news about NHS (Independent krux ricta etc)

[Wayfarer]

more of a rant than a thread, but still an interesting subject on the industry;

NHS dont give a shit about us, really.

how do I know? I sent them countless emails from different branches of the company, and never received a single reply. where as alien workshop was happy to answer, and Cortech (Australia) wheels and even Kewday skateboards.
but krux and Independent? forget it. never a single answer. if you know when Independent stage 10 are to be released (which you probably dont, as they dont answer emails) can you please tell me, or just feel free to add comments to this thread.

[GetWrecked77]

maybe they wanna suprise everyone, or they get thousands of other emails and can't answer every one.

[the_unknown_soldier]

try finding there myspace. because everyone replies over myspace. companies and pros. i've talked with supra footwear and ronnie creager. they don't respond right away, but they do eventually.

[Rock_Rocks77]

whaaaaat? you emailed them to ask when their next trucks will come out?

like wtf, loser.

If i was the guy in charge of reading those emails, I sure as hell wouldnt reply to it.

[rock-adio]

haha They probly have 50 billion emails a year, I highly doubt they want to send a shit load of emails so they just dont send any.

[shutupimbleeding]

what is the update on the stage 10's?

[givehugsnotdrugs]

Dude, I wouldn't respond to that. It's just gay.

[skateboardkid]

pointless dude, they have the right not to answer

[Dirttaq]

Most companys don't reply to questions like 'When are ______ coming out?"

They just get too many emails with that same question, and they usually just delete them.

[imlee]

thts the stupidest question, i wjouldnt reply to that

[GutsyTryon]

i hate independent/kruxs/rictas
they suck

[Wayfarer]

wtf? Independent Trucks sells around a million trucks a year, and they cant afford to hire someone more to answer the emails? customer service, please?
I just wanna know if I should buy some new Independent 9's or wait till 10's come out.... btw gutsytryon you're a faggot

They don't have to fucking answer your lame ass emails if they don't want to. Get a fucking life.

wow dude, shut up.

[burnyourfriends]

close this thread? please? its jsut lame. Buy indy 9s. who cares. trucks are trucks some last longer than others n shit but its not like they are walmart trucks which will crack in a day.

[Wayfarer]

meh
what nerds we have on this site....

[Rock_Rocks77]

hahahaha how the fuck are we nerds? you're the one emailing a truck company to ask them when their next trucks are coming out, you fucking loser.

[flip1607]

who cares, this thread is pointless

[deadmilkmen226]

Rocks has a point, you know. It doesn't make us nerds to think you're dumb for asking a pretty pointless question. If you really like Independent trucks you should know that Stage 9's are extremely good trucks, and you shouldn't have a problem with getting them.

Why the hell would you assume that companies like Independent and Krux and Ricta don't give a shit about you because they don't want to tell you when their new products are coming out yet?

thankyou for slaughtering an opinion
dickhead

[Wayfarer]

hey hey hey, chill boys and girls, yo?
I got an answer from krux after 2 months of sending the message lol. maybe they do give a ***** but ther customer service needs a revamp. say they get 10,000 messages a day. they SHOULD have people to answer them, no matter how shitty the questions may be.
amen to that (fuckin boycotts this thread)

so because they answered now they do give a shit? wrong. even if they hadnt, they still give a shit. you're just an idiot.

[Flip_in_Flip_out]

Idiot , do you realize how many e-mails they must get in a single week? They don't have time to answer e-mails from a million little kids ,nobody cares that NHS didn't jizz there selves because you sent them a letter .

Just shut up .

[akkaquill]

why would you want independents anyway? theyre shit trucks. i always heard the best reviews on them so i finally went and got a pair 3 weeks ago and i broke both baseplates and a spare baseplate, 3 kingpins, stripped a kingpin and two nuts somehow, and i cracked one of the hangars. its just like those bones reds piece of shit bearings. everyone says they rock and then i try them and they smash in a month.

and my independents i had for like 2 months and i was doing a crook on a 1ft high box and one side just snaped off i thought wal mart trucks were supposed to do that not professional grade trucks

[nwodafometsys]

Just get krux .

