    Indys are wild!! been using my stage 9s for 7+ years now! its the only thing thats really constant on my board, i've had 4 decks, 2 wheel changes, 3 bearing changes... and those indys still work like new!! havent changed the independent hard bushings i got with them either. Indys are built to last! 4 thumbs up!

    Indies Stage 9 Lows are the lightest trucks I've had, idk how ppl call em heavy, i've skater heavier ones but that doesnt rele affect my tricks that much, Grinds are smooth, only flaw i can think of is that the orange bushings were too lose for me, but i replaced them with the ones on my old trucks so no big deal, go ride Indies :D

    I've ridden many different types of trucks over the years, and have ridden Independent Stage 9's for a fair amount of time. However, what needs to be pointed out is that their weight is a disadvantage, especially for technical street skating. I wouldn't take too much notice of their marketing spiel either (F#@"! the rest / Built to Grind etc.), it's misleading - get the trucks that suit you, your style of skating and the terrain you're going to be riding.

    First of all I weigh 235 lbs... Am 36.... Been skating for years... Indys are the real deal. Made the mistake of buying Grind Kings a few years ago... Independents have been the truck of choice for 30 years for reasons other than the cool looking iron cross logo!!! I love my 149 stage 9's.

    New stage x have a stronger baseplate. They still have different choice between low and high(standard). This trucks are build to grind since 1978. The only problem is with the standard bushings because I'm heavyweight so I replace it with hard one and now they are perfect!!!

    What can i say that hasnt already been said. Been Skating for 20 years and started off in Indys. Tried practically every truck company from Gullwing (silver shadows), furys, tracker, royal, tensor...you get the picture....
    I have always ended up back on Indys. Nothing beats the feel they give you when skating any terrain whether it is bowls, ramps or street. Simply the best trucks on the market and i have never snapped a set but i have on most of the other companies. If you want a truck that you ...

    The independent stage 9 low skateboard trucks are the best i have ridden. I know to always buy them when i need new trucks. A lot of people are saying they are heavy or something else which i think is false and shouldn't matter. People think that there skateboard has a lot to do with how well they skate and it doesn't really matter. I have been on many different skateboards and my ollie and flip tricks have always been the same. BUY INDYS.

    The indy stage 9 is by far the best truck for beginners to learn the art of skating and the bushings are replaceable making this truck able to do great technical street tricks with harder, after-market bushingsthe indy stage 9 low is very light and durable

    What's to say? I think that insane turning is a definite plus. Independent Stage 9 Skateboard Trucks are crazy durable, which is totally necessary for anyone who wants to kill spots. Parts are really easily replaced as well. Hardware and bushings are easy to find, (as long as you have a good skate shop nearby, that is.) And if, (somehow) your kingpin breaks, you can pick another one of those up too. Not to mention pivot cups. Ride the best for life!

    These were my first pair of good trucks. They lasted about a year and a half of hard skating. They were pretty cheap as well.

    These trucks are very strong. They are practically unbreakable. They are very reactive and turn quickly but they are heavier than other trucks.

    These are awesome trucks they never break. They may be a little heavier than the other brands but if your good it won't matter. I would recommend these trucks to anyone!!

    Independent trucks. Ride the best, they're hot as anything. Require no other. The Independent Truck company always means the best quality. It's the company that has skaters in mind, the company that knows what skaters want, and exactly how to give it to them. The stage 9 trucks still feature the Independent quick action geometry as seen on previous models, but are made with pure 4400 Chrome, making them lighter, stronger, and better. Nothing else compares.

    They're the best trucks out the ...
