FACT

Yeas — it’s spring time. Also known as the “time to begin talking shit”. I’ll start it right here: indys are the only trucks that actually turn, and everything else BLOWS.

  1. I’ve tried Indy’s quite a few times in my days and it wasn’t until recently that I switched and am finally satisfied. I use to ride ventures or thunders religiously, but I find myself wanting to be on my board with Indys more and more.

  2. only had 1 pair of indy’s and both kingpins broke within like two days of each other. never ridden them since

  3. as wonderful as indys are, i also like Krux. they turn amazingly. if i didnt have those, id deffinatly have indys… indys with the krux bushings? that would be gods gift to mankind. anywho… the guy that said he rides thunders… why? thunders hella suck… hella

  4. If you don’t ride indys chances are you really like to skate in a straight line and always need lots of wax.

  5. Skated Thunders for years, then set up some Indys and after 1 days i knew they were for me. 10 years later all they need are Bones bushings and they are golden. What up 93?!

  6. I have fury’s and they are just fine, also found some gullwings in the trash. The furys are way better than the gullwings, and the gullwings are pretty hard to ride, even if you want to go straight. next trucks will probably indy unless I want to pay shipping since all skateshops carry only the majors.

  7. ive had alot of different trucks. you want something good stick with any of these…fury,krux,titan or venture. none of this indy hype for me

  8. indy’s are the only way to go. for real the caddilac of trucks…but they gotta work on that axle slippage…yeah yeah i know all trucks slip but… >i will also mention the soft indy bushings (the RED ones) make for a nice set up.

  9. I think I have ridden everything….then I stuck with Venture religiously… Recently a friend and I were battling over a trick and the bet was that if he made it first, I had to ride Indy’s for the rest of my life. Needless to say…it was the best bet I ever loss. (just make sure to use Bones bushings)

  11. Over my skate lifespan I’ve ridden Trackers, Ventures, Thunders, Gullwings, Royals, Indy, and probably some others I’m forgetting. I’ve been riding strictly Indy’s for the past 4 years or so and I have to say I love them, but…I had pretty much the same thoughts about every single truck I’ve ridden throughout my skate “career”. Would I ever switch? Nope. Not sure if it’s because I think Indy’s are the best or just because I’m old and set in my ways. Who knows, just sayin. What’s up with straight lines and wax Nugget? Seriously?

  12. FACT : Talking shit knows no season…it’s there throughout the year for everyone to enjoy.

  13. Ki, you would know better than any, huh. for the record, ventures and thunders turn and grind just fine. Indys do to. Im backing indys right now, but Im not gonna hate onventures or thunders., You guys seem to have the hate covered. (great topic, g-zo)

  14. If anyone can get the footage of my slam at bam’s the other day, i suggest they do so, for it will be enjoyed by all. I may post hipper photos once the true colors come through…

  15. Im really satisfied with my ventures, rode tensors for a little while for what reason i dont know because i absolutly HATE tensors now, but yea ventures, in my opinion, the way to go.

  16. I’m hating on haveboard NEVER calling me to skate……yup…i said it…me and a certain bearded fellow are wondering why you are too cool for school???

  17. I’m hating on haveboard NEVER calling me to skate……yup…i said it…me and a certain bearded fellow are wondering why you are too cool for school???

  18. I dont call anyone to skate. I just go. I know this beardo you speak of. HE calls me to skate. Ki, you only call me when you need computer help.

  19. I hate wiping my ass. And again, if you’re riding anything other than Indy, you might as well put on a dress and twirl around.

  20. thunders suuuuuck… i always break them really quickly… they also didnt slide really well… maybe thats just since i dont skate ledges a whole lot, thus sucking at them… but whatever… my krux are the shit… to bad no one carries them

  21. i was all about krux. but i dont ride them cause no one carries them and its a pain in the ass ordering. i dont like ordering id rather just buy local at a shop. venture for life!

  22. I’m virtually useless as I never call anyone. Hell I never even answer when you call me. The jokes on all of you!

  23. i’m obsolete. use twitter, im, facebook, myspace, gmail, yahoo, or google instead.

