Filters ()Independent Trucks - the story of the "Built to Grind" legend
Independent Trucks is a brand that changed the face of skateboarding forever in 1978. It was created in Santa Cruz, California as a response to the lack of durable trucks that could handle aggressive riding in bowls and on the street. The founders – Richard Novak, Jay Shiurman, Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson – created a product that became the foundation for an entire generation of riders. Independent is not just a company, it is a culture built around the slogan "Built to Grind" and one of the most loyal teams in the world. Over the decades, the brand has become a synonym of reliability, and its iconic cross logo is recognizable everywhere skateboarding appears. By choosing "Indy", you choose gear with soul, equipment that has survived dozens of trends and technical revolutions while consistently remaining number one in the world.
Independent Stage 11 trucks for spring and summer - precision and durability
A spring skateboard service at Selectshop has to start with the foundation, meaning Independent Stage 11 trucks. Today, they are the standard every other construction on the market is compared to. Thanks to their unique geometry, Stage 11 offer flawless turning and stability on landings, which is key when getting back into shape after winter. In our offer, you will find standard models as well as Hollow and Forged Hollow versions, which are significantly lighter thanks to hollow axles and kingpins, without losing their legendary resistance to cracking. Summer sessions in concrete skateparks require gear that does not "swell" from grinds – the aluminum alloys used by Independent are known for wearing down slowly and evenly, allowing years of trouble-free riding on one set.
Independent accessories and bushings - tune your setup for summer
Even the best trucks need proper care, so in the upcoming spring-summer season it is worth taking care of the details. At Selectshop, you will find a wide range of Independent accessories, including legendary bushings in different hardness levels, allowing you to adjust the turning feel to your weight and riding style. From ultra-soft 78A to hard 96A – every Independent bushing has a special core that prevents "floating" and cracking under heavy pressure. The offer is completed with precise bearings, kingpins and professional T-Tools, which are essential during holiday trips when you need to quickly adjust your board settings at a new spot. Independent is a complete system designed to keep every second of your ride fully under control.
Why do professionals choose Independent Trucks?
Choosing Independent trucks at Selectshop means choosing gear that does not accept compromises. The brand is one of the few with its own foundry in the USA, which allows strict quality control of every hanger and baseplate. This attention to the production process is exactly why Independent Trucks are chosen by the top riders in world skateboarding. Whether you are planning summer sessions in a bowl or technical street skating in spring, Indy trucks will give you the predictability you need for the hardest tricks. This is gear that ages with class – even heavily worn hangers still keep their geometry, proving that the slogan "Built to Grind" is not a marketing line, but a real promise of durability.
