are indys really "built to grind"?

[Van Guerilla]

i want to get some, like the new stage 9 lows, and i was wondering if they really grind that much better than other trucks.

[Roll_dee]

hellz yes they are built to grind. theyre are heavy duty stuff man.

[Van Guerilla]

well that's cool. do they turn as great as everyone says?

[Roll_dee]

yeah, try getting the new lows. i got highs but i heard lows are good.

[spenser]

its not really that they grind better. i mean, generally, theyre at the top as far as trucks that grind the best. but its not seriously a noticable thing. theyre just good solid trucks.. thats what it means.

like tensors.. theyre not good solid trucks.. for example.

[NoneMoreBlack]

im pretty sure all trucks are built to grind my friend.

[China Skate]

[Dookie416]

Indys are built to grind with Lupe Fiasco!

[Super_Skater]

They should makes trucks that are built ford tough.

[JoeyKovacs]

^^ I don't know about you, but I like my trucks to stay together.

[kcirtap]

indys arent built to grind, theyre built to be one kickass truck though, if you like to be able to turn a whole lot you might wanna get different bushings though

in coordinance to joey's post, does anyone know what ford stands for? Fall On Road Dead, or, Fix Or Repair Daily

hahah!

and for you ford fans out there, dont be offended by this, i dont know shit about cars!

don't be a dick. i'm just here to find out if indy's are good trucks. and just so you know, "built to grind" is their main slogan. if you don't want to tell me something useful about independents don't post here.

[PopwarPerson]

hey van gayrilla... it was a joke dont get so pissed man. i think uve probably read so much good stuff on em it seems indys are all people talk about on rr. and obviouisly pretty much everyone knows thats their slogan man.

[Pinto]

I noticed I grind a little faster when I got my lows, but that might have been because they were new.

[Mindcrime]

idk if this is really true or not, but lots people I know say newly painted trucks grind faster.

[frontside_slapp]

I noticed I grind a little faster when I got my lows, but that might have been because they were new.

I would speculate that you're grinding faster because the trucks are new. When your trucks are new, the hangar's grinding surface is still rounded. That means less truck surface is touching the grinding surface, and consequently, you will grind faster. As your trucks get ground down, there is more hangar grinding surface physically touching the rail, curb, coping, etc., and you will slow down quicker.

Obviously, this would be more pronounced if you went from well-ground trucks to brand new ones, ya know?

no need to call me names. i think you are the one who dosen't need to be so pissed off about it. and i was telling you there slogan because you made it sound so literal that i didn't know what trucks were.

[Griptape Flip]

Hold on... I thought the were built to prepare Chinese Food..boy was I wrong. =O But seriously, Indy's are a good setup, but I like Thunders more.
