That’s a fucked drop in, dunno if the angle or not but it looks like it gets real fucken weird when you get to the sidewalk
-
Indy can afford it.
What goes around comes around Indy "stole" basically every rider from theeve.
-
Jesus, might as well drop-in to that tree.
-
Cry about it

Isn't the "checkerboard" at the bottom of the page a Vans' thing?
-
Cry about it
I don’t know if you’re talking to me, but if you are, I don’t give a shit. I think Ace trucks perform better than Indys, and I haven’t liked Indy for a long time, especially since they stopped making their trucks in the states. I just tried to make a sort of clickbait-ish thread title.

I know.
It's just that Indy was founded on this, "USA MADE" image and now being made in china made them in my mind lose some of their cool points. I know it makes no sense but it's just how I feel.

Ah okay, I thought you were an old Indy head getting pressed about it
-
Well Ace trucks are basically old Indys what do you expect?
-
I’ve been riding Ace AF1 and it’s hard to imagine going back to anything else. They just feel like home.
-
Has there been footage of this out yet?

This. There's not another truck for me after Af1.
-
Hope they change their slogan to "Built to Groi!nd"
-
Wtf is that drop in. I need that clip
-
That drop-in is right down the street from me. Its incredibly steep! Insane.
-
between this and the new thrasher cover it's been a week of teases for video
-
He's definitely more of an Ace guy and would ride Quicksilver trucks
-
Cry about it
-
if you read between the lines, this is a thread about curren caples switching truck companies
-
Spanky is very obviously skating Ace Trucks in every clip he has been posting on Instagram

Maybe someone else has different insight, but the regular indy's aren't made in China, I think they have them labeled that way cuz the axles, nuts, and kingpins are manufactured there. I think they're still pouring them at Emerico, now al the forged, titanium and crazy ones are made in china to keep the cost down.
-
hmmm.... I think more of the standard Indy's are now also manufactured in China also, maybe all...
Venture/ Thunder Standards still in Ermico/ SF/ CA.

That was the case for a few years, but Indy has been pretty clear that their trucks are 100% made in China, now.

He gon’ need those new Caliber IIIs; they’re the ones with the optional bushing shim that allows one to run standard or TALL bushings.
Def gon’ need the TALL bushings for THAT drop, yo’!
I wanna see Swiss precision spattered all over this mofukka!

I hate all these USA gatekeepers that think because its made in china, its shit, while they type from their smart phone made in china, or their laptop or their router, or basically anything they use. I bet you wont stop using Ace's now.

Spanky on Ace officially

Stop arguing about trucks for fuck’s sake as long as they aren’t weird graphic Krux’s. I am riding Indy’s right now but the gold AF1 look dope and I’ve had fun on every brand. The Ace tool is dope and the rethreading axle nuts are tight. Too bad mine didn’t last.

This is more interesting To me than curren.
-
hate when the angle makes doesn't show how steep a bank is or long a gap is. I sure it's gnarly but the uncertainty ruins it for me.
-
everyone knows someone who is not pro and is better at skating than spanky lol
Disagreed

Agreed
