Other than the bushing slipping the top washer i personally think the trucks are pretty nice.[close]Although im not really interested in trying them since im actually happy with my setup (holiday miracle) they do sound fun for low impact street and like the name implies, slappys. I'm curious as to how stable they are at higher speeds/skating bigger stuff. a twitchy thunder turn plus added height would lead me to believe that stability is probably their weak point. Not hating, just a surface level observation based on shit i've read on here. Everything has pros/cons.[close]These are fairly stable. not the kind of weird Ace AF1 tetter totter where you're spending half your time just trying to maintain balance while avoiding wheel bite. while the turn isn't as responsive as i would personally like, it's not bad.I think what stops the wheel bite more or less is just that you cant really get as deep of a turn compared to indy/ace. You tip over on 2 wheels prior to getting wheel bite. just for reference im riding on new 56 mm conicals (setup same day as the slappies).

Just about any truck can handle low impact street.There’s literally nothing out saying that this truck can’t handle literally everything; categorizing them early without data proving otherwise just doesn’t make any sense.[close]Was talking about what they were suited for, not whether or not they could handle it. One context implies a strength, the other would imply a weakness. The height and and turn characteristics so far have me questioning how stable they are. Not making any definitive statements, just openly discussing things. Sorry if that upset you or something haha.

Just placed an order for the shop through south shore.I’m gonna set some up and give my feedback soonish. We should have 8.25,8.5,8.75 standard and 8.25,8.5 inverted kingpin.I’ll post when they’re available on the site.
Had my fourth sessions on the Slappy trucks today. I almost gave up on them because they were too squirrelly for my taste but I did something I said I wouldn’t do to them. I put Indy orange aftermarket bushings in them and they feel GREAT. The top bushing was a couple mils bigger and I think it made a difference. They don’t feel as squirrels to me and I was able to get some tricks back that I was struggling on with them. Im an awful crooked grinder but I made myself get ten in a row before I left the park tonight. I’m probably going to keep them on for a while longer since I’m really loving them after today.

I didn’t have them super loose, but I was getting what felt like speed wobbles at moderate to low speeds. They still do it with the Indy bushings but in a more manageable way.

I think GH reviewed Lurpivs and Aces and his breakdown sounded considerably different.

The only way i can describe it, is it was as if my trucks were turning independently of each other, almost like i had coaster wheels (think ripstick) on my board. thankfully they broke in pretty quickly and that went away. Was the feeling you experienced like that?

I don’t care what anyone says, a tit mouse’s tibia is a thing of beauty.
The streets await
My local got these but I still can't find the desire to try them
My next setup:8.25 Slappy trucks54mm Powerslide wheels (No-push formula)Hillbomb bearings (Swiss ceramic hollow balls)8.25 Trebomb deck (Ollie-shape)1" Drill hardware (perforated)Grip griptape (420 grit recycled nuclear waste infused)Slappy trucks seem legit but I couldn't ride them as a slaposer that hasn't done a single slappy in his lifeEdit: Sorry no fun allowed
