indys arn't really any heavier then other trucks. Noticably. Your not gonna notice it when you first start at least, and grip doesn't matter.

Independents will last you a long time if they're your first pair of trucks. I don't know what size your wheels are. Or what Abec your bearings are. It's good to pay attention to those two things.

NO! donmt get indy's. not the stage 9's anyway, ive had 2 pairs, and 3 of the 4 trucks have cracked. it snapped fully along the middle of the baseplate going across wise. them shits suck, go with tensors or GK or something
