Elijah Berle is an absolute powerhouse on the board, but that same power and grit can be found off the board all the same. Taking direct inspiration from his hand-painted ’55 Chevy, Berle packed some classic hot rod vibes into every detail of his new signature Independent truck. The result? A set of trucks that feel as good as they look.
Learn more about the inspiration behind this simple, yet bold truck design and watch Elijah put them to use at a heavy ditch spot shortly after. The DIY spirit is alive and well in this edit. Straight to the top ropes! Take a look:
I can appreciate that Berle took the trucks to a crusty ditch as apposed to a random skatepark or something, you know? Seeing them being put to use at a spot like this? That tells me more than enough. Stage 11s. 149s. These things are right up my alley! And both the red and orange baseplates are so sick.
