“new indy's”
★☆☆☆☆
written by craig1234lkjh on 09/07/2011
I've skated indy's for the last 16 years.
I can't say I've broken any, but I do grind them away.
I skate ramp, bowls and do lots of grinds. I'm a bit old to be doing all the new flips although I did when I was younger.
The new trucks have a weird way of turning, first you lean on them a little and then a little more (loose ish trucks) and they don't turn with your body weight. The with a bit more weight the fly around the corner way to quick.
Had my worst slam in 28 years of skating getting used to the way theses move, with a back injury. The real shame is I've loved indy's for so long I spend 40 hours mirror polishing this set of the trucks for fun. I don't even have the heart to have given this set away, they went in the bin after skating them 10 times and mirror polished them, then I chucked 'em in the bin...
A real shame Indy! 16 years of fun with you are over and I can't even put on my once prized indy hoodies and t's on in public as I don't believe in your product any more.
Maybe they are better for street?
Back to grindkings or thunders
Very very sorry,
Craig

Peeweeherman's Response to craig1234lkjh's Review
Written on: 25/08/2014
So, you fall and blame the trucks? To be blunt: you didn't take adequate time to get used to a new pair of trucks. I've been riding Indy's since the 80's and of course they've changes some, the feel of Indy's isn't *exactly* what it was with Stage 7 and earlier models, but they also had to cut a lot of weight to make them viable for modern skating. Regardless, overall they still skate better than any other trucks on the market, regardless of whether you're skating street or tranny. I can go from skating ledges to a 12' vert ramp on the same pair of trucks without so much as adjusting the kingpin nut.
As a side note: your opinion lost all credibility when you mentioned Grind King, which have pretty much always been terrible. They've always been a longboard company first and foremost, and have NEVER made good trucks for real skateboarding.
