Stage 11 Polished Standard Truck
About the original
Independent's Stage 11 Polished Standard is the gold standard of skateboard trucks, built with a 356 T6 aluminum hanger, solid chromoly steel axle, and grade 8 kingpin. Founded in 1978 in San Francisco by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson, Independent has been the most trusted name in skateboard trucks for over four decades. The Stage 11 geometry offers precise turns, better stability on landings, and reduced speed wobble compared to previous generations.
About Independent
Independent Truck Company is an American skateboard truck manufacturer founded in 1978 by Fausto Vitello, Eric Swenson, Richard Novak, and Jay Shuirman in Santa Cruz, California. The trucks are cast at Ermico Enterprises in San Francisco and distributed by NHS, the Santa Cruz parent company that also runs Santa Cruz Skateboards and Creature. Within six months of launch the trucks held a 50 percent market share, and the Stage geometry has been refined through eleven generations. The Iron Cross logo, designed by artist Kevin Ancell, became one of skateboarding's most reproduced graphics. Supreme has collaborated with Independent on co-branded trucks and apparel.
