In real life, the local shop sells tons of AF1s, skaters buy them and love them, and no one seems to be having any problem.

Ville Wester and Karsten Kleppan both rocking Lurpivs: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cb79TTIJZAI/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Curious to see when they announce an actual team…
Have inside info that Kader and Ville are likely to be on the Lurpiv team

I feel like kaders steez has really shined through since he's been on ventures, with the added pop and stability. Those clips I saw of him on the lurpivs he looked a little loose/sloppy.
He's got eclectic setup taste.

Anyone else still skating these? Giving mine another shot because I'm dialing back spending and wanted to try something different.After a flatground session the feeling of them vs Thunders was wild but having no wheelbite at all was solid.

I'm sort of tempted to take a chance on them, and then I come back to this thread or the gifted hater video and decide against it.

I'd consider trying them again with the regular kingpins, but the baseplate just didn't seem that durable compared to other trucks. Was getting really worn in, pivot cup ovalling out way too quickly from nose/tailslides.
