Independent is the truck standard — the most trusted, most ridden trucks in skateboarding, with a reputation for being virtually indestructible. "Built to Grind" isn't a slogan, it's a fact. If you want trucks that turn well, grind forever and just work, Indy is the answer. At Twelve Board Store and SoCal Skates we carry the full Independent range, in stock and shipping free Australia-wide.
The Independent Story
Founded in 1978 in Santa Cruz, Independent Truck Company quickly became the trucks pros rode and everyone else aspired to. Decades of refinement have produced trucks renowned for turn, stability, grind and sheer durability — the current Stage 11 geometry is the benchmark. Independent has the deepest pro team in the business and a genuine "ride till they die" reputation. For a huge number of skaters, Indys are the only trucks they'll run.
Choosing the Right Independent Trucks
The key to truck sizing is matching the truck width to your deck width — the truck axle should roughly match your deck so the wheels sit flush with the edges. Independent's sizing (133, 139, 144, 149, 159, 169) maps to deck width ranges, and we can match them for you. Independent offers standard, Hollow (lighter), and Forged Hollow (lightest) versions across polished, painted and Stage 11 builds.
