e.g.: Stage 9 LOW trucks are 10% lighter than what?

[edit] Style / Grammar

I started to clean up the article's style and grammar but I realized that it's not mine to clean up, and that I don't really know anything about Independent... ~nz —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lequis (talk • contribs) 17:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] yeah

thanks dude. I hate computers but dont mind the service they provide. Independent Trucks arent like that so I just made a page. thanks for helping....

[edit] Cites

The article claims that Independents are considered the best trucks on the market today, but does not say who is making this claim, or for that matter what application; street, ramp, vert? There are many truck companies out there and Independent is only one of them. Indy's work well for some and not so well for others, so this is far too broad a claim as there is no concensus.

The reference link as an interview so it was merely someone's opinion, not a fact. I've removed the entire statement. Dubkiller 01:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] origin of the logo?

My number 1 question is why they chose this logo for the company. I see it and I think of the Nazi Iron Cross. But this is within a circle, rounded, not sure where it comes from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.173.25.221 (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The origin of the logo

I forgot to add that in. Many people who cant see the difference between a circle and square would think it was a nazi iron cross. intelligent people, however, would recognize it as quite the opposite. pope john paul the second was wearing the cross on his clothes on the cover of time magazine June 18 1979, where the magazine shows his return to Poland. Independent chose this logo as surf brands in the 60's used crosses. plus it looks cool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.98.241 (talk) 01:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe the technical term for that cross is the "Alisee" and is of French origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.94.203 (talk) 08:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
