It's official: Indy now 100% made in China

[SodaJerk]

I heard London is already 100% owned by people who don’t live there

This is accurate.

I'm sitting on a set of stage 11 forged hollows I got direct from NHS two weeks ago and they have this on the hangtag: "MFG IN USA from US and imported parts".  Not sure this adds anything to the discussion just thought I'd share.

They're probably just old stock that have been sitting in a warehouse.
I just assume everything is made in China, now.
It's a nice surprise when I find anything that isn't.

You'd feel uninformed if you just walked through Ermico for about 30 seconds.

What does this mean exactly ?

I have a set of 169's and 139's bought recently  that say the same thing, FWIW.

Forged baseplates were already made in China before this whole 100% made in China thing was recently discovered, just an FYI.

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
Live for no one else
But now, through all the hurt & pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love
Mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all
And leave forever
What's done is done
It feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without
The trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love & pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
Everything
Everything that matters to me
Matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without
The trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love & pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

100% not true. Speed washers, axle nuts, bushing washers, and forged baseplates are China. Hangers and non forged bases are still made in SF. Who know for how much longer but, not 100% China. This is the same for Thunders and Ventures.

[BALARGUE]

doesn't really make sense

why would anyone write "made in china" on something if it's not true ? please explain

[Mcidraque]

ride the best fuck the west

lol

[elbarto]

I have some brand new Stage Xl 159's and they say MFG in USA from US and Imported Parts.

[Ghost Face]

I've got boxes of Stage 11 trucks here that all have the "MFG in USA from US and Imported Parts" on them. From 139 all the way to 215, Hollows in both baseplate styles, Evan Smith colour etc.

Maybe it's change from the very latest release in the past couple weeks but i've not seen that new swing tag only saying China.

[D.O.T. DIY]

Did they also change the plastic they were making the bushings out of a few years back? I swear they did, they feel a lot cheaper now and i've split a bunch of em in half in the past few years. I'd ride something else, but not even sure what to get after riding nothing but Indys for like 20 years.

Thunders. Been skating them for 15+ years, never had the issues that Indy’s have. Never had a pair break or defect
