Stage 10. Independent knows what they're doing to the point where I guarantee their trucks will not regress into some lower quality. If you don't believe that go buy some Tensors and die
right, because those automatic baseplate breaking holes on the stage nines were AWESOME. they really did a great job with that. and now that the stage tens have the pre-slipped axle, and way less material on the hangar, they'll bend and break even faster than before.
they've been on a steady decline, quality-wise since stage 7. the parts are forged in china, and assembled in the usa now, using inferior alloys, and recycled steel axles that are prone to bending.
they HAVE regressed to lower quality, but at least you're keeping it core as fuck, bruh.
that said, i still ride indys, and will continue to do so forever.
but to cluelessly just ride their nuts like you are is stupid.
