Eric Dressen Sizes Up From 149s to 159s | MY INDYS

[@SantaCruzSkateboards]

YEAH DRESSEN ❤️🔥‼️

[@rollercity]

Ohh fuck yah bahddd

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

I've always got the impression that Dressen is still just a little skate kid at heart, so sick to see!

[@DanHovington]

best compliment ever !

[@bargerkenneth]

So fuckin great. I feel like Eric never lost that little-kid feeling of just being a huge fan of skateboarding, even though he's one of our heroes now. I mean this is a dude who has had Thrasher covers and shit. I'm such a fan of Eric Dressen.

[@jstock176]

Dressen!!! Proud to have some of his tattoo work on me. Nicest dude on the planet.

[@MrBailliebugs]

That’s so rad!

[@_....J........................]

Dressen is 10 years older than me. It gets a lot harder to skate, the older you get. Wish I had lived healthy, done yoga, taiji, and stretching since day one. Listen up Kader Silla's generation, there's tombstones in your eyes, loolll

[@juanfo7307]

The crete gets harder in slams

[@franciscoramirez9867]

Sylla aka wishes he was Silva Anderson hoooooooo

[@yajeeb2004]

can still do all that and get fucked up, or just unlucky though, poor health whatever (got both injury to back 2 of them and poor health due to multiple factors and i was only 16-17 then 22-23 when shit really hit the fan and still dealing with on going stuff some directly related to it other indirectly caused other issuse), id say just dont eat trans fats skate often and exercise daily or do something physical daily even long walk were built to move keep moving as long as can keep using brain and thats best can do and hope your cards and hand in life plays out alright, no dramatic depressing lows lol steady gentle negative waves and big fat positive good ones.

[@heathschmidt7516]

In the words of Jeff Grasso.”Eric dressin is skateboard royalty!! Thanks Indy for this video!!🔥🔥🔥

[@johnpark888]

1,000% cousin

[@randall7418]

News alert. Eric Dressen you are a living skate legend

[@justinmuir9163]

Love how stoked out he still is after all these years

[@nobodysreview6137]

I think Dressen in Spead Freaks is one of the best video parts ever.

[@adda89]

always great to hear X playing in the background

[@ojwheels]

The man!

[@Clarke1982]

I love how geeky and stoked he is on how board set ups look. I feel the same. Some peoples set ups look so clean, so on point. Colour coordinated, the geometry just right, the style, all of it, just right.. That's how it should be. That's how a skateboard and skateboarding should be... Something to be stoked about.

[@hghrmnds816]

They said never lose your inner child. You get to enjoy life simple like we all miss… Eric is that!💯 Saul love bredren

[@davidvanvliet193]

Riding the standard 139 Milton, black baseplate, blue cross on the hanger, white bushings. The Best.

[@deomeslives]

that setup is badass Dressen!!

[@jbarbs808]

Dressen and Knox,my first big influences in skateboarding.

[@chrhadden]

that board is bad ass. i just went from 159 to 169 titanium' and i love them. so much control and stability

[@adrianbenedykt7591]

Dressen is a 53 years old child. Love your passion about your gear...like a child who won a skate from Santa.

[@jefwhitehead4301]

Kindest man ever… ❤️‍🔥

[@johnpark888]

That's my cousin! Yeah boi what a ledgend. Always got such sikk style!

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

Yes 159s are my size also, street n ramps they feel perfect

[@marcp3788]

Can't believe you're changing your logo

[@jaimemedina6895]

Please do one with Brian Brannon. So hyped to see his 215's!

[@1pilgram1]

So humble what a class act

[@Cashrock]

Love Eric D, he the man! Respect 'till the end of time, oh yeahhh!!!

[@RobbyBobby369]

Loved watching this and love his style. I enjoy the speed aspect the most when riding bowls. I also obsess over each part of a build, and currently have decks and wheels purchased years ago waiting for the right build and time to use. I'm a year older and plan to keep riding for at least 5 and hopefully another 10 years. Too old to ride a skateboard - No such thing!

[@topdeckdog]

You're one hell of a dude Dressen! You inspire me to be a nicer dude, not just a better skater.

[@TC1Z2L3]

I remember when Eric Dressen came to Skate Street Ventura back in the late 90's. He ripped that place a new A-Hole. I thought I had seen it all there but his aggressive transition style was taking him to places no one had yet dared. Eric beat out all the top skaters of the time to get 2nd, losing only to a Brazilian who had been using SS as his local training ground for months. I'll always consider Eric the best skater that weekend. Even with Jamie Thomas doing just about everything everywhere in practice.

[@dbc.ash.]

DBC..DAILY BLESSINGS COMING! THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING, EVERYDAY!!

[@christopherrobinson9690]

I love the Indy!! But I own a couple thunders also! I have five sets of indies. All 144 . 149. An one 159. Started on thunders but gravity drew me to Indy’s. I like both. They have their strengths and cons. But I ride indies the most. Lol users error I eat it more on thunders than indies looking back . Love these indies videos. I know there is only so many pros who ride indies for screen time but keep them coming! I like the videos that makes my purchase feel well worth it!!

[@deomeslives]

🔥Dressen rules!!!🤙🏽 so does Indys!!!💯😎🛹

[@michaeljohn8905]

Big Dawg I always love watching Dressen ! The man !

[@cappierising1774]

[@franciscoramirez9867]

First time I've heard of someone putting in diff bushings other than 92a orange mediums or bones, considered trying the white softs cool to see dressen digs em

[@franciscoramirez9867]

90a my bad

[@anhiirr]

[@antoniomendoza5811]

Sick set up

[@JK..INFX.D....]

