bring new life to a familiar feel. Features like the kingpin brace and adjustable wheelbase options put control back in the rider’s hands, offering customization rarely seen in stock trucks today.
THE KING RETURNS TO THE THRONE
The rebirth of Grind King is more than nostalgia; it’s a statement. The Locker Trucks embody everything that made the brand iconic — bold design, street-level ingenuity, and authentic performance — while proving that skate innovation never stopped evolving. Whether you’re an old-school fan returning to your roots or a new skater discovering the brand for the first time, these trucks deliver the legacy and the future in one clean package. The king has reclaimed his crown, and the streets are his kingdom once again.
