Yeah, I know what you're saying. They do seel their shit everywhere, But, then again, so does half of the other companies out there. Black Label being a prime example. They market their shit everywhere too. It's how the companies stay alive. Clothing and similar apparel is where the money is at, not decks and trucks. It's not like Indy has sets of 169's in the glass cases at pac sun. My feeling on this is they sell the clothes to the chumps so they can have the money to do what they really want to do. I dunno, who the hell am I? That's just my take on it. A company can't stay alive without the Green stuff

About the dead guy...got out of his car and was gonna kick a skateboarders ass...ended up dead. Should have stayed in his car and drove off. I'd give the guy self defense. You attack me, I'll use ANYTHING in my reach to take your ass out. The idiot had to be a bad ass in front of his woman, now look at him. Dirt digger. Pushing up daisies. The long nap.
@slob.......sell out!! (just kidding)
I see EVERY DAY huge meatheads and bikers wearing Indi shirts, a ding bat chick thought the Iron Cross was West Coast Choppers ONLY!!
@Nervous...totally agree.

Or maybe they're just trying to maintain a certain amount of focus on the demographic that they really care about. It's not just indy, walk into pac sun and tell me how many skateboarding brands they sell the clothes of, then count the number of actual skateboard products (ie trucks, bolts, bearings, decks, etc.)they are selling......piss-poor ratio huh. I agree with fivePoints in that they sell the soft goods in order to help maintain a lucrative business so they can keep putting out the main product however, this does not mean that their true priority doesn't still fall on actual skateboarders. I don't have a problem with this for several reasons.
1) If they want to exploit the groms/kiddies in order to give back to the skaters in the
long run......fine with me (love the trucks).
2) you can't control who buys your product. It's not indy's fault that there are people out there who sport the threads of a company that they don't support, or even know anything about for that matter . That ignorance belongs solely to the individual buying the product, not the manufacturer.

I have Indys on all my decks and I want to say the quality of the last set I bought was crap.
Ibought some Titans for my daughter and just looking at them you could tell that somebody cares about what they are selling. I dont know how they ride but they dont look like they were made by a blind guy.
Indy should lay off the whole hype crap and hire a quality control guy. My next set of trucks will probably be Trackers |