[Wayfarer]

if the kingpin snaps, then buy a new one. but if the hangar or baseplate BREAKS, send them in and get a free set.
they're the best trucks ever you forks, watch when stage 10 comes out.
ps; all those truck brands you mentioned are GAY except tensor.

why go through the hassle to replace faulty equipment with more faulty equipment? if it broke in a month why would you even want it again? you obviously dont skate hard enough to break your trucks. independents arent good trucks once you start trying tricks down stairs bigger than 6.

[Wayfarer]

I wonder if this edits after two years? thats why I take them off 10 stairs eh.
heres some pain for me; SUDENLY after making this thread, I get an answer to my question

Send tape to the address below and we have no plans to make a Stage 10 anytime soon. That would mean we would have to change something about the truck and we really like the Stage 9. Plus we just came out with the 1st ever Stage 9 Indy Low truck.. Stage 9 will be around for awhile

Send tape to:
Indy Sponsorship
PO Box 2718
Santa Cruz, ca 95063

>>> "" <> 7/12/2006 11:09:31 PM >>>

yo, if I'm an amateur in Sydney with 3 sponsers, where can I send a sponser me tape to to get sponsered by Independent trucks? and also, when is the Independent stage 10 comin out?
thankss- Jane

[Mardi]

He probably doesn't weigh enough to break trucks...

[Marevix]

Luckily for me, I don't skate sets more than once a week (and even then, they're tiny), nor do I do grinds. I'll probably get new trucks in a couple years or more, unless I skate stuff large enough to break something on them, or start doing grinds.

[froto]

i love indys, ive always kind of liked lows tho, so it might be cool to get a pair of those.

[kr3w___]

they most likely get too many emails, so they cant reply back too fast

[Wayfarer]

aight thanks y'all except those fags who seem to need to bag out other peoples prefferences....

[sorrowfulkiller]

None of my friends nor I have had any problems with indys except the occasional kingpin breakage(but wouldn't you rather break a $2.50 kingpin than a $35+ set of trucks?), and one of my friends is always throwin himself down 7+ stairs and gaps and drops that high too.


The only difference between destructo and indy's is that destructo are made with more Alumina in the metal, IE they're lighter and break easier

[Wayfarer]

screwballs.... they dont even have them on the webpage yet. I hope they come in 139's :-P

sorry those are the only pieces i could find.

bones didn't "pwn" my girl abec 3's, my speed freak abec 3's, or my off-brand abec 9's. i don't skate bearing besides 3's but a guy from the american ramp company team gave me a complete and he happened to have abec 9's. i don't know the brand.

I know thats what happened to me! (The Reds)
I was just skating down the street and somehow fly about 10 feet onto the pavement.
I thought it was the usual rocks, but then after a second look I see all the little bearing balls in the street and the bearing case fucking snapped!

[Travai]

I liked downlows at first, But now they are just pissing me off.
I want some silvers..... I <3 those.

[IwishIwasEmerican]

try finding there myspace. because everyone replies over myspace. companies and pros. i've talked with supra footwear and ronnie creager. they don't respond right away, but they do eventually.

you do know that people pretend to be pros on there right? From an interview... " Hey Spanky, you were talking shit to me on the internet last night." "I'm on tour man, I haven't been near a computer in a month."

[WillSkateForPapitas]

Why everyone bagging on him. He wanted a question answered and he didnt get it answered.(well now he did) No matter how shitty the question he should still be answered but of course they have millions of emails and i wouldnt expect replies to come in a few weeks.Thats what sucks about big buisness they sometimes dont give a shit about the people.But serioussly its kind of annoying as a company member to have to have to hire more people to get some kid's question answered.

[Wayfarer]

thatnks for the unwanted support.... but yeah, i think you're right. but customer service is pretty important for selling stuff which reminds me; whoops! I bought thunders. ouch? they'll be dead by the time Independent Stage 10 comes out (which is not for a while) thanks anyway mate
