Independent and Venture Trucks:

Indie [Independent] trucks are the best trucks known to man. They’re not the most expensive and they’re just spot on and really sturdy.

They’ve had the same design for like the past twenty years and they’ve only been slightly modified. They’re really strong and really good for grinds.

Indies, however, are quite heavy, so if you’re into tech skating, then Ventures are made in the same factory, but Ventures are lighter and lower, so they’re better for small wheels and tech tricks. Indies are bigger and heavier, but better for gnarly things.

Pretty much everyone skates Ventures or Indies unless they’re sponsored by another company. And even people like Eric Koston, who’s sponsored by Royal Trucks, skates Indies all the time, unless it’s a Royal trucks advert.
