Ace Skateboard Trucks | ACE AF-1
ACE Trucks was founded in 2007 by Joey Tershay and Steve Ruge, driven by a shared vision to build the highest-performing skateboard trucks on the market. With decades of combined experience, their goal was clear in theory, but challenging in practice. Through perseverance and innovation, ACE navigated its early years, steadily growing both its team and its reputation within the skateboarding.
In 2017, Joey Pulsifer joined ACE as a third partner, bringing fresh ideas and technical advancements that elevated the strength and functionality of the trucks. This momentum culminated in April 2021 with the launch of the AF1, the strongest cast truck ever produced, marking a defining moment in the brand’s evolution and establishing ACE as one of the most sought-after truck brands worldwide and one of our best selling brands.

With decades of combined experience in the skate industry, Joey and Steve envisioned skateboard trucks that could withstand anything you throw at them whilst delivering unparalleled precision.

In its early years, ACE navigated the challenges of a competitive market with determination and innovation, steadily building a team dedicated to quality, design, and rider satisfaction.
