Independent Truck Co

Independent Skateboard Trucks

Founded in 1978 by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson in San Francisco, Independent Trucks has become more than just a skateboard truck manufacturer—they're a foundational pillar of skateboarding culture. Fast Times stocks Independent because they represent the most authentic spirit of skateboarding, creating trucks that have been essential to the evolution of street and pool skating for decades. From their groundbreaking Stage 4 design to their unwavering commitment to supporting skateboarding's core community, Independent has consistently proved that true innovation comes from riders, not marketing departments. Their legendary status was built through direct support of skate legends like Tony Hawk, Jay Adams, and countless others who pushed the boundaries of what skateboarding could be. Every Independent truck tells a story of durability, performance, and cultural rebellion—engineered to withstand the most brutal impacts and support skaters from backyard ramps to street spots in Melbourne. More than just a piece of hardware, Independent represents the uncompromising heart of skateboarding: resilience, creativity, and a relentless drive to keep pushing forward.
