My Indys | Except they're actually used

Independent trucks have posted numerous videos on their channel of their riders showcasing their trucks, however, the majority of the videos expose the fact that most of them don't skate their trucks to their fullest potential imo.

[@MattiasWyatt]

What trucks do you skate and why?

[@whybecauseweedbro8392]

Destructo super light trucks, I'm a bit heavier at 170, but yeah bushings last, never broke a pair of trucks, currently riding an Elington deck, with spitfire wheels and shakejunt$ abec7 bearings.

[@Cliche10k]

Indys 💯

[@hellsebsixsicksix]

Hi its time try Royal trucks... The old rat that i am after ride indies, thunder blablabla can buy only Royal now on each different deck size set up, a love story, simply ❤ Smooth OG bushing with a lot of response, no noise and grind so good. Hope you will try to get your own opinion about 🎉 Peace

[@ETANGSKATES]

The Indy stage 4s are worth a try since they are truly the best turning trucks on the market

[@Aminormaze]

They’re cool but they grind down to the axel quicker than stage 11s

[@ETANGSKATES]

@@Aminormaze not for me they seemed to last longer for me and I grind to the axel in a month on regular sets

[@Aminormaze]

@@ETANGSKATES how? They literally have less metal above the hanger than that massive barrel design stage 11s have

[@ETANGSKATES]

@@Aminormaze I got the 9 Inch set so they have more material I’m guessing?

[@Aminormaze]

@@ETANGSKATES not as much metal at the 9inch stage 11 😂

You and ben degros are probably my favourite youtubers

[@Jandickau]

I‘m really in love with the turning of ace trucks

[@Jacobunny]

Nice crook grooves. I've switched back to Indys for the moment on my main 8.25 deck (Stage 11 Pedro Delfino Hollow 144s, plus have some Stage 11 Forged Hollows on my 8.0) but I rode a Pair of Thunder Lights to death on my 8.25 over the last 2.5yrs. The Indys feel more solid and give me less wheel bite but I really love the grind feel of the Thunders. Might go back to them on one of my decks...

[@butterbutter1]

hey could you do an update on how youre vx2000 is going, wanna see more videos of it

[@butterbutter1]

a review of your vx2000 would be good please post more

[@LilCrispyBoi]

Currently on Ace 55 classics on an 8.375 girl board and 54mm formula 4 conical full spitfires. I chuck 3 washers on the inside of each wheel to increase hanger width. I do like how smooth Ace grinds and turns. Downside is the pinch is not quite as good as say a Thunder or an Indy due to geometry. Wheel just hits the board a bit further back. They also grind down a lot quicker so if you’re all about trucks lasting as long as possible the stage 11 is the best option. Had the hollow titaniums for a while and they were great. Sold them to a mate when I changed board sizes.

[@MattiasWyatt]

Sound's like the perfect setup though!

[@LilCrispyBoi]

@@MattiasWyatt works perfectly well so far!

[@grobelis2948]

used to skate indys, but switched to thunders after one truck broke exactly like yours did. i feel like thunders are better just cause they look better :D

[@MattiasWyatt]

Damn. I feel like one of Indy's first batches of trucks must have been faulty. Personally I must say, I don't like the look of thunders. They look the NPC truck of skateboarding imo.

[@tskJimbo]

This video was so good

[@Monk.Michael]

I use three washers on the inside - that way you can push out the wheels a bit and get the most out of your 149s and also the nut will sit flush with the axle and cover / protect the axle threads on the outside.

[@kedrickbryant6797]

I used to skate indys, but then I had some hallows break just like this switched over to ACE and never looked back.

[@MattiasWyatt]

This might be the case for me 😈

[@ollie360w]

Facts about the bones bushings not working with Indy’s

[@MattiasWyatt]

Right?! It doesn't make any sense how people actually like them

[@ETANGSKATES]

Bro you could’ve sent that broken truck in to independent under the warranty and they Will replace them! But also i skate slappy trucks now and skated Indy’s for years and years I love the kingpin clearance

[@MattiasWyatt]

Yeah I’m aware of the warranty. But like I said in the video, I was on the go and didn’t have time to wait for a replacement 🥹

[@befer]

bro that twin tower board is CRAZY

[@MattiasWyatt]

Its an iconic photo of Biggie though!

[@deadbeatjack2584]

I'm still skating 90's Venture Featherlites... Made in USA...

[@MattiasWyatt]

They really don't make them like they used too...

[@NuTTyScuTTy]

I just got a pair of slappys. Theyre great. Give em a go!

[@sleepydog4205]

they have a pretty limited turn i feel like

[@NuTTyScuTTy]

@@sleepydog4205 i personally like my trucks medium tight so they feel solid to me

[@sleepydog4205]

@@NuTTyScuTTy the short kingpin makes the turn less deep i feel like

[@paunchcoorlightly4000]

I'm heavy and ace af1 hollows have lasted me almost 2 years now. I switched to hard bushings tho. Regular bushings are nice but get too loose when they get older.

[@jeremyestv2385]

Beautiful review 🙌🙌🙌

[@SkaterPoopyPants]

Were those inverted kingpins? I skate indy mids love them only problem they have is they seem to get loose for no reason because of the inverted kingpin I'm guessing

[@MattiasWyatt]

No, just the regular kingpins. Interesting problem though. I feel like that was the problem the first gen Lurpiv trucks had as well, with their inverted kingpin

[@SkaterPoopyPants]

@@MattiasWyatt i had a different set from the ones i skate now and they had that problem so bad i emailed indy asking about it and they said its a potential problem they have with the bolt getting stripped and they sent me back the same set with loctite on them xD retired that 3 year old set cause i sized up to 8.25 from 8.0and bought the same trucks knowing they might have that problem for my 8.25

[@MattiasWyatt]

@@SkaterPoopyPants Cool they themselves put loctite on them haha

[@holytoilet1166]

which wheels do u ride?

[@MattiasWyatt]

Spitfire F4 skate like a girl, I believe they were called! - the used to be 56 mm last year but they're getting a bit small for my liking 😬

[@Aminormaze]

Those look pretty fresh for 3 years old

[@MattiasWyatt]

They’re pretty beat irl 🥲

[@Aminormaze]

@@MattiasWyatt you kinda did the exact same thing they do in the my Indy videos where they try and put on that they’re more beat than they are

[@MattiasWyatt]

@@Aminormaze I guarantee mine are way more beat than most of the trucks in those videos 🤓

[@Aminormaze]

@@MattiasWyatt that’s not what I was saying

[@MattiasWyatt]

@@Aminormaze All good :) - What trucks do you skate?

[@Levi-lm5ln]

ace classics for me the best

[@cheekclapper3512]

you should get lurpivs when they release to the public soon!!

[@Treversoncorey]

I’ve never had a bushing break. Not any brand however I DO NOT RIDE WASHERS my trucks jiggle like a hoes instagram, maybe that’s why?

[@MattiasWyatt]

could be? Maybe I just have too much shit on my kingpins and I need to just remove some washers 🤷‍♀
