About the original
The Independent Truck Company Stage 11 Standard is the brand's flagship skateboard truck, a pair of geometry-tuned aluminum castings that mount to a deck to hold the wheels and allow the board to carve. The Stage 11 generation, introduced in 2015, features a reduced baseplate, a redesigned hanger for stronger grind contact, and uses Indy's standard cast 356 aluminum construction. Independent was founded in 1978 by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson in Santa Cruz, California, and the iron cross logo has been a fixture of skateboarding for over four decades. The FW24 Supreme version is a pair of Stage 11 Standard trucks with co-branded hangers.
