I need a stage 4 vs. Ace. vs. Slappy video!!!

[Brian_Davies]

been on these for 6 months or so. tried my old stage 11's a couple of times and they felt dead. I'm sold

[DirtySkRatStaney]

Loved the stage fours!! I only mess with Indy trucks, so I’ll have to snag a pair of these.

Thanks Leon, smooth as edit might have to suss out a set

[mescaliiiiine]

Eyy you're that guy from the other channel I'm watching ;) Thanks for the review.
Would you say they're for all kinds of skill level, including beginners/occasional skaters? The sharp turning radius is in fact a little concerning to me.

I picked up a pair of Stage 4 Independents about a month ago, and they're my favorite truck. The bushings feel great out of the box which is unusual of Independents. The Stage 11 get Bones hardcore bushings immediately.

I own a lot of different trucks: Krux k5, Ace Classics, Polar Bears, Independent Stage 11 and Stage 11 forged hollow, Grind King Disruptors, Thunders. I'd take the Stage 4 over any of them. The Ace Classics and Grind King Disruptors are the only ones that come close for me.

they look fun in the bowl, i'd imagine that's where they really shine

[chowdermonsterr]

I can only offer a standpoint on these trucks with the baseplate switched out for some Indy stage 10 low plates. I did it in order to get KP clearance and they feel very legit.

Stage 4’s with Andersons new nano cubics equals a dream ride

[idmhead]

I liked them at first, but, the problem I had was that the bushings hardened up too tight. I've had that problem with Independent's bushings in general. Even with the "super soft" ones. I think when they age, they get harder. And I think Independent doesn't make soft bushings for Stage 4. I found Ace AF1s to be much looser even after use. I'm going to give Bones soft bushings a try on some of my Independent trucks. Not on the Stage 4 though, since supposedly they are different.

My order is in since yesterday I can't to get independent stage 4 so excited really can't to get them on my Baker hawk Jr deck first time ever buying brand new trucks

[strikeordie]

So you went from making your board lighter with thunder hollows to turning it into an anchor with stage 4’s. Which setup do you prefer?

[CurbBlurbs]

I found a set of Indy stage 7’s at a gf’s basement skate set up. Took them and rode them. They were soooo heavy annnnd they stuck. The kingpin on stage 7 is like worse than venture lo. So when I got the stage 4’s I expected them to feel somewhat the same ? They felt exactly like stage 11’s and that’s why I love them

[DTC]

wow the collab of the year: Leon, Fast Times and Mona Vale SP

[mrhogei]

Do they have these trucks in titanium? 144’s?

[burger]

I just need them to make a lighter version and I won't be able to resist... I'd like them to try and make one that's like 52.5 - 53mm tall though, without being so heavy like the mids.

[DaisyChaine]

q: is it just nostalgia? if not, why did they feel the need to make a stage 5-11.. also, 169's & 215's have always had the 6 holes, my stage 11s do, just no use for a 6 hole truck on a board under 9 in

[danielwithers]

I just got a pair of stage 4 was wondering what was up with bushings. Couldn't tighten them enough to feel comfortable with control

[boepiesnoep]

I have them, I love them, but they have higher bushings than the stage 11's and their own bushings are not sold seperate yet. That needs to be addressed.

How do you tell what model your Independent trucks are? I have a set of Independents from the early 2000s and I'm curious what they are.
