Good Points
Strong, long lasting, durable, good turning, awesome grinding, not "very" heavy

Bad Points
Not as good at the indy 8's were.. they dont turn as good, and no 6 hole baseplate pattern.

General Comments
It seems indy's going down the drain. these are possibly the last good trucks from them; I've had this set 2.5 years, and they're still rolling brilliantly. the limited colourway idea was good, although not many people realised they ere limited edition.. now they're making low trucks, no 6 hole patterns, and I've head of baseplates breaking. oh, and freaking pro model trucks.
They're good from reputation but instead of keeping it conservative, they're changing too much stuff. they arent thinking of where they'll be in 25-30 years time; instead, they're trying to get quick buy's, which is what makes other companies go down the drain.
Still good trucks though.. for now. I just wouldnt get an indy tat.
