I read this "Taylor Kirby of Andy on Ice" and wondered if Taylor and && had been dating, broke up, and it drove Kirby to meth.

This would be a much better story. Although I’m glad Kirby isn’t on meth. That would suck. Drugs are bad.

To all the hardcore Made in USA dudes, you guys do know that the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about that and the trucks quality is pretty much the same?

Also, sorry if I'm a bit behind but why is everyone leaving Indy now??

Bro by all means keep skating Indy, no reason to get emotional.

It's embarrassing after all that "ride the best fuck the rest" half the Indy team is in Ace now.

Spanky was getting paid by Indy while secretly filming in Aces. Before he jumped ship.

You make a post about spanky Officially being on Oct 22 2021

So that would mean Spanky filmed a part riding Aces while paid by Indy.

Would you like me to cite more sources?

But that's not a secret, that was a guy who was sponsored by Indy switching to Ace. Also neither of us have any idea if he was getting paid by Independent.

Poor attempt at gaslighting.

I have aces on two setups, but to say they're just flat out better than indy's is just stupid. But that kinda seems like par for the course for you.

Technically, due to consumer protection laws Indy wouldn’t be able to use the “Fuck the rest, ride the best” slogan if they weren’t actually the best

Gaslighting? You talk like a middle school girl.

Being an Ace Pilot isn't for everybody.

Again nobody is stoping you from enjoying Indys. It's all preference

I picked up the hard bushings and it fixed alot of those issues for me personally.  I don't have to crank them down and they turn and carve nice, but are also very stable.  I've found if I cross a line with how loose I adjust them, they can get super squirrely at higher speeds.  But when you find that personal sweet spot 1/4 turn at a time, it is amazing.

This is probably true. Guys that haven't paid attention to skateboarding since 2004 probably are pretty attractive to women

It’s official, on Ace trucks IG story, great choice ahah

But I wonder why many leave independent .. surely a big loss of quality since the manufacture in China ..

There really haven't been a lot of skaters leaving Indy, but I think people probably leave because of banal shit like Indy is offering them a box of trucks and gear every six months months with a $200 photo incentive, while Ace is offering a box every three months and $300 for a photo.

One thing we can be sure of it is that skaters rarely leave a brand because the quality - which, with Indy, is as high as it has ever been - is in decline.

i wasnt able to get the hard bushings from Ace yet, but I did switch the mains for an Indy Medium Hard bushing and it works really well for me. I dont really understand why they come with such soft bushings in such a turny truck. maybe just to really accentuate that these motherfuckers can carve? in my brain it makes more sense (from a tryhard perspective) to put the softer bushing in a Venture - a less turny truck - to give it a bit more turn. so for a turny truck, do the opposite and put in a hard bushing.

That’s cool. Kirby is fun to watch and seemed cool on the bunt. I enjoy his footy.  Indy keeps losing riders. Was there ever a definite reason to the exodus a few years ago?
[close]

Just a guess but probably the moving of production out of the United States. I stopped skating them a few years ago because of that. I still think the 149s are a really great truck and I'm not xenophobic or anything but being raised in a union family it just seemed sort of corny to move production to China on top of the silly slogans and stuff. That being said the trucks could be higher quality now, I don't really know.

I've been back skating ventures for the first time since high school and I like them.

If that's the reason it's pretty stupid considering most of them went to Ace, and guess where those are made?

Just fyi all those generations of Indys infamous for axle slip and broken baseplates were made at Ermico, and yes the general consensus is that QC has massively improved since they moved overseas, likely to them having full control of the process now.
