The Independent Truck Company is an American manufacturer of skateboard trucks and apparel based in Santa Cruz. The trucks are made in the Emrico foundry, in the Bay area of San Francisco. Independent trucks are considered the best trucks on the market today. Skateboarding professionals who ride for other truck companies often use Independent trucks on their personal decks

All Independent Stage 9 Low Trucks: Utilizing the original Fast-Action Independent Geometry with the same kingpin and pivot angles–the new Stage 9 Low turns and responds quickly and precisely–just like an Independent truck should. By keeping the original axle position relative to the mounting holes the new Stage 9 Low provides the truest wheel base possible and keeps the meat of the baseplate outside of your wheels for solid nose and tail tricks. The shape of the inside portion of the hanger has been rounded for additional grind space on smith and feeble grinds. The all-new light-weight Hollow Body hanger design creates an optimal balance of lightweight and durability, making the Low almost 10% lighter than the already light, standard height Independent truck.
