Indy cross making a comeback?

[Jeremykleinsjackrag]

I really don't know how half of the posters here would have gotten through the 90s-00s with their sanity intact

It’s called growing up and living and learning

[FrAnKenFrEd]

Idk if you guys know this but Joey tershy was caught applauding air strikes on Israel on ig a few months ago

No matter your political stance, applauding innocents being killed is unforgivable

I’d rather ride Indys than support that dipshits rip off Indys

You're going to need to give more detail and evidence of this.

No one should applaud civilian death but this statement also needs some context and the context is 20,000 Palestinian children's deaths in the last two years. Not to mention Israeli bombing campaigns in Lebanon where Tershy's family is from.

But yeah this whole dudes crying over the cross thing seems like a projection 2me boss

Why are you still here weren't you gonna focus loser?

[close]

he is a liar and a coward

Saying you’re gonna focus but then backing down definitely gives off coward vibes.
Almost in the same vein of cowardice as, say, a company that takes a stance on something as a way to look like they actually care to adapt to an everchanging social climate only to eventually backtrack.
Oh… wait… Ok, kinda makes sense why he would back Indy now.

Any outrage at Israeli civilians dying in a war they have perpetuated for decades as part of an imperialistic campaign against the Palestinians should be dwarfed into non-existence by the outrage of the nearly 70,000 human beings, including the tens of thousands of children mentioned above, that Israel has slaughtered in the last 14 months. Fuck outta here with that bullshit equivocating.

I don't stock anything NHS since they stopped selling to regional midwest and east coast distributors..

[close]

What was their logic for that? Did they ever provide a reason? Seems counter productive.

[close]

Would be curious to know this as well.

How are East coast shops getting Indys then? Straight from NHS?

[close]

nhs wants all the money. any shop that has them are getting them direct from nhs. same for all their other brands.
in the usa anyways. not sure about international. i bet mbrison knows

This is one thing I had never really looked into or wanted to know, mainly because I am not directly involved (not being in USA) but as others have said too, I think when they had second tier distributors, they had to also absorb some of the costs, so to maximise their profits, they don't have to deal with anyone other than shops themselves.

I do recall some other distributors would have minimum order quantities, which is not unheard of, but when a shop would have to order a case of each size or style, not just a set or two, things start to get a bit out of reach for some of the smaller accounts, which meant they didn't have to deal with them as they couldn't afford it.  I even recall talking to one guy who would buy enough stock for maybe a year or would have to buy a lot which would usually last a long time, but that was the only way to do it.


Someone else asked "Is Indy still the best selling truck?" and I think the answer is yes still, then from last check a while back it was a pretty big gap to Ace, then not too far behind Thunder, then also not far behind that Venture, then everything else in single figures on the percentage scale.

At least that was before Slappy really started to gain a bit more traction, but I still don't see that many other trucks around, just Indy, Thunder and Venture with a few Ace and occasional others.

Suitcase ad from 1909 lol

Interesting, so that’s where Destructo Trucks got their name.

I made that connection too





Fuckin' Wide! / Friedrich Wilhelm III

Interesting

Seems to be they lifted ideas from a lot of places

Going for a biker, punk, tuff guy, shock factor thing. Makes sense for the time period indy started

It wouldn't have bothered me at all if they kept running it, and it didn't bother me at all that they got rid of it. Bringing it back is kinda whack though

It's weird how so many dudes intertwined their personal identity with a truck company

Saying kids are soft these days but then crying on their keyboard that someone else isn't screening and selling T-shirts to them with a fucked-up plus sign on em

nit-picking about how the edges are rounded and shit, come on. They knew what they were doing, literally trying to be edgy. The pope robe story cracks me up. No mention of the luggage company but come on

Word. Plus what do you mean by "applauding"? People tried to make it look like Raven Tershy was an antisemite when in fact he posted a very sober and eloquent post (which surprised me more than anyone coming from that dude).

