it's funny to cite "skater-owned" when you're referring to a board company and a truck company
It is almost weird saying it yes, but I know a lot of people have actively chosen NOT to ride Indy because of the direction the ownership (non skater) has taken the company.
I still ride Indy (stage 11) as my preferred truck of choice, as they do what I want how I want, but I think too when skateboarders become political, it sometimes causes curious alliances or weird outcomes, eg one guy I know now hates NHS and anything to do with them and all associated brands, but is always whinging about how his set up sucks with other brand trucks when he was happy on Indy not too long ago.
To keep it on topic "Polar shapes" I recently had a Polar 8.75 come to me which was a reasonable shape apart from a seemingly shorter pointy tail, which after looking up some other 8.75 boards, it seems to be similar. Just wondering if anyone else had the same thing, or the tail is not such an issue?
It reminds me of a "Baker tail" on a DLX board, if that makes any sense.
