Independent Trucks













I got references to Independent Trucks all over my Bike.

Why would someone be so into skateboarding turning mechanisms? you may ask.



Independent is more than just the product.

It is an attitude.

It is history.

It is a success story.

Its a movement.

It Stoked me out!

Dome and Bowl








Going Back to the Millenium Dome soon to see Metallica.
Last time I was there they cleared out all the bodyworks crap that nobody wanted to see and had The Soul Bowl event and Cypress Hill played.

I got to skate the bowl during the evening practice sessions.

Millionaire Ginger kid Shaun White was there.




A BMXican got broke off and they had to get him out through the trap door!

Clive and his Trump












My good friend C.J. has a load of bikes including a Fireblade
and monkey bikes and a rebuilt Suzuki basket case.
This is his winter project a 60’s Triumph chopper rebuild for under £1,000.00
The mechanics is the main thing with this bike.
An intense engine rebuild means this bike will run like a champ.

The Bike is all legal with matching engine / frame tags.
Little brown paper and string ones! (See pic)

The death of Lady Liberty





Santa Cruz UK gave me a Jason Jessee deck to ride a while ago.
The graphics are a swipe at the U.S.A's overreaction to terrorism.

“WHEN YOU SACRIFICE
FREEDOM FOR SECURITY
YOU END UP WITH NEITHER
JASON JESSEE “

I didn't use the board much, it was too short
and didn't have much concave.
It hangs in my garage right now.

Independent Trucks truck






Indy have been touring recently with the pro team right across America.
This 40 Ford went with em.
In memory of the founder of the best Skateboard company ever.
I missed meeting Fausto by one day on a rare biz trip he made
to the UK the year before he died.
