Little bit of an offtopic. Has anybody tried to find "blank" shoes? Maybe just a simple cheap vulc shoe without a brand but still a decent shoe, or something along those lines.
And speaking of trucks I think blankdecks.com sell a no brand thunder truck (same mold, same materials or so they claim).
Any more blank gear you guys might have found online?
fascinating on those blank thunders. They look good.
It wouldn't be hard to track down the thunder and/or indy factory and say hey, ship me a few. I'm sure others already have.
blank indys
a ton of trucks already look identical to indy
In general a lot of the generic trucks that are based off pro brands skate well enough, from getting a few here and there just to test them and see, but they also don't quite feel like the pro brand they are trying to copy, more often just little things, but it usually adds up to the truck feeling weird. I guess that is the thought I have when I know what Thunder / Indy and others feel like, so skating some of these and others, they go alright for basic stuff, but a number of them also ended up breaking or bending axles as they just can't hold up like pro brand stuff does.
For a cheap kids complete, they are ideal, but for an adult, especially one who can skate, I would recommend some caution before jumping in a buying half a dozen sets, unless you plan on passing them on to kids or beginners.
Hopefully that made sense - it is pretty late and I am just checking things before heading off to bed.
