Growing up in a small town in New Jersey, Ronnie Kessner was set to head to Chiropractic school when he decided to take the window skateboarding offered. Fast forward to now and he’s riding for Shane O’neill’s company, April, and working on his own album. A while back we visited Ronnie to get a look into his process for making music and hear what he’s working on next. Thunder Trucks are ahead of the game when it comes to maximizing strength. With sturdy baseplates are compression molded, making them lighter, stronger, and more impact resistant. Show your support for your favorite company and get yourself riding on Thunder Trucks today!
Thunder has been woven into street skateboarding for decades, standing as one of the most reliable and rider-driven truck brands ever built. Born under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella in San Francisco, Thunder emerged in the 1980s just as street skating was exploding and the need for lighter, sharper-turning trucks became undeniable. Where other companies chased beefier geometry and bulk, Thunder leaned into responsiveness, speed, and that signature quick snap that would eventually define an entire style of skating.
Through the ’90s and 2000s, Thunder became a fixture on skaters’ setups from EMB and Pier 7 to every ledge-spot scene that followed, earning its reputation through loyalty rather than loud marketing.
Thunder’s identity has always been tied to that SF street grit: fast, tight, and built for pushing the limits of technical skating.
