I’ve been skating Independent trucks for awhile. I recently upped my board size to the 8.25” variety. I liked the deck size a lot but my trucks were the 129mm’s so I needed a bigger set of trucks. When I went down to my local shop, I couldn’t resist the 149mm Gunmetal Independent Trucks. They looked rad and I figured they’d grind smoother too.
I swapped out my old bushing to avoid breaking in the new ones and I was psyched. They really did grind smoother on my normally sticky local miniramp coping. I’m sure they’ll be the same as the regs once the paint wears down, but it’s instafun right out the box. There’s really not much more to say here. Independent trucks never let down and are always a solid choice.

Where the motherfudge do you get wide Indy's? I'm going to upgrade my shred-stick to 8.25 once I get some more decks, and I can only find natural colored 8" Indy's online. A wide board with skinny trucks just looks goofy, too.
