I've always liked Independent trucks. I wish I'd gotten some of the older stages and hoarded away my gear. I'm actually starting to replace more of my reverse king-pin trucks with Indy's and Bennetts.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: Since 1986
What Setup are you running them on?: Currently: 169's on EW 38" Drifter, Poolking Stefaun.
215's on Loaded Vanguard

Typical Discepline?: Commuting/ slide/ park
How much did you pay for them?: $17-$20
Where did you buy them?: Everywhere, online, brick and mortar stores.
What are their weaknesses?: Lack of old school holes, new knurled kingpin means you can't easily replace them with longer ones. You need a longer kingpin to add some turnier bushings up top, like Khiro Barrels.
What are their strengths?: I love the way they turn, and they've been around forever.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Trackers, Venture, no-name.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Buy these. If you plan to go faster than 20mph, know what bushing set-up to replace the stock bushings with. If you plan on grinding coping, rails, or ledges then replace the king pin with Grind Kings'.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: All 8 years of skateboarding joy
What Setup are you running them on?: I've run them on regular pop-sickle stick boards for the last 7 years and have a pair on my 40" Gravity Brad Edwards.
Typical Discepline?: Old School Street Skating
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: Salty's Boardshop
What are their weaknesses?: Heavy as jank and the design of the truck the king pin can get scraped down while grinding stuff.
What are their strengths?: Indestructible trucks and the soul of skateboarding embodied in a truck
Would you recommend them?: Yes

great slalom front, amazing feel. and the indy design has been around for decades, so they must be doing something right.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: two years
What Setup are you running them on?: 101s on on the front of my slaler. 169s on my s9 pin.
Typical Discepline?: slalom and speed carver
What are their weaknesses?: the new stage 9 plates suck, because it uses that button type kingpin. so you can easily swap out for a longer one.
What are their strengths?: on the 101s they just have a very unique feel to them. super quick turning with a decent amount to lean.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