  24. well, you know what sucks, is when you seek out spots then show certain people a new skatespot, tell them not to bring others for the sole fact of not wanting to blow it out, then have said person and or people show up with bondo, when it doesnt need it, and photo and video goons. Totally ruins a new spot when vultures perpetrate. Makes me not ever want to skate there again.

  25. i think independent has the most respect out of all the trucks companies. its just a good basic skate truck thats been around for years, everyone knows of it. for me it was my first set of trucks ever, so i grew up skating independent. thunder trucks are very good too. its kinda like nike, nike is def. the biggest shoe company, everyone wheres em and knoes of em, just like independent but for trucks not shoes!

  26. I don’t even ride Indies, but it’s a fucking insult to compare them to Nike. (please, let’s not start a Nike argument again)

  28. Let’s keep it real….the person is ME…i am THAT dude. I bondoed it….I skated it without permission, and I apologized….so that’s life. Shit happens. So everytime you roll up to it without a crack, you can think…..”Damn…I hate that Ki Dizzle, he ruined my spot..” well….whatev’s. I don’t think I’ll lose any sleep over it…

  30. What the hell are Ki Dizzel and Certain beard talking about? That was random as hell. ha ha

  31. C’mon, this is not LA. Do spots really get that blown out around here? Who complains about bondo fixing a spot anyhow??? “I love getting stuck in that crack”

  32. “Do spots really get that blown out around here” YES, they do. bondo can be good, but when beardo takes you to his spots, show some respect and KEEP IT REAL.

  33. “bondo, when it doesnt need it” east coast spots are rugged. bondo-ing something that is skateable just to make it easier? LAME.

  34. Thinking a spot is yours. LAME. Unless said spot is actually on your property in which case…NOT SO LAME. Bondo is NEVER LAME though video crews are…unless it’s Plain.

  35. trying to keep certain shit bust free, i find em, and i like to keep em free. doesnt that make sense? I quess we gotta keep what we do even more secret from now on. Oh, and i wasnt calling out any names, hence not calling you out by name. I was trying to keep it to a point, not calling out certain names Ki. You had to bring names in it, huh? It wasnt personal, it was more against the action, not the person, and you know that. Did you really have to let your ego get in the way and put your name on it? Oh, and Bondo sucks, skate the shit the way it is. Extreme cases overlooked, but not to make shit easier than it already is.

  36. hahhaa….this is great…give me something to read while I’m taking a shit….haahaha..keep it up…

  37. Bondo sucks? I am so confused. Why is something better when it sucks and has cracks? Honestly a smooth ground spot with a good granite bench would be real nice. Also a smooth concrete bowl that is small and tight would be great to learn on. Philly has neither. What ever.

  38. Its just an issue that me and certain other people won’t see eye to eye on….but the respect is there…two people passionate about what they do..ALWAYS causes problems…sure, there will be the occassional blow up on the internet..sometimes in person…but in the end..its fucking skateboarding

  39. ……I put my name out there, because why dance around it…everyone knows what happened..I’m not sweatin’ it. I don’t hide behind a shady screen name..My opinion is how I feel HERE and on the STREET…People get touchy when they feel threatened…but it wasn’t like that at all…it was on some other shit…two different approaches at the same goal…Doesnt make it wrong,but it didn’t make it right. its silly making enemies on some dumb shit…I thought we talked it out, and shit was cool…but I guess you’re still catching feelin’s. You don’t wanna show me your spots? fine…i’ve done well so far…i’m sure i’ll continue to be ok…but all this high school shit…..deaded…i graduated years ago.

  41. While you guys are crying about blown out spots and bondo you might want to pick me up. Oh yea, Kleneex fully supports Independents. Now go whine some more babies.

  42. on and unrelated note…a rogue effort of putting blocks under the bridge again was thwarted by philadelphia’s finest…..damn..

  43. look at all these responses damn, and haveboard reference in skateboard mag? blowin’ up!

  44. If your indy kingpins are breaking then you need to LOOSEN THAT SHIT UP!!!!! unforgivable. all the fagget kids at spots that skate all say my trucks are 2 loose, thats how their supposed to be faggs your supposed to turn not tic tac! fuck yo couch

  45. Indys are the best. All other trucks fail. Plus the Indy team is awesome, Reynolds…
