Oskis New Truck Brand

[switchfakie]

Oh good- I was hoping we’d have the chance to watch Lurpivs develop into stage v indys over the next few years.

there were rumors of lurpiv coming back, but dont take my word on it

[Mongo Lloyd]

Does anyone have the specs on kingpin/nut dimension for Lurpivs? I’ve used blue loctite on the kingpin, and so far so good, but truly I’d prefer to just replace the inverted kingpin altogether.

[Lou Strux]

Sincerely hoping somebody has saved a pair of the original run of Lurps so that if/when the company experiences a Phoenix-like rebirth, we can compare the two closely & thoroughly examine the (+/-) .75 mm change in axle height, as well as how the wheel base measurements differ, if at all.
Us nerds gonna nerd, after all.
For certs wouldn’t mind trying a set if they ever re-appear w/o the (sizable) handful of QC & mfg. issues that plagued the 1st run.
I spent all of 5 minutes on those 1st ones & I was into them. Maybe. Sort of?

I have a stockpile of the 8” and 8.25” axle’s. The trucks work exceptionally well for me, and having been unsure of the future I made sure to collect a whole bunch.

I have about 4 sets in each size.

[alraunen]

Pontus involved on Lurpiv 2.0, having a global distribution by polar would definitely help them even if they failed their first attempt

[TheLowerBack]

Hopefully they've worked out the bugs. Love the way these look. And is that a baby blue bushing, or just te Lighting?

[tzhangdox]

Looks like normal kingpin and normal axle nuts. Already solves most of the problems they had.

[moonordie]

There are too many truck brands right now and Lurpiv had their chance to become something, bailed and their spot was taken by Slappy.
Hopefully they'll succeed this time.

[Síota]

Looks like they machined the inner washer on the hanger. Always wondered why other brands didn't do this. I constantly lose washers haha.

[IpathCats]

Wonder if they use a solid one piece axel now? Would surely make them heavier

[GBLange]

pricey? cheaper?

[backside_frontside]

Turdpiv rises again. Will anyone care this time around. Nah

[Bror]

Got a set from a friend, anybody know what duro their bushings are?

Got a zip with some extra bushings that was stamped 90a. Maybe switching to those if theyre harder.

Also anyone still riding their lurpz? Do I dare to run them on my cruiser?

I'll buy a set of V2 as soon as skate shops in the US carry them. The only thing that held me back from trying V1 was all the complaints. Plus, with Pontus behind the relaunch, distribution is probably going to be on point. If I remember correctly, the only shop I found that carried them was Tactics.

royal & slappy share their spot as a timeshare, it's fine

also

 How can you even think of comparing Lurpiv to Slappy?  Oskar deserves major props for not giving up on his dream, even after a huge setback. A lot of people seem to be ditching Ace and going back to Indy , so having Lurpiv back is a breath of fresh air, no doubt about it. Its a beautiful truck.

This is how I see it.

Indy, ACE, Lurpiv, and Slappy all kinda fall into the same truck family. Average or higher height with an emphasis on turn, shorter wheelbase, great grind.

Venture, Thunder, and Royal fall into a different family. Average or lower height, with an emphasis on snappy pop, lighter weight, longer wheelbase, but with a bit worse turn/grind than the first family.


I'm over simplifying things here so please don't get all bent out of shape over my generalizations.

I see what you're saying.

[shpongle]

Is it possible to make a truck that has longer wheelbases, quick turning like ace’s, with a taller baseplate like lurpiv?

[augustmoon]

I’ll definitely try a pair, especially if it’s through Polar

[Síota]

Same. Wonder where they are being made.

[logjammin]

It would be cool to see him succeed in the next attempt. But that kingpin clearance ain't looking good. Just do the shaft nut design in the baseplates for inverted use and not the stupid grublock thing.

[TwisT]

I just really like the design of lurpiv. And they felt good. Just heavy

I just want lurpiv hollow, with a standard kingpin. I don’t care where or how they’re made.

I don't know who has ditched Ace for Indy it seems it's the other way around

Simply: 2 new brands. One failed spectacularly and the other was low key doing things right offering what people wanted (IKP).
Good for Oski for not giving up but it seems to me that a lot of people are on the Polar dick riding wagon and there's nothing wrong with that but Lurpivs look awful. I don't want to see at my board and see fucking Megatron but I guess beauty is subjective and remains on the eye of the beholder.
Also I have no idea where you got the Indy for Ace thing, is totally the other way.

[pops]

Im stoked on the V2s and will definitely try them if they're well-made this time around.

[radcunt]

has anyone threaded a baseplate for inverted kingpins? 

[Dong Hanglo]

Any updates on these? They look pretty dope. Looks like a more conventional standard kingpin is being used. I’m guessing the design flaws got “standardized” for lack of a better term. Or just building them more like the other brands truck. Really hoping the price is reasonable this time around. Less tech should equal lower production costs but we’ll see.

I’m most excited to see how they market a known failures comeback. Vaguely reminiscent of a toxic ex relationship telling you “they’ve changed.”

Would be pretty hilarious if they had some kinda "We've changed" advertisement.

Always looooved the look of these and am interested in their comeback.
