Oskis New Truck Brand

[goodatmeth]

Still waiting for the lurpiv low hollow.
Just a few more weeks, they're gonna figure everything out for sure.

No for real I still want lurpiv to succeed even though I didn't buy them. Any new information, is it over?

Nothing since that sort of joke video oski posted about how starting a business is hard or whatever…

[Uncle Flea]

I would like to try lurpiv. My expectations are they are like these but aluminum and impossible to fail at manual tricks.

I would also like to see how the truck handles sub zero weather. I luv my ventures but they definitely don’t turn in sub zero temperatures. I know it sounds backwards but I skate way way more in the winter.

I definitely need a truck that never ever will get wheel bite.

So uh, anybody know what to replace the missing nubs, other than my tears that is.

Depents on what you mean with nubs.
But if you lost that lill screw that they thought would keep the kingpin thight, your local hardware store could maybe help.
Also depends on the threads. I guess it's a metric one because,made in Sweden .
So basically just find a lill screw that fits and use some loctite.

This happened to me back when they were still responding to email. Lurpiv sent me new ones, but I also bought some at the hardware store.

Here’s what they told me:
“Screws are  ¼” 28UNF Hex 5/16

Lurpiv sales”

[mattchew]

They don’t respond to emails? Damn. I don’t have social media, is Lurpiv completely done now?

[DERBY]

wonder how long ago these were taken

Interesting, In that contest/jam thing oski was a part of recently, it looked like he was on indys

Kind of funny how many pro skaters who had been paid to ride certain trucks end up back riding Indy if their existing spono deal is done, but more so for those guys who ride a taller and maybe looser setup too.

Maybe sour grapes with Ace, otherwise that would be the easiest option.

Yea, had me wondering why he didnt go back to ace. To be fair though, lurpivs were closer to indy's than ace's so it could just be a preference thing.

I used this logic of "pros choose to ride Indy" to gaslight myself for a long time, but in many places its super easy to get permaflow from a rep. Indy has great euro distribution and I know a few of the American managers and TM will basically give a few sets of trucks to any pro that will ask. If a retired pro is going through 2 pairs a year it's basically nothing out of their budget.

[Sketch Hitchcock]

Can’t believe Lurpiv didn’t even last a year, that’s wild

[radcunt]

Hate to think of the money he tanked on this. Ain’t cheap. RIP Slurp Perv

[RichardBarkley]

I thought they were coming back ?

With new manufacturing and distribution?

Yes definitely.

They still have a policy of getting their product out to well known dudes if they don't ask for too much and are not being dicks about it.

Free advertising and all that.

damn, kind of a bummer. wish more came from this. but at the same time, it was pretty poorly executed so that's just kinda what happens.

[Mean salto]

Sucks there was no way to just kind of walk it back and do standard kingpin and axle for a while while they figured out the problems with their improvements.
Wonder how many of those little trucks they made. Maybe they could of become a specific freestyle and mini deck brand for a while. Freestylers would of prob been psyched a company thought of them plus they tend to ride pretty big wheels I think and maybe a higher truck is better for primos and pogos or whatever.

[sacking rails]

these trucks suck just buy indy or ace

  Did that last 25 years and recently switched back to Venture.  So stoked.  More street/trick oriented and more fun (for me) although they aren't perfect.  Willing to try Thunders for a go even tho they feel kinda dead on other peoples boards compared to Venture.  Ventures are funkier.  Want to try Tensors too.

Tensor His turn well. Tensor Los turn kinda shitty but IMO why ride low trucks if you don't like tight trucks? Try the Maglights out they're pretty good, especially if you like grinding concrete as opposed to metal coping. There have been a lot of reports of axles bending on the maglights though, but I've never personally done that.

  Yah I'm stoked.  I have the alloy 8 and a quarters (not low) and am waiting to size down in deck size to try them.  I wish flight did a 8.5 with 14.5 wb.   It goes from 15 down to 14.38.

[Roisto]

My local still has 139s, 144s and 149s. I feel partially responsible as I asked them to get some on Instagram when they came out. I hope this isn’t too much of a loss for them. Maybe I could get a set just to support. Loctite the kingpin nut so it won’t come off and put these on a cruiser or something.
