You can replace the wheels, bearings and even deck on a skateboard with fairly manageable consequences. But new trucks are a disaster you wouldn't wish on anyone. No one wants traditional truck designs to change because that would be like new trucks x100. This all relates to how difficult skateboarding is, and how your entire body's muscle memory is utterly reliant on a very specific set of reliable behaviours from your trucks. 'Improve' the trucks and the skater will get worse. So we're just not interested.
