Legendary Independent trucks delivering unmatched durability and responsive turning for all terrain skateboarding.
Since 1978, Independent has remained skateboarding's gold standard for truck performance, with their iconic cross logo representing a commitment to quality that's transcended four decades of evolving terrain and trick progression. Founded during skateboarding's pool-riding revolution, Indy's original Stage 1 design established the template for durability and turning response that continues through their current Stage XI offerings. Their signature geometry provides that perfect balance between stability at speed and responsive carving that Richmond skaters need when transitioning from the DIY transitions at Texas Beach to technical ledges downtown. The Hollow construction options reduce weight without sacrificing strength, while their Titanium axles deliver lifetime performance for those who demand the absolute premium in truck technology. Independent's team roster reads like skateboarding's hall of fame – from early advocates like Thrasher's Jake Phelps to current destroyers like Grant Taylor who subject their equipment to skateboarding's most punishing terrain. Beyond mere performance, Indy delivers cultural authenticity that connects riders to skateboarding's deepest roots, with trucks that develop distinctive wear patterns reflecting your personal approach to grinding and sliding across Richmond's varied spots. Their range spans multiple heights and widths to accommodate everything from narrow technical setups to wider transition configurations, ensuring compatibility with any deck in your quiver. These aren't disposable components – they're lifetime investments that break in rather than break down through years of Manchester curb grinding and James River Park hill bombs.
