I've been diehard Indy since at least 2009. I've only dabbled briefly with Thunders once and did not like it. Before switching full time to Indy I tried Royal, Silver, and Thunder only with bad results (baseplate cracking, kingpin issues, etc.)
I've hated the thought of breaking away from my Indy love, but are Ace Classics worth trying if they're on sale for $34 a set or is it worth it to try AF-1 instead? My wallet is hoping everyone says NO! Hahah
I recently picked up Venture 5.8 and Thunder 151 for some experimental shit on some unused decks I've been sitting on. Haven't set up yet. I'm also considering Ace for my experimental shit after skating for 16 years.
