I used to skate grind kings but then disappeared and been skating Indy’s since then. Too lazy to switch.
Aren’t ace trucks based on Indy’s?

Yep, it’s two guys that split from Indy that made Ace.
Customer service is freakin awesome btw. They sent me 2 sets of free bushings when mine cracked no questions asked.
Indy now are stage 11 and the Ace are based on a prior stage geometry I forget
Bushing quality is far superior, imo they make or brake a truck.
For example I like thunders but hate the bushings , I always change them out
add the fact the af1 have a re thread ring makes it a no brainer for me.
but skate what you dig
i went from Venture to Indy now Ace.
And one set up with thunders that my daughter stole from me

I always replaced Indy bushings for bones extra hard bushings. Never liked them, they suck.
So far I’m liking the grip tape in my new setup. I think it’s mob grip but it doesn’t feel as coarse as usual.

Haven’t been to this one skate park in about 5 years because I almost got a ticket for running a stop sign. Since then they built a pump track, that thing was gnarly. I almost smashed my face into that thing, might bring a helmet next time.
Pump tracks are quite the cardio workout.
Bend your knees and look in the direction the big turns are!!!!
The body follows the head!!
I already told you it’s “based” on a previous Indy truck
It’s not exactly the same and the geometry is different.
And the Ace guys are two ex Indy dudes.
And the hanger is full all around, no visible axle from the top
My friends and I used to when we were younger back in the 90's. I skated a Blind board and remembered tearing my pants at the skate park and awaiting like a kid on Christmas for the new monthly CCS catalog to come in the mail. However, I have not stepped on a skateboard in at least close to 20 years.
Man, every time I went to the skate park I was very self conscious of my skating. Now I don’t really care.
If it helps, I could let you watch me ride. You should feel better after seeing me fall off after... Well I've never really tried it tbh.Could barely ollie today.
Same, favorite obstacles??
I’ve had to give up on tricks last year.
Too old, both my knees are completely wasted. (Had surgery on one, the other one I’m waiting’s to get surgery on it also)
Broke my foot on a kicker last summer doing varial flip.
So now I’m relegated to just cruising around.
I loved ledges and stairs (about a 5 stair was perfect)
Definitely top 5 for me. You definitely have to commit for that one…
144 indies with an 8,25??
Am I right??
