Oskis New Truck Brand

[Paperclip20]

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.

[Frank and Fred]

These things look horrendous to me. Too many angles and not enough curves. I back Oski and Pontus and hope this works out but yuck...

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.

 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.

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

Lots of people in the Ace and Indy threads - including me - have gone back to Indy and have found them to grind better and be more stable.

Hmmm…
One-piece axle that goes all the way through the hanger: check.
Standard kingpin, so no pesky grub nut: check.
Seems like he may be on the right track.
Not gonna lie, I may have to check out a pair this time.
Wonder if he retained that same, swoopy/carvey geometry?

Where @Lou Strux goes, I follow

Nice, I loved the Lurpiv turn and grind, they were on par with Indy. The IKP sucked and the old axle bent and broke on me but the new one should be good. Bring it on Oski.

Info I got: One piece axle (no weird metal alloy hanger this time), standard kingpin, a bit lower height (previous ones were really tall, could swear higher than standard Indy), Turning geometry stays the same, just the angular design got a bit simpler. Supposedly now made in Ace trucks factory.

They gonna have all the sizes from 139 to 169 if I remember correctly.

I'd be down if there was a trade in program for those who bought v1. I know it's my fault but I'm still super sad I fell for it.

[Xen]

They've got the royal pitted look to them finish-wise.

[fartface]

They now use the same factory as Ace.
Atleast according to J-Mag

I’ll buy a pair once they do a collab with stiga. Until then these off the table.

[TwisT]

if theyre made by ace, maybe they'll come in at a more standard msrp. like 45-60ish a pair. hopefully, they also shaved off a few grams as well.

Either way. If they can't do a hollow, I'm out. I love how the truck looks, and feel, but not the weight.

J-Mag was riding a pair with a hollow axle when I met him last weekend.
He called it a prototype.

Nothing which hasn’t already been discussed,  it worth a share here.

[LebowskisRug]

So will the main selling point be the geometry? They likely won't be light, but I remember people saying they turned really well without wheelbiting which sounds sorta like the Slappy turn.

[Idk]

Ugliest looking trucks that aren’t sold at Target or Walmart.

This. I dont give a fuck how a truck looks, but if I did, this would be the one I wouldnt buy.

I run my V1's on my cruiser. Really excellent turn and feel just didn't want to risk dying with the inverted kingpin lol.

Will definitely get a set when they return.

I've never understood why he made them look like fingerboard trucks. For me it comes off like trying hard to be cool but failing, whereas other ugly trucks like mini logos aren't even attempting to be cool.

Pontus shared a video on his story of them again today.

[Vexed]

So they’ve abandoned any non-standard tech and moved manufacturing to China.

MSRP should drop substantially.

[disgruntledMTAEmployee]

noticed that too. but if they're made in an ace factory the pivot cups are going to be trash

Forgot how hideous those are

For some reason they make your skate look like a 2000s videogame skate setup, and I love it
