Latest post on their Instagram kinda implies they’re running into some issues. Really hope it’s not true as I’m always down to support a new skater owned business especially in a sector that isn’t just another board/clothing/hardware brand. Maybe a manufacturing change because of the slight design issue?

trucks is easily the hardest market to break into. geometry, quality control, defects, marketing. i’m rooting for him but i think he really needs to change the way he does things. he really should just shut it down and start testing his product, for like a year at least. and then relaunch.
I’m sorry but 100 dollars for trucks is absolutely ridiculous. small brand or not. Got to figure out a way to get that price point down. I’d start with getting rid of that ridiculous packaging. Why waste money on that stupid box?
i’m rooting for him tho

It’s too bad that lurpiv had all the little details right, but so many of the bigger issues wrong.
With how fast everything moves today/ the fact that everyone is a brand or company there are some things , like trucks, that need time before coming out.
I never bought them, and haven’t tried them on anyone else’s board.
I know Oski will be fine in the long run even if he “lost it all” like he says in this video ( I know it’s kind of a joke video with the super serious tone). He still has a solid check with Nike and could for another 10 years if he just keeps positive and skates. That money could potentially carry him for the rest of his life if used smartly. I like him as a skater a lot, but it seems like people were bummed on that oski likes sharks part, and outside of being in a polar production, maybe he is not as interesting as when he is in it. I genuinely wish the dude well and hope he doesn’t get depressed by this.
It could be worse, he could be known for pushing nft’s or something.

So this is what I got told:
The factory that produced Lurpivs actually used to make car parts. Their biggest costumer pulled out so they were struggling and had to find other forms of revenue. That’s where Lurpiv came to play. But I guess it wasn’t enough to keep the lights on so they had to shut down.
From what I know, the trucks were kinda expensive to produce in comparison to the industry’s standard.
That’s why lurpiv was just selling them directly to the consumer through their webstore.
They were struggling to get them to be sold at skate shops and still make a decent profit…
But I feel like this is not the last time we hear about them… maybe they’ll move somewhere that makes it more business friendly. Who knows…

That's the only way to make it sustainable in the long run profit wise, China manufacturers got the scale and ability to take smaller MOQs if he can work past the language barrier.
Trucks are the hardest skate product to introduce to the market especially if you're doing a brand new design. Decks, wheels and bushings are essentially the same products with different graphics screened on, with trucks he's starting from ground zero.
-
A real Saab story.

Props to Oski for not trying to just capitalize on his popularity with like a clothing/ deck brand that's uninspired, and actually trying to take the road less traveled to make something of substance.
Hope he is able to establish something that has staying power in the skate industry, as that's what it seems he's looking for. Just hope he finds his way while he's still on top of the professional world.
Stoked to have a pair of the first batch shipped out and the box, little piece of skate history now I guess?
-
Yeah it was cool he did something other than edgy/stupid T-shirt’s…but there’s a reason there has never been more than 3-4 truck companies people care about.
Can’t speak to whatever technical shit was going on with those trucks that was supposed to be in ovational
Or whatever but they always just looked like old Indy’s to me.
No more truck companies. Unless Krēper is coming back in which case ima need em by yesterday.
Free max b
-
Still completely down for them even if they have to switch up manufacturing to a cheaper location. People hate on Chinese manufacturing but they really have made leaps and bounds over the last 10ish years or so. Also as a few others have said ditching the gimmicky packaging for something cheaper and more sustainable would be a smart move in my opinion. Being based in Canada trucks cost around 90 CAD a pair plus tax so the price for something skater owned/created was always fine with me.
-
The geometry is great, hefty pop feel on a tall surfy truck that isn't squirrelly and doesn't wheelbite.
No complete axle and a shouldered kingpin bolt were terrible ideas. Inverted kingpins are already prone to untighten, reaming out the baseplate kingpin hole, and wiggling around, so introducing a shouldered bolt is just exacerbating the issues. The grub screw in the baseplate was a weak bandaid that will inevitably fall out. It's a shame, they're really fun trucks.
The price wasn't exorbitant for a Swedish-made hard good with rheocasting, imho.
Unless Krēper is coming back in which case ima need em by yesterday.
Grind King put out the Disruptor trucks a couple of years ago.
-
I had 0 issues with my Lurpiv trucks, maybe because I didn't go too hard on trasnition in them. That being said. I do hope is moving on to more efficient production that can fix the design flaws and keep a similar geometry. A light version would also be dope.

They need to make ones that wont snap before they start worrying about how to make them lighter lol

look at all the smaller brands of trucks and how many people actually ride them. Krux coming off that NHS network and no one rides them. Ace seemed like a good brand but again no one rides them. You gotta have some big money for marketing to beat out indy, thunder, venture.

It certainly seems as if Ace is being adopted regionally, but where I am I used to be the only one not skating Ace Trucks. Now I’m on Ace again so no worries there.

Yeah I noticed a few weeks ago they stopped updating their instagram besides a story here and there, then the website went down, he never spoke about them on his Bunt, I also noticed all his homies ride Ace in that weird shark video. I have pair and besides all the shit that doesn't make sense like the European bolt sizing, they really cool trucks, I eventually just took them and put the hangers on Indy baseplates and was super into them. They also seemed to have no distribution outside of themselves and the whole $90 a set thing. I would always tell people the Lurpiv 2 will probably be the perfect truck and the Lurpiv 3 will just be and Ace or Indy with different badges cuz people wouldn't be into something new.

