Oskis New Truck Brand

[Hyliannightmare]

We out here skating minis in yeezy basketball shoes

 I think given his physical limitations he’s cool with just being able to skate and enjoy himself not really caring about his grind % of total tricks.

[zozu]

The board side of the hanger is completely flat  I imagine that would be some decent weight saving, not like its actually needed but it could make some grinds work differently.
I actually really dig the design aesthetically but they look about 60mm tall which is insane (and oski is still skating them with risers too)

I imagine if he got some guys like Heitor on the team it could really take off.

Swedish steeeel!

I'm down for a made in Europe Truck

[close]

Me too. I wasn’t that psyched, thinking it was yet another made in china truck company, but this “made in Sweden” changes everything! Super ballsy move from Oski, definitely backing this, will buy. We’ve seen Film push the Euro Truck angle in that Jenkem article (but then say they can’t make em anywhere but china), and Pontus teased the local manufacturing angle/environmental/sustainable for AB (then pumped them out from Vietnam). So to actually put your money where your mouth is, and back local production in your own country is a straight up boss move. This is what skateboarding needs more of, backing this 100%.

Probably until you see the price. This shit is going to be like $150 a pair.

First thing that popped into my head too. But on the other hand I think people are ready to pay more for locally made shit here, especially after seeing how covid took shelves empty and nobody knew when they’ll get more product from overseas.

Yeah exactly. It might be a bit expensive, but there are now so many made in China truck companies that trying to compete without a point of difference seems even harder. Down here in Oz, some FA boards rrp for 150US, flight decks are even more, titanium Indy are 120US, f4 are 60US - so paying more for “made in Sweden” trucks isn’t really that crazy. Excited to see what happens. Not saying these are going to replace my regular trucks, but I’d get them anyway for the novelty and backing homegrown production (not just chasing the cheapest global production you can find).

Hate the way they look but I’d spend extra for sonething made in Sweden if the specs and stuff are to my liking

[IpathCats]

They look better than ventures

[Dan Gerous]

They look better than ventures

I think so too... It would be nice if they had highs and lows like Venture. By the looks of those we saw, way too high for me to consider them, and compared to those, maybe lows would still be too high, like 54mm or something!

Heard that they are releasing on Thursday from a reliable source

Don't say stuff like that, last time I guessed a release of something I was dead wrong

Well then we will see, seems pretty fast all things considered but we live in a world where people have a 30 second attention span so I wouldn't be shocked

Thought so too, no guarantee it’s on Thursday but I hope so

[pops]

Dang those look super high and kinda weird overall but I'm def interested since they're made in Sweden. I wish Oski the best success with his truck brand.

Yeah I asked Erik today and he said they will stock Lurpiv at streetlab 100%

[Fhk]

Are a lot of the Polar crew changing over too these?

[Chavo]

Everyone is saying early Indy, but Indys are Bennett knockoffs. Pivot design, non-cylindrical hanger, and square baseplate (except for the pinch) suggest heavy Bennett influence.

[RottenToTheCore]

Oski is creating a new skate shop November 1st

[stets]

LURPIV really out here making a full-size version of those expensive ass Tech Deck trucks from Blackriver





And as noted there are Bennet Vector vibes to it as well

It's highly unlikely that t-hanger design will stand up to the rigors of modern skating. Just look at Indy Stage 1 though 4, and the original Ace. They all end up with a truss shape because of bent axles and cracked hangers.

Agreed. Anything wider than 8" is going to crash and burn (even Theeve had to add the truss even tho there wasn't bending going on). I still don't A) understand how 215s hold up and B) why Indy doesn't use them for trimming down the rest of the line (unless they don't hold up at other widths)...but then again, why do the 215s?

Maybe it's because the 215s don't have the "hollowed out" hanger design?
Spitballin' over here with some wild-guess action.

I think because for the most part, 215s are not widely used street skating. They are mostly being used for cruising/carving/downhill/goofing around. Nothing too high-stress, maybe occasionally on a super wide pig for carve grinding.

76€ for a pair of trucks is cheaper than indy hollows and ti's in europe. Fair price, amazing weight, 55mm height is awesome. Too bad I just set up new trucks, would love to try them.

[GBLange]

two axle system? so its not a single axle going through the hanger? rheocasting, some aerospace tech

76? I see 92€

I'm really bummed that only came in 2 sizes 139 & 149, was expecting sizes for bigger boards. I guess I would have to wait until the next drops.

[munchbox]

im seeing $91 USD

which brave soul is going to guinea pig them without any wheelbase info?
