Royal Skateboard Trucks, a staple in the skateboarding world, has a history rooted in innovation and rider-focused performance. Established in the late 1990s by skate legends Guy Mariano and Rudy Johnson, both wildly influential pro street skateboarders. The company is based in Torrance, California and is part of the Girl skateboard family. Royal quickly became synonymous with high-quality trucks that delivered a perfect blend of durability and style. Designed with input from pro skateboarders, Royal trucks were tailored to meet the
demands of tech street skating while maintaining versatility for any terrain.
What set Royal apart from the beginning was its commitment to functionality without compromise. The brand embraced clean, timeless designs that appealed to skaters who valued both performance and style. With their light weight and sturdy construction, Royal trucks worked hard to earn a loyal following, becoming a favorite within select skate communities.
As skateboarding continues to evolve, so does Royal. The brand is now looking toward the future with a renewed focus on sustainability and technological advancements. Royal has started exploring eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes to reduce its environmental impact to keep us pushing on this Earth for longer. At the same time, new hanger and base plate designs aim to improve grind clearance, responsiveness, and overall durability to meet the needs of modern skaters pushing skateboarding to the limits.
Collaborations with up-and-comers and well established pros keep Royal relevant in an ever-changing industry. These partnerships allow the brand to stay connected with the skateboarding community and provide products that reflect the diverse styles and preferences of today’s riders.
Royal Trucks has always been about progression, and its dedication to innovation ensures it will remain a cornerstone of skateboarding for years to come.
