Performance of INDEPENDENT TRUCKS
I think the main thing to worry about when choosing a skateboard is the suspension. I covered this in detail in my previous article, " How to Choose a Truck (Summary) , " but I would like to take a deeper look at each brand.

This time, let's take a look at INDEPENDENT !
＞ Performance of INDEPENDENT TRUCKS
It is a long-established truck brand that boasts the largest market share in the world, and is commonly known as "INDY" among skaters.
The most popular item in our store is the lightweight model FORGED HOLLOW, which is by far the best seller.
Now let me explain the reason for its popularity.
＞ Outstanding turning performance
The biggest feature of "INDEPENDENT" is
" Excellent turn performance "
is.
At first glance, all brands of trucks look the same, but INDEPENDENT is a truck that can make "smooth" and "big" turns. This is because it has a wide range of motion and is designed with a high vehicle height to take advantage of that range of motion.
Its structure allows you to easily make turns with less force.
This "excellent turning performance" allows you to enjoy skating in any situation, from the street to R transitions in the park.
In other words, the "versatility" that can be enjoyed all around can be said to be the "secret to its popularity."
In addition, there are many types of " bushes" that act as cushions in the center of the track, and one of the attractions is that you can freely set the hardness to your preference.

＞Lightness of hitting feeling
Because the vehicle height is high,
Doesn't it take a lot of force to hit the tail?
You may think that, but " Indy feels light to hit ." The shafts of the trucks are positioned perfectly inward, and the wheelbases (positions of both trucks) are close together, so the tail hits the ground with a light force .
Furthermore, INDEPENDENT's lightweight model "FORGED HOLLOW", which appeared earlier, has a hollow king pin and accelerator shaft, and the weight of the truck itself is also very "light".
The lighter the truck, the less force you need to hit the tail.
If you use this "FORGED HOLLOW", you can control it without much stress even if you are using a relatively wide deck of 8.3 inches or more.
