Making a change from Indys

[Mullet Man]

Why fix what ain't broken?

He's not fixing anything. And how can you tell if something isn't broken if you have nothing to compare it to?

I try all kinds of shit. I find my favorite stuff that way. Compare and contrast.

Well who would want to go from fucking Natalie Portman to Whitney Houston just to see the difference?

Because you know Whitney is a freak.

If you insist on an analogy like this, Indy would be Cher.

Only problem I've had with Aces was that the stock bushing crumbled after some time. I don't think I had them overly tight, though I have since loosened them up. I've heard others having the same problem, but it's just a good excuse to buy Bones.

Do it.

Theeve baseplates remind me of Indy ones.  Hangers of old Trackers.

i rode indys for 20 something years, until recently when my board got stolen out of my van and a friend kicked me a pair of almost new aces he had.

i'll never buy indys again.

Does Venture make an 8.5" axle?

yeah, but i wouldn't recommend it. the only pair or ventures i had was that size so i don't want to judge the brand as a whole, but the axles just always felt super flimsy, snapped within 2 months.

i've been riding thunders for like a decade now and just recently made the switch to indys, they took some time to break in and even now they are im not 100 percent comfortable with how they turn. granted to last forever thats what ill be riding though, but im not going to buy a pair again. glad that there seems to be a good amount of decent trucks on the market now with brands like theeve and ace, so im probably going that route

Man, those dudes somehow used the worst examples ever, because both Whitney Houston AND Cher could probably fuck your dick right off. For all I know, Natalie Portman is the worst lay ever. I mean, she dated fucking MOBY. Whitney Houston was married to BOBBY BROWN.

I shouldn't have to spell this stuff out for you guys. This is not rocket science, people.

The dudes above me clearly went Bobby Brown with their trucks. They know what's what. Personally, I started with Thunders, rode Indys for probably 15 years or so, and recently went back to Thunders. I'm backing them. Also, I have never tried Ventures - and for all I know, I've been blowing it this whole time. I think I'll pick some up, I seriously like that idea.

I rode Indy's and I thought they were really good, lasted forever and turned pretty good. Then I traded a set of Thunders for some Krux to my friend and I haven't gone back. Thunder's just turn so damn good and they grind great also, and they last a long time as well (not as much as Indy's from my experience though) Thunder is the way to go.

I have been feeling tempted with ACE's and Ventures, but you know the whole "why fix something that isn't broken" deal
