    The best new indies are stage 7s stage nine base plates break easily stage 8 hangers bend easily and sometimes break if I were to buy new school indies again I would get stage 7s. Stage 6s are the best old school indy I would buy a second hand set of stage 6 149s or 159s as you can occassoinaly still get second hand indies. Stage 6s are very strong but very heavy but fine for me as I am an old school and do not do flip tricks so do not need a low truck.

    Overall they are the best, and the lifetime guarantee is rad too. but if you must have some other truck company go for thunder they are pretty good too.

    Independents are great trucks, the only pro trucks I have ever owned (1989-2006). I have skated with a lot of others, they maybe lighter but not the same. Indys are strong, great for grinding, drops & are very responsive for smooth turns & recovering. I love my Indys!

    I recommend the Stage-8 not the S-9. The guys at Indy need to make them right with a Stage 10. Indys for ever!

    Independent Trucks are really good. I bought them second hand and my friend then bought them from me after id had them for 6 months and there still in good skating order. As I say they are indestructible. They are a bit heavy, and hard to get used to flip tricks on, but hey who cares. If you need trucks to last you a long time (e.g. bomb proof ones) these are for you.

    These Independent Trucks lasted through 4 and 1/2 abusing years of skating, grinds, tricks...ect... If your looking for strong long lasting trucks then Independent trucks are the one.

    Independent Trucks are amazing trucks, lasted me two years and I'm only getting a new pair of Indys as my board fell in a lake.

    There is no other company like Independent, they have been core for 25 years and they still crush every other company. They don't need this and that to be good, they just are, and nothing feels the same after you ride them. You will be sold with one push.

    Independent Trucks are the best trucks in the world. they are cheap and durable. They are life time guaranteed and that is also a plus. Go get them. you won't regret it. Don't get Bams they suck and they break fast as hell. stick with Independent.

    The Independent Trucks trucks have lots of grind in them. But they're the HEAVIEST TRUCKS I've ever used. I've had mine for about 3 months. I used to be able to grind ledges 1.5 feet high but now I can't even ollie that high with these heavy trucks. They also cost a lot.

    I got a pair of Independent Trucks for christmas and i'm still riding them. I prefer doing the bigger stuff like drops and gaps and such, and these trucks have helped me so much. I used to skate Phantom's till the damn kingpin kept breaking if you land not-so-perfectly, I totally broke grind kings around the part that holds the bushings, the axle on my tensors is a little bigger on one side of the hanger, then on the other, and pretty much to sum this all up...Independents have lasted me just ab ...
