you know the phrase "if it aint broke, dont fix it" ?
i've been trying to ESP this to indy the last few years. Im a faithful indy rider... but ill admit when the shape of the truck was changed a bit on the stage 9's, i was pissed and skated my last pair of stage 8s till the bitter end
i still ride them but i am disgusted by all the gay pro colorways (like all the other companies) and new "technology"
oh and i have hated the bushings since the 9s started as well. Up until stage 9.. i never had any issues (except a few broken kingpins only with stage 7s oddly?)..but the bushings never bothered me. and i still think its funny when people complained about the weight of trucks... seriously, how weak can you be?
and in closing, i think "pro model trucks" for ANY company is gay as fuck
