The dude who created Independent Trucks, Fausto Vitello, died this weekend whilst out cycling. Bummer.Pay your respects by buying a set of Indy's or make a 'Page Of the Day' in the Built To Grind book.
"The founders of Independent Truck Company are Fausto Vitello, Eric Swenson, Jay Shuirman and Richard Novak. To know these four is to discover the essence of Independent; skateboarding, having fun, making money, improving products, a desire to win, and letting skaters be skaters- all with a "do it yourself/fuck off" attitude." (From Built To Grind.)
Another falls.
RIP.
