Independent Pads 1/8 'shock pads

Independent Truck Company is a skateboarding equipment company specializing in the manufacture of axles (or trucks ). It is probably the most famous brand in the world in this field. It was co-founded in 1978 by Fausto Vitello, and the first model (the Stage 1 ) made its appearance on May 23 of that year, in Newark (California). The company is based in Santa Cruz (California).

There are two types of skateboard pads: hard and soft. In both cases, the pads enhance the skateboard and avoid the “wheel bite” (when landing, the wheel touches the board, automatically braking the skate). The hard pads are used only as booster, and the soft ones are also vibration absorbers.
