I dunno, the new Primitive video demonstrates that you can get tech and Manny juuuuuust fine on Indys.
I think this is true, buuuuuuut if I’m being bitchy:
Yes pros can skate whatever. Yes some absolutely legendary skating of all types happens on Indys. As it relates to the primitive video: Carlos, and Tiago both skate mids now, no? A truck that’s kinda trying to chase some venture/thunder qualities in pop/pinch. Tre isn’t super tech. Imo there is a reason some of the tech guys skate what they do. It works for that.
I mean Yuto spun a flawless (padless) 540 on vert, with what looked like 5.2 lo’s and 50s. I can’t drop in on the local pool, and wouldn’t dream of doing so on a vertical ramp, but if there was the old gun to head, I wouldn’t be reaching for his setup.
That super tech flippery Jamie Griffin skates indys I think, as does monteiro, Joslin, French Joslin…
All I’m trying to blab on about is pros can use whatever,trucks have unique geometries that help for certain things more than others.
