Here's my latest setup..about 2 weeks now. I've always ridden Indy..since about 1980. I'm mainly skating manny pads, small ledges, curbs these days..no more jumping down things. I've been riding bigger boards the last few years..8.75-9" with Indy 159s.
I wanted to explore some new options though, especially as my skating style has evolved. Lighter, smaller, etc.
I was always a poor kid, and the gear choices back in the early days were nothing like we have now. I wanted to take full advantage of having not only choices, but having my own $$ to buy what I want when I want it.
I absolutely LOVE this setup. The deck is 8.25" which is a great size for me at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up liking an 8 or 8.1" now too. The trucks are definitely NOT Indys but that's ok with me. The last thing I want to do is stick to tradition for the sake of tradition.
If something comes along that's better suited to you or your style, I think it's worth at least trying.
So far, these trucks feel great. The geometry is comfortable and I like the way they turn. I ride fairly loose trucks and they work well although I had to go from 52mm wheels to these 50mm Spitfire F4s to not get wheelbite so bad. With that though, the lower than low ride height of these trucks is super comfortable to me.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this setup and I will more than likely continue to explore more gear in this style range; light weight, durable, and geared towards more tech skating.
