Independent: High-Quality Trucks

The Success Story of Independent: Revolutionary Skateboard Trucks since 1978

Independent was founded in 1978 by Richard Novak, Jay Shiurman, and Fausto Vitello. The brand started over 40 years ago as a small company manufacturing skateboard trucks. Back then, there were only a few alternatives with significant deficiencies. Independent managed to combine the advantages of existing trucks on the market and eliminate their drawbacks in the Stage 1 truck. Since then, Independent has been working with successive generations to create lighter, more durable, and stable trucks. Due to the high quality and longevity of their products, the company quickly became a popular and significant player in the industry.

Reliable and Durable: The Variety and Quality of Independent

Independent produces some of the most reliable and durable skateboard trucks. The standard trucks are made of high-quality steel and held together by a precision-fabricated kingpin. The hollow truck, forged hollow truck, and forged titanium truck are three additional variations of the solid standard truck. The forged titanium truck is 15% lighter than the standard truck, as the different trucks save weight with increasing quality. The models are available in different sizes and colors. You can adjust the steering characteristics to your riding style and weight using various hard bushings. From street skating to pool skating and freeriding, the trucks are suitable for all types of skateboarding.

To fine-tune your setup even further, Independent offers bearings, risers, tools, and additional hardware and streetwear.

Independent: Dedicated Support of the Skate Community

Independent is a brand known for supporting the skate community. In the past, Independent has successfully carried out donation campaigns for skateparks and other nonprofit organizations and maintains a close collaboration with the skate community. In the development of the trucks, Independent works closely with a team of experienced skaters to reduce the risk of wheel bites and minimize kingpin wear.
