Independent Forged Hollow Skateboard Truck
The Independent Forged Hollow Truck comes from a brand that has been the number one choice of professional skateboarders since 1978, and the forged hollow build is aimed at riders who want a lighter, higher performance truck without giving up the durability Independent is known for.
What Forged Hollow Means
A forged hollow truck uses a hollow forging process on the kingpin and axle to cut weight compared to a solid truck, while the forging process itself is meant to keep the part strong under real skating impact and stress.
Who This Is For
- Riders upgrading from stock trucks to a lighter, performance-oriented setup
- Skaters replacing worn trucks on an existing board
- Anyone building a custom deck who wants trucks from a brand professionals have trusted for decades
Because it is a truck part rather than a complete deck, this is meant for riders assembling or upgrading their own board rather than a beginner buying a first complete setup.
Installation and Maintenance Basics
Trucks should be mounted with the kingpin facing the correct direction for your riding style and tightened to a bushing feel that matches how loose or tight you like your turns. Periodically check the kingpin nut and axle nuts for tightness, since regular skating naturally works hardware loose over time.
