Oskis New Truck Brand

I agree, in the 90s a sesh was often cut short if you or someone else didn‘t bring extra kingpins, which we usually did.

As for Lurpiv, I guess all failures are meticulously reported on Slap because they are new, whereas the failures of other trucks are not or don‘t provoke the same outrage. There is a dude in a general truck thread whose Indy axel snapped neat at the hanger. Nobody thinks Indy is doomed because of that.

Yea and it was the titanium ones.. exact same thing happened to my friends standard indys last week ,3rd session on them practicing tre flips on flat.

[burm]

My local indoor skatepark has made coat hangers by attaching old baseplates with kingpins on the wall, it's so wild to me who also used to have stack of replacement kingpins in the 90s to see all these perfectly usable kingpins just used as decorations, but I figured people apparently don't break those any more

[vicious cycle]

I broke my Indy TI axle on a Flatground Kickflip.
I reported this a the a few weeks ago.
The distribution gave me a new set for free after i mailed them the pictures.
I didn't touched them since.
I'm also the guy who reported the broken Lurpiv hangar.
I just never seen a truck break like that and wanted to share it.
Same goes for the Indys..
I didn't mean to talk shit on these trucks or something.
Just sharing stuff.

Dang, nothing on the lurpiv thread since the 21st? Wonder if they will come through the other side of all this mess and be the golden child everyone wanted them to be? All I know is I took my pair off my board, can't speak for other people.

Nah man. I only broke that Indy axle.
The broken Lurpiv was from a dude i met skating. i've witnessed it firsthand and took a picture.
Overall i just broke 3 trucks in my life. 2 Destructo and 1 Indy.

Have to admit even being a big fan of them mine have been relegated to my second "fun" board in exchange for some plain old thunders.

Shout out to the Lurpiv support team. I emailed them because I had the nylock coming out of one of my nuts. Got 8 replacements and some stickers in the mail 2 days later.

Did the same thing. Although the new nuts also had nylon that popped out so it was a bit pointless. Please update us whether or not the new nuts worked for you...

[Grant Patronik]

Got a pair of 149s for sale that I really don't want. PM me if interested.

Do any shops in the US carry the trucks, or do I have to buy them from Lurpiv directly?

I'm not aware of any shops that carry them, though I read somewhere on here a while back about shops getting some pretty crazy pricing on them, so they might be in a shop somewhere. I would suggest waiting for the next revision though, but that's just my 2cents.

[LebowskisRug]

Crazy how quickly these fell from grace.

[IpathCats]

Crazy how quickly these fell from grace.

What's even crazier is how little testing seemed to be done. These fell from grace so quickly because lots of people started skating (testing) them and identified some pretty obvious flaws without much time spent on them. I noticed in some of the CPH footage Oski was first spotted riding lurpivs, that his trucks looked SUPER loose in a few clips..... probably from them loosening themselves like they did to others. Pretty obvious oversight.

I also think a lot of skate shops are a bit weary of all the potential issues and complaints from customers. theyre probably waiting until the main issues get resolved.

Rooting for Lurpiv and excited to get a pair when they fix the main issues

Oski back on Ace? Riding Ace hollows here:

Been riding them with the normal kingpins and I have no complaints since…

Damn. Talk about a slow rollout with the bearings as they seem to have just came available. Ace hollows too. Still not available.

I mean we got a pretty fast rollout from hearing about to lurpivs being available. Slow rollouts are totally fine by me.

Supply chain is just screwed up right now. Boards take longer than usual, i am sure it is the same across all products.

Yeah. Maybe Oski got fed up with the slow rollout of the Ace hollows and SKF skate bearings and jumped the gun with Lurpivs.

Probably wasn't a supply chain issue since they were designed/made in Sweden...ACE is facing the China chain issues.

[LebowskisRug]

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

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

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.

They’re made in Italy. Italy did get hit pretty hard with the COVID in the beginning. No idea if it caused any issues with manufacturing bearings though.

The only people I ever see making hay about Chinese-made Independent Trucks are the dorks in the comment section of their IG complaining about Indy getting rid of the Iron Cross.

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