Hold on, Ace gets a pass from being China made, but not Indy?
[close]

Indy went with that " 'murica fuck yeah!" schtick for yeeeeeeeeeeears, of course you can expect some backlash when you're suddenly moving production abroad then.

ACE never did that to begin with, they're a brandnew brand.

The hype is new but ace has been around since 05 or something

Ace kooked it by putting out new coke at champagne prices.

This problem seems entirely isolated to Slap. 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.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

I’m just talking shit. I’m sure I’ll probably cave and get some 77’s.

Hey anybody got guidance on installing the standard king pin I have two sets of base plates

If you got the replacement kingpins from Lurpiv you just gotta hammer them from the top side (screw side facing down) so the baseplate hole loosens up a bit (it's a quite tight at first), and them assemble them from the bottom with the screw turned up. It's pretty easy.

Has anyone seen that clip of Oski ripping vert on Lurpivs? These are going right back on my board for the summer.

Noticed ville skating them for the past little bit on Instagram. With oski out of commission for a while with his acl injury they probably will be getting more guys to push the trucks asap.

but most skaters barely even think about their trucks, most of my friends have no idea about wheelbases and shit that slap  cares about.
 at any given moment atleast one of my homies is rocking indys with busted bushings and a ripped pivot cup and doesnt think twice about it.
im not saying that Slap is imagining things, people are more aware of things like that than the general public. sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Have inside info that Kader and Ville are likely to be on the Lurpiv team

Would seem like a somewhat of a strange move for Kader since Venture gave Kader a signature truck

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.

Yah dude a kid that has been skating since he was like 10 years old and has been personally groomed by a bunch of pros cleaned up his style by switching his trucks not by going through puberty and finally having power behind his consistency and perfection.

I’ve heard he’s getting another truck from Venture so it would seem weird to leave for a company that isn’t really moving that many units comparatively.

I wonder if Oski is gonna pay? I know most truck companies only pay riders royalties for products with their name on it. So are we gonna see another Kader pro truck or is Oski just gonna pay them off top? Or does Kadar just like Lurpiv better than venture? He's got eclectic setup taste.

Perhaps he is going with a Venture baseplate and a Lurpiv hanger? Btw where are those blue suede Kader shelltoes?
why come?

Still not eclectic!

If he was running 58mm wheels on a 6.1 back hanger and 50mm wheels on a 5.0 in the front, on an 8.25 then it's a different story.

The lurpiv clips came AFTER the venture clips, so unless he's getting worse with age (he isn't), I don't think that's it.

Don't forget, The Boss had him on BIG gear, wide boards, big wheels and trucks as grom, he's slowly downsized as he's upsized, he probably has mad power now working with a smaller kit.

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.

Someone's selling a couple sets on the classifieds board. 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 say the regular kingpin or grublock ones are a safe bet (with loctite). They're neat trucks but I think caution is totally reasonable. Now that it's not winter and I can get some good skating in I hope i'll like them more.

If you like standard indy's and get the regular kingpins, you will probably enjoy these.... when they are functioning properly.

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.

Yea I kinda noticed that too tbh. I wasnt sure if it was due to the material grinding away easier, or if the baseplate placement was just further out, causing it to get worn more easily.
