    I swear to Goddess this kid is an international treasure. I wish he was my son. I wish he was a sibling or cousin or something. Sometimes, I wish he was my boyfriend. One thing I know for sure is that I hope he didn't blow his load too early by putting out a dozen or so amazing parts last year and getting cheated out of SOTY. I really hope he does his thing again in the 2020 and they give this treasure the SOTY that he deserves more than anyone else in the game except Mason Silva.
    SOTY. Evan. Fuck the rest.
    P.S. Got my first pair of Indys on my first Santa Monica Airlines 'Natas' deck about 35 goddamned years ago! Never rode another truck that I actually had to pay for.

    I prefer the 144 or 149 titanium myself depending on the size board I decide to ride. I always swap the bushings out for a brand new set of red conical Independent bushing when I get a new ones though. Started doing that in the late 90s because the stock yellow bottom bushing would always crack after a while. I replace the pivot cups any time I want to breath new life into them :)

    The bushings did got a lot better, a bit softer, with a better rebound (Bones Hardcore bushings rebound is still the best) and a shorter break in period - I also like and prefer the button barrel bushing - I feel it turns a bit more smoothly and generally more stable i.e. less wobble. Good shit overall.

      @ProfileUserNumber 5 років тому +27

      @Jaqen H'ghar well the 6 hole baseplate is cast and I'm pretty sure a bit longer so possibly that helps with nose and tail slides. The whole video he has standard 149s but at the end he has the 6 hole baseplate which means it's not 149s its 159s or he intentionally switches out for that baseplate. If so why?

      At 3:09, you can see his front truck and it's 4-hole, and at 3:13 his rear truck is 6-hole. Your guess is as good as mine, but I'd assume that Indy pros can request whatever weird tweak that they want, and yeah, maybe the 6-bolt baseplate is longer and more stable or so oddness that losers like us could absolutely never notice.

    • @ashton35
