Whatsup With Independent Trucks?

that ad was next level 🤣

That ad was legendary! Rare form @dadboard! 10/10 content

Guess I gotta good reason to watch the hilarious skits again.

[@dadboard]

Unfortunately had to cut the first portion of the video because of some copyright shit that should have been cleared but was causing me problems

[@256k_]

dude that board shape looks so good

[@dadboard]

It’s so fun! Generator wood GS5 👊

[@MickyThunderV]

Hot take I like the new logo. What I don't like: Titaniums keep breaking on flat ground tricks. It's the only truck that's ever happened to me and it happened 3 times so the most expensive truck from Indy is just hot garbage. On the other hand you get new ones every time so well

[@dadboard]

@@MickyThunderV I agree that diamond logo inside the circle is pretty dope actually. I know if you contact NHS they’ll replace defective products, there should be a way to contact them through their website, but that fuckin sucks dude. On flatground? Sheesh

[@mlevy88]

The ad 😂😂

[@itsjustahmad]

Yooo… I was planning to watch it again anyway but, what happened that you had to re-upload this video?

[@dadboard]

Licensing bullshit around one song that was in the beginning of the video. I pay a monthly subscription to use songs from this one library but every now and then there’s some weird red tape and the publisher will auto flag the track and KZbin will remove or hold monetization. Normally this issue sorts itself out almost instantly but this time it had been 3 days and I got tired of waiting so I just chopped the intro to the video and reloaded it. 😪

[@mhtate3626]

@@dadboard Ah man bummer but thanks for letting us know. I came back to watch too because that nollie almost feeble lock-in on the curb had me contemplating life. Best wishes!

I love your video. Maybe I will go back to indy. I'm back home with thunders

[@Asanhokcrook]

Always the vibes. Forget what indys i got. But there heavy!! Heavy but strong lol

[@NorvilleRogers-MYSTERY-INC]

I love Indy though my latest pair of indy mids have been givin me issues. Mighta just been a bung pair but the baseplate nut appears to have widened and so they're loose no matter how much you tighten them. Anywho, great video homie! And Tim Pool is a tool!

[@dadboard]

The kingpin nut?

[@NorvilleRogers-MYSTERY-INC]

@@dadboard yeah the kingpin nut*

[@sonnyrico]

I skated ace for a summer but kept eating shit in bowls due to the squirrelly nature, went back to indys and rest is history

[@tonyvolume666]

When you put in the Ace Hard bushings, it makes them soooooo much better. I was an Indy guy forever, but I was having the same issue with aces until I got their hard bushings. They made them the perfect truck. 55 classics with the hard bushings is absolute perfection.

[@patlatenkiy]

​​@@tonyvolume666I prefer thunder to ace af1, on ace af1(ofc with hard ace bushings) I have wobbling on high speed. On thunder my pop more accurate and Ollie is higher. Maybe af1 for light guyz, I'm not heavy, 180lbs... My bro who lighter has np on ace.

[@tonyvolume666]

@@patlatenkiy I’m 6’3 and 235 pounds. I always thought thunders turned weird and couldn’t ever get it to feel right. Those Aces feel so much better in my opinion.

[@sonnyrico]

@@tonyvolume666 I had the hard bushings, they did feel better but unpredictable when hauling ass. Just my thought though. Fine for slappys and goofing off

[@billybob6845]

Jesus ! Bring back the cross ! 🤣

[@jaimecairl6665]

I have a love/hate relationship with Indy's. Ive got some stage 10s and 11s, but they just don't suit my style of skating. I stick with Venture and Royals. I like lower trucks overall.

[@Chocalateshake]

Still my favorite truck

[@Nateashnine]

Don’t agree with your take on the Indy cross but love the videos man keep killing it.

[@dadboard]

I don’t have any issues with the cross. It’s the people who won’t stfu about it that annoy me 😂

[@Nateashnine]

@@dadboard i get that. there are a lot of whiny folks out there who get caught up on issues that aren’t necessarily that important.

[@KarstenThoughts]

Venture review next?

[@_SirCharge]

I understand how folks need to move on but think it’s lame that ppl saw it as racist. As a proud Puerto Rican I definitely don’t have love for white power ideology but let’s be real guys like Hosoi, Gonz and Louie Lopez have never been Nazi apologists. I find folks trying to insinuate that those guys are quietly allowing or supporting racism is more offensive than a symbol. Skating is more important to me than being reminded of WW2 Especially in a time where the victims and ancestors of Neo Nazi are OPENLY committing a GENOCIDE of Arabs today. Radical AshkeNAZI are the Nazi of our time, and history will look at them with the same disgust one day. I know I’ll never forget it.

[@dadboard]

Shoutout to Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 very well said. I do agree with you that the majority of people and skaters never associated the logo with racism, but I can also see why it could have been problematic for some people and whoever made the decision at NHS probably had good enough reason to shelv such an iconic logo. I just take issue with the people in every Indy comment section still complaining about the cross as if it was some symbol of their own identity and by taking it away they’ve somehow taken sides in some make believe culture war. It’s a fuckin logo, yeah it was cool but maybe we don’t know the whole story, maybe someone got fuckin stabbed because they were wearing an Indy logo and someone mistook it as an iron cross? Who knows, man.

[@_SirCharge]

@@dadboard fully agree. it’s a logo and shouldn’t effect one’s identity 😭 no more than the monster logo. Keep posting your content I really enjoy it peace.

[@Ricksboxoftricks]

What board is that? Looks like square tail. My INDY’s are great! I haven’t had any issues with the 169’s

[@dadboard]

It’s a generator GS5. I love it. It’s based off of an early 90’s world shape

[@stackflowovercuckoosnest633]

My last pair of indys came with a slipped axle from the start, and after one session the kingpin bolt was so mangled I couldn't tighten or loosen it anymore. Switched to thunder and I'm happy. Don't buy chinese indys.

[@dadboard]

Sucks you had a bad experience but defects can happen. I’ve had faulty AF1’s too. Pretty sure NHS will replace anything that isn’t broken due to extended use of you contact them.

[@ryanpervola163]

The quality of the trucks is important than a logo. Like who cares.

[@hou5eheadjason]

deja vu

[@MrFrancismanacis]

Thank god on the thoughts on the Iron Cross.. it was iconic, but time to let that shit go! No woke shit here, but the times are changing, and thats cool!

[@dadboard]

I had no problem with the cross logo, I thought it was sick too. But it’s hella dumb how some people took it as an excuse to make it into another dogwhistle for their own weird culture war bullshit.

[@vorpalblades]

It wasn't an Iron Cross anyway. It's a heraldic emblem, the cross pattée.

@@dadboardI’m with that too. Think the cross was iconic and by far better looking than any of the logos they’ve tried to go with after it. But who cares? It’s not like it’s ”THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS” 😂!

[@RedBoard86]

Watching and commenting again to help you with the algorithm I rolled my ankle practicing my heelflips last night. I’m off my board for a while. The worst part is that I didn’t get it on video, haha

[@dadboard]

You’re the best, thank you 🙏 very sorry to hear about your ankle, dude :( hope you heal up quickly

[@smellslikerum]

Lols the 1900s is where i got my first indies too. The cross thing is insignificant. Just a big company pandering to the ebbs and flows of the times. Not sure how it got associated with hate tho... was it just cus its similar to the iron cross?

[@whoisdyl5486]

I want the cross just cause it’s like a stamp of authenticity. It’s like if Venture got rid of the V design on the hangar

[@dadboard]

At the end of the day it’s just a company’s logo. The trucks are awesome with or without it.