Dressen Is INDY Trucks. I wanted to ride them Like him since the late 80's , The way the turned in "Speed freaks'", Agro .

[@borisbadenov9863]

You go, dude!

[@BaylenRailey]

Everyone likes Dressen

[@realjsm]

Old Star!

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

159s standard, those are the ones I ride, I use a 8.6 board though. If I ever get 149s I would use an 8.3.

[@marshall1556]

out of all the trucks ive rode indys grind the best turn the best and last the longest

[@noritube773]

This dude seems so fucking nice!

[@wintonansley801]

Could we get a erick winkoski "my Indys"

[@drill4408]

Sick! Can we see a Chris Joslin my indys next

[@toiletpaper5770]

Is this the same independent that used to have the cool logo?

[@vorpalblades]

And used to not be made in China.

[@howdyitsdavid]

Eric get on ACE 🏁🏁🏁

[@jmoon6012]

YESS

[@JawsHLL]

legend

[@jasondyeoriginalmusic3094]

That's what's up

[@josephmunozmunoz6933]

I remember skating Indys back in the day.. oh how I miss having free time/:

[@racerx3669]

Jail sucks. At least you got internet.

[@chrisl3856]

Anyone know why he skates the mini combos, and specifically with the radial side in? Wouldn’t the conical/hardline side be better for locking into the coping?

[@SKATEGRAFFDANK]

Rip Henry Gartland ..Deressen Bestfriend

[@michaellorenzen8200]

yes ! Duane !

[@M1ncecorn]

Pedro Delfino next👖🤙

[@squashua7727]

His board has a motorcycle aesthetic to me , anybody else

[@Perryprime1999]

Im with ya on that

[@damnedbelowjudas_]

I kinda see it

[@benjaminwilson7668]

Like a hipster motorcycle club vibe

[@inalavalamp]

Maybe motorcycles have that skateboard aesthetic these days?

[@RikRiorik]

Yeah. Love all that Dressen Roses stuff. Got the board in the vid, the pink old school reissue deck and a Dressen Roses Kit Jacket.

[@Somethingcook202]

Yo independent trucks can you guys do more videos with Eric dressan and Salba

[@the_laybacks]

So where does Indy stand with the original logo, is it still be put on products, or have they completely parted ways with it?

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

Gone i think

[@larryholmes1833]

They got rid of the Maltese cross? That’s like their trademark

[@warrenporter5235]

They are slowly fading it out. The official stamp has been taken off of the baseplate on the latest trucks, alongside the most recent adds implementing the new diamond style logo. I think the original logo will still be featured on some products, but the new logo will be used more frequently for the majority of their releases.

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

Its because the nazis used a similar cross and in this sjw snowflake world its offensive or some crap😑

[@loadedfun4764]

Not sure I get it.... they’re removing the Maltese cross from the trucks yet screws, t-shirts and all other merch will still continue to have it... skaters associate Independent trucks with the unmistakable Maltese cross... fireman use it for a backdrop on their shield , not the nazi’s. I would think now they’ll associate the diamond with them being outsourced to China . IMO

[@mrmedl4]

Life goal : be as stoked on skating as Eric Dressen is when I’m his age

[@beatriz1488]

ERIIIIC❤️❤️❤️❤️ DRESSSEEEN❤️❤️❤️🤗

[@twindr4kes]

Do old pro indys restock? Like for example: Grant Taylor’s independent engine trucks

[@Tricerictops4]

No, maybe try eBay or in another country

[@BK-tp3sg]

Eric rules

[@MaitreZelKao]

hey, i ride 8.5 with 149s trucks, should i upgrade to 159s ?

[@noahnelson1944]

YES that’s what I’m riding rn had the same situation I changed to 159 and I’m never going back they turned much more fluid and better plus there’s more room to grind on stuff

[@RazyOsa]

yes. dosent stick out as much as youd think it would. not at all rlly maybe a thread or two from the axle but not much. hey i would recoomend tho using two axle washers on the side between wheel and hanger so that the wheel covers more of the axle threads so ur axle threads dont get as stripped away, especially since ur axles "stick out further" then say a 149 truck on a 8.5 board pacificly

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

No need, 149 fits 8.5 perfect

[@sparky5815]

169s

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

149/8.5, 159/8.75, 169/9.125 thats a general guide

[@sebastianlinangaray6454]

I love Dressen

[@marcelosoldatellisoldatell2426]

Grind the best.....FTR

[@christophercrone2117]

God thankyou Jesus for this man...no one can pull at my heart like erric dressen

[@heathschmidt7516]

Well said!!

[@vicentearenas008]

Fuck yeah Dressen!!

[@jeffkeni]

What's the tune playing in the background?

[@joeskull]

Hmmmm... smaller wheel and no 1/8” riser? Might have to give that set up a whirl.

[@drpantz7732]

If you were to melt Dressen down you would see what the pure essense of skating looks like!

[@1saac.114]

His local park is my local in Torrance ca

[@DONTCRASHJET]

Man I have those wheels and they’re beautiful

[@catopwnzify]

Where do we get these trucks? Holy shit i like em a lot.

[@D0CT0RD00M]

Dresden probably loves winkowskis trucks

[@damnedbelowjudas_]

Damn here I am with 139mms

[@toiletpaper5770]

Hey, did you guys change your logo?

[@loadedfun4764]
