Gonz, Indy, enough said. I've skated them all an no other truck comes close. It's that simple. Indy for life.

That’s funny, I always think of gonz = venture.

Thats funny, he's been on Indy for almost 30 years. Here's his 1990 Indy Ad to jog your memory.

I think of gonz on venture too.

Do you still think of Gonz and Vision too because those few years is when he would of rode them. Guess he just wanted to be able to turn so he moved on.

Look at this fool, all bent out of shape about his shitty Chinese trucks.  We get it, you’re a slash dog, bro.

[halfpikebowlsk8rs]

Independent are ok. I dont like the no camber straight wobble feeling of them and they are heavy. Indy for life dudes are the worst though unless you get them free, marketing is genius though, the harley davidson of skating.. Venture has the nice spread eagle delay outward camber I like. I play with baseplate and hanger swaps too. I like thunder hangers too. Frankenstein trucks are probably the best.

Chill kook, nobody's bent out of shape. Just find your Venture Gonz connection funny. Also where do you think Venture/Thunder gets it axles, hangers, nuts, and forged baseplates from.....china. Only thing being done at Ermico is pouring aluminum. If you gonna bang away on your keyboard maybe know what you're talking about. Interesting your new to the board and profile pic has venture hat. Dlx got you working overtime. Also I don't slash, I just like to be able to turn. Fundamental part of skating.

Will there ever be a stage 12?

Why’d you delete your other response?

Does swapping hangers and baseplate fuck up the geo?

Thunder hanger on and Indy baseplate so you get the short wheel base from the Indy baseplate but with a nice light thunder hanger would be tight. But I feel like it would make the geo weird?

 Is there a franken-truck thread?

I was diagnosed with stage 12 cancer, and my chemotherapy is core as fuck.

Nice edgy cancer joke. Better keep up that sense of humor for when you or someone you love eventually gets some form of it. Ya fucking asshole.

[HugeBodBoyle]

Indy's are okay trucks, but the stigma attached to them of late (especially in the last couple of years) knocks them down the pecking order, imo.

Every time I see Indy's naming convention, it reminds me of cancer diagnoses. Sorry to offend. EDIT: Sorry for the stupid joke. "Sorry to offend" is too close to "I'm sorry if you were offended", one of the worst non-apologies there is.

My dad died from liver cancer, and our family's sense of humor--sometimes dark--got us through some very tough times.

Sorry to hear that dude, my dad, cancer as well. I just always thought it was a lame modern slang/joke that only kids think is funny. "haha that gave me cancer", "you have aids", you know what i mean? All good though bro no hard feelings, just think its wack.

I hear ya, my man. Sorry for your loss. It's such a fucking bitch of a disease.

[RossDailey]

If people are concerned about the weight... just get the hollows.

That's what I ride & they're fucking amazing.

Indy Hollow's FTW

I’m not gonna declare it’s open season on cancer jokes but you can either laugh at everything or nothing. Context counts but you can’t rule cancer out of comedy.

Stage 7 re issue would be dope as fuck but I'm not going back after trying Ace.

[SodaJerk]

You Ace guys are weird. I didn’t like them but I guess we are all different.

  Ventures turned like indys did back when Gonz was on.    Why would you think our association of gonz and venture "funny"? -its pretty fuckin arbitrary. -just what comes to mind from 80s Thrasher ads.  The other dude is rite to call you out.

[moonordie]

This is the mindset that skateboarding is lacking lately.
I feel that Venture sucks, they don't turn and for whatever reason the fact that on one side of the base plate there is nothing written it annoys me badly but if you like them that's awesome, just not my cup of tea.
