Independent trucks and racist ideology

[SHIREFLIP]

To legitimize longboarding...or a downhill event in the Olympics?

Wild conspiracies aside, I think Olympic Hill Bombing would be pretty entertaining.

Reading bro.

[doomstation55]

So each person was holding two longboards that were attached to a sublime shirt and indy tie dye?

[SHIREFLIP]

No, the sublime shirt WAS the indie tie dye.

[Francis Xavier]

The LA Massacre should be the only Olympic event, Corey Webster an obvious shoe in for the US

Riding double barrel bushings is the real sin

What's with the salute?

[pointandclick]

HOLY SHIT!
never noticed that

[EdLawndale]

I will skate Indy trucks -- esp the hollow point Mark Gonzales -- but I stopped fucking with their merch a LONG time ago.

[radcunt]

Oh shit lol

[IUTSM]

I had an indy cross on my forearm for 8 years- loose trux save lives. I Was living in a slave state and this wood at bar said "what's up brother, want a beer." I opted out. This shit happened more than once. I a hippy with other weird ink but it as an apparent visual in with White Boy/AB fucktards. Then, some a while back when i was crashing in a communal community this gal said "I know thats a skateboard thing for you, bt you know what i means, right?" I Grappled with that that shit for years. Now it's covered up and while I sill ride Indys, i'm happy as fuck to not be mistaken for a wood or AB dirtbag.

[EdLawndale]

Cool story bro

This thread is ridiculous

Am I the only one bummed with how Indys work these days. Constantly find my trucks drifting and getting stuck to one side of the pivot cup. Really don’t want to ride Thunders...

Try Ace if you want something similar, more turn, but a slower, more controlled grind due to the softer metal. I still prefer Indy, but I do like Ace's.

Yeah. Ace is 1010 approved and have no issues with pivot cups and bent hangers

I'm not sure what 1010 is, all a quick Google search led me to was some religious shit. I'm guessing by the winky face and bent hangars comment that you're being sarcastic. People have said that the "bent hangar" was just an optical illusion, from there being more material in the center, supposedly that was only a 1st Gen issue. I've had 2 sets of the latest revision Ace's and haven't had any issues, one set I really put a beating on too (the other is on a cruiser setup, so they don't get nearly the abuse). What's up with the pivot cups?

[theSketchLord]

I have an indy shirt and have no issues wearing it. Although a few years back I was riding back from getting tattooed and had an old BMX helmet that looked like an army one, it had an skull and an Indy style iron cross on the side.

Some hobo took offense midway across a pedestrian crossing and tried to stab me in the neck. 
Suffice to say I kept the helmet (couldn't afford another) but I stickered over the iron cross.

Frog skateboards.  They knew about Pepe.  They knew.

Wait... What? Is this like a fucking codename or something? Who the fuck calls him this? I'm so confused right now lol.

Yea, I didn't have any of the earlier Ace's where that was said to be an issue, that's just what I had read about that. Newer ones treated me quite well though. Indy's are less squirrelly and grind faster so I prefer them.

On Slap, JJ short form has always meant Jake Johnson. In order to not confuse or associate Jake with Jason Jessee, people started short forming Jessee as 1010. J being the tenth letter in the alphabet. It’s a metonym, like 81 equals Hell’s Angels or 18 equals AntiHero.
