Whats the most stable truck for downhill bombing? I only have 8.25" trucks, and Indy's feel kinda... Like they can quickly bite back if you do some quicker carves at high speed. I want to go up to atleast 8.5, so idk if Indy's change when sizing up... Thunders better for such?

Probably Krux K4, they don't turn at any speed. Thunders might be the worst choice. Don't know about ventures yet but seems like they would work great.

Judging by the GX crew over- Venture, Thunder, Indy just depends on how your large testicles swing and how it effects the truck arc.

Can I get indys to venture out the box lose?

Don’t know what trucks to get next.
My ventures are done.

Venture, thunder or Indy is the question.
Never had Indy’s.

Venture and thunder (always the lightest version) have been both good. Still I’m interested in skating indies.

I‘m strictly park street skating. Manuals, flips, ledges , rails.

What would you get?


And a question to thunders: are tail and noseslides really worse with them? When I was skating them I just  started skating again and wasn’t heavy sliding yet.
I really liked them; but that would be a reason to not get them.

I would say indy's are looser or more unstable than venture in general.

And Thunders do not make nose or tail slides worse at all. If anything I feel more in control on my slides on them

I think you have to get use to sliding with thunders but when you do I felt I could control them and felt more locked in on noseslides with thunders than Indy’s. You get use to it and I felt more stable with them in grinds and the flick is good. I honestly think for what you skate thunders sound pretty ideal. The bushings suck. I would usually put  Indy 92a blue bushings in. Whichever you prefer barrel or conical.

Indys are nice but will feel heavy if you come from light Ventures/Thunders. Even hollows are still quite heavy. Never had ti‘s which would be the lightest option.
why come?

I'm never copping hollow trucks again ever. This is some g&s bullshit all over again. I'm not pro no need for hollow trucks



I know it looks like it could be a lense distortion but it's not I assure you it's a major fucking bend.

Had that happen before on a pair of standards. Sucks so badly.

It's impossible not to notice at this time.

Do you think it's fixable?

You could bend it back, but you've introduced fatigue to the axle by bending it in the first place so it is now weaker. How much? Beats me. I'd toss em. What size do you skate?

What are the thoughts on this,

Zach doeling Powell am/pro whatever has mini logo hangars on a Indy ikp baseplate

Does this work?

Are mini logo the same geo?

Can we all now just adjust pop angle swapping hangars and not caring?

I want to believe
yes