I don’t even like Ace but they’re definitely the most popular truck around here aside from maybe Indy.
-
he has been skating texas a lot and i heard multiple people say he was moving there. maybe he’ll have them made in china for cheaper and then run the company out of texas so shipping costs go down, since i imagine most of his business comes from the states. i still want to try a pair, i was hesitant already by the price and then when i saw axles breaking left & right i figured it would be worth waiting until they improve.
-
Portland shops always seem to stock Aces, and I see them in the wild fairly often.
Hat tip on their soft goods, too. Just scored a USA-made, embroidered crew neck for $22.
-
Are we really arguing over the popularity of Ace Trucks? How big is that rock you've been living under?
-
Well played! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nice!
-
Aces are also really popular in Canada at least on the east Coast (Montreal/Toronto) from what I can tell. When the AF1s came out they were sold out everywhere for a while and all the shops I buy from seem to be carrying Aces now. I have them on my cruiser/80s gonz board setup. I wonder if it also has to do with the other truck companies having a ton of different SKUs with slight variations. I have a really hard time remember which each thunders variation is based on the name alone. Feel like Ace making things as simple as possible helped them a lot.
-
The $100+ truck that broke within months for half its customer base and necessitated multiple "fixes" and redesigns isn't a smashing financial success? Well I'll be damned.
Film and Ace have the right idea. I'm much more interested in a refined indy/thunder than I am in something brand new. Also the only way I'm comfortable paying double for a pair of trucks is if they last twice or long or weigh half as much (or both, like Ti-Hangers).

Seeing that Ace is from the Bay Area, i find this hard to believe. They were everywhere in the Bay 15 years ago, way before anywhere else had even heard of them

Man I was living in Guangzhou China and so many guys started to ride ACE's the last two years and now im back in the Valley/LA , California and so many people ride ACE. Also noticed so many former Indy guys are on ACE. now like Nick Bosero, Spanky etc.
-
Moving the production to Switzerland.
You heard it here first.
Doesn't make much sense to struggle financially and move the production to the most expensive country in Europe.
There's also customs and taxes shipping the stuff to the European Union.
Maybe they find a swiss partnership or whatever but my first thought was ACE manufacturing Lurpivs...
-
I'm enjoying learning from this thread how popular Ace Trucks are around the world.

He just needs to find machine shop that can handle request. I think he had an "in" with machine shop like his family or something. His alloy is standard. Don't act like skateboard trucks are aerospace specified. If he is losing, he's trying to do right with his customers. He can also claim lose with machine shop for not meeting his drawing standards. Or just buy aces. Idk.

Pretty sure from what we've seen that it's not the machine shops fault that these trucks just don't work. The 2 piece axle is obviously a bad design and the kingpin coming loose isn't due to the machine shop not getting tolerances right. Machine shops will make what you design. If the design is shit, the product will be shit.
-
Ace are definatly popular. It's gone from the big two to the big four. But it took ace ten+ years to get to this. You wouldn't see anyone outside of Japan and on a board bigger than 7.75 until fairly recently. Lurpiv unfortunately wasn't backed by diamond and all its large print t shirt money.

Looks like oski couldn't rheocast his way around structural engineering basics.
-
The lopsided ratio of Ace Truck focused comments vs. Lurpiv focused comments on what was supposed to be a Lurpiv thread really displays how well it’s going for Oski’s brand.
-
Oski’s Bunt interview was really interesting, especially when he talked about spending a month living at Tony Hawk’s house. Oski was really inspired by Hawk’s marketing grind. He also mentioned wanting to be a “philanthropist” in the future. In other words, Oski fancies himself a businessman grindset type guy. Moving to Texas would make a lot of sense, if that rumor is true. It’s a state that’s very popular with business owner types who care more about “no income tax” than they do about anything else. It also has killer skateparks. I don’t know anything about Lurpiv tho, who cares. I skate Aces.

I'll perv
I think you see where I'm going with all of this.
‘Purv Vert
Il Purve souvent.

The Ill Purv verse on that Lil Blurp track is pretty nice

Slurpiv Up. If Pontus rebrands it with some cool logo, makes them 90s somehow and fixes the kingpin, it'll be huge.

Pontus just posted the updated Lurpiv on instagram, and seems involved with the company moving forward. I’d expect them to be out again soon
What post? I couldn’t find it.

I like Oski, him skating.
That he try to build up something with his Nike money
is a good decision. A truck company woud be my last recommendation… but ok - he is trying and I respect that.
I like Pontus - as a weirdo - and because of his past in skateboarding.
Pontus was one of the first people Oski meet trough skating - and he put him under the wing - since he had some success with different brands - good he support Osk Idea.but
becoming successful with a European truck company will difficult anyway - good luck

Pontus has been posting a couple sneak peeks of the comeback, here’s a clip of someone skating them:

I had a pair and they felt pretty good tbh, until they exploded on me :(

Exploded? Please elaborate.

Those two-piece axles didn’t wind up being the technological breakthrough they had hoped: they were just technological breaks. Period.
Still plan on coughing for a set of the revised design, though.
Shame on me?

They are now being made at the same factory as indy and ace and are injected not gravity poured so they will have the same quality as ace AF. I beleive pontus invested and they are now being distributed through the same distros that do polar and last resort. I looked at the catalog and they come in standard and hollows, no more inverted kingpin.

oh thank god lurpiv is back. not skating them