Love how not skating indys has become an identity for some

Like how noble of you. You’re so smart and refined

Same dudes that can only nose slide a curb and preach about having fun and sucking

This is great! 'core lord defender of innocent civilians assumes decades old internet tuff guy persona.

post non-noseslide  clips on your precious indys, ya silly cunt.

[Hqjdncm]

Does anyone know if Andrew cannon had a hand in getting rid of the Indy cross? And now that he’s no longer with nhs maybe someone else is now saying bring it back? Or is it really a trademark thing and they are just putting shirts out to keep the cross as their own but not putting it back onto the trucks ? Would they actually put it back on the trucks ?

There’s also that shop in Japan that uses the manji as their logo, I’m surprised I hadn’t seen anyone on here trip about that

[close]

there is a japanese buddhist church that is popular in san jose that has these inscribed on the benches... and yeah not sure who to direct that issue to as the church does these social / liberal events all the time

[close]

Likely no one because it’s a manji and not a swastika

[close]

I know that...I was saying that because its unfortunate that the symbol makes me think of nazi's not Japanese Buddhism...

[close]

Was the whole point behind the swastika, to be the exact opposite. And such heinous things were done by people wearing them so you like can’t unsee it. My friend had actually gotten me a shirt from said shop and I had to tell him there was no chance I’d wear it lol

[close]

growing up in America our schools don't teach us about Japan or Buddhism...or India an Hinduism, so first context ever seeing that symbol is in high school learning about the holocaust.  We actually learned about the holocaust before learning about WW2.  I don't think I learned about Japanese Buddhism and hinduism until college when I took a liberal arts- comparative religion  / art history class about 5-6 yrs later.  Also here in the bay area, Fremont mainly, you will run into a large indian community and you will run into dudes who will have that painted on their car hoods and doorways, I know what it means to them but I can't help but be reminded of nazis...maybe if I grew up in these communities I wouldn't think about the group that took over that symbol.

I mean shit dude I didn’t know what a manji was until shortly after homie handed me the shirt. V interesting they don’t teach what both are

I skate indys, they're my favorite

I just don't own any skate clothes or whatever

When you're a kid it can be fun to pretend to be sponsored, or have some kinda personal brand that makes you "you"

Im pretty unbothered by whatever they do with their marketing

I don't have a hardcore affiliation with products

I cut the logos off all my shit, no free advertising from me

I could see how a 12-year old 40 years ago would think the Hosoi "Tareyton" ad or the Henry Rollins ad were sick tho

[spooky electric]

i gotta say, the rollins ad is still pretty cool and silly. "yeah, I ride 'em"

[swongolianbbq]

Big time Rollins/black flag fan here

I could've just said the black eye one, but the rollins one is part of the hardcore image too so I guess it worked for whatever the hell I was even trying to say

Fausto made all the trucks

Indy, venture, thunder

Just so you wouldn’t skate tracker

No ace without Indy

These are undeniable facts

If they want to bring back the cross honestly who gives a flying fuck it’s been on the trucks for years until woke culture got to it

Nobody's saying they ain't facts^

It's the obsession with the cross and obsession with "woke" culture that's kooky

I never cared when they had it, I didn't care when they took it away

 I wouldn't care about them bringing it back, but the timing of it and the response from certain people is lame as fuck

Just as lame as the people complaining when they got rid of it

It's the flip-floppy shit that makes people lose respect for the company

Indy kinda Bud Light'd themselves here

But if you can say "Who cares if the cross comes back" you could also say "who cares if it's gone"

The cross was only on the trucks starting at stage 8, and if you do nose and tail slides it's gone in 5 minutes anyway

Easy to see which crowd cares specifically about the cross being on the trucks themselves

Crusty old heads

[rikki]

In a way it's good thing that all the low IQ morons expose themselves as they are via the "bring it back" and "woke has ruined everything" whining. A fast way to spot the dim bulbs with a surplus of insecurity.

I don't live in California so what's the problem with these guys? They sound fine to me. Cuz they don't skate?

It would be rad if I saw people wearing skate gear where I live that didn't skate
