Oskis New Truck Brand

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I think the "anti wheelbite" tech is just the fact that the hanger is going to touch the baseplate and stop before the wheel touches? surely it's totally depending on wheel size to start with. And over time, the hanger and/or baseplate is going to start deforming at the contact area?

Also, highlighting the hollow axle throughout is kind of redundant. No one makes a half hollow axle. it's either hollow or not.

Exactly. It doesn't really work in reality. But my fav is the "4-hole mounting pattern". True innovation at its peak...

[Ghost Face]

looking at those photos again I would say that, over time, the pressure from the hanger pushing into the baseplate will make the opposite side of the pivot cup weaker too and it's most probly going to fail there first, cracking the pivot cup.

It’s this attention to detail that tells me these things are going to be 🔥🔥🔥 trucks.
Still gonna grab a set once there’s a sale going somewhere.

Gotta ask, though: how are these guys going to convince shops (especially those larger retailers that went in hard on initial quantities, expecting the company to last & the product to be substantiative) to order these new jawns when they’re still sitting on piles of the older versions (both grub-lock, AND the prior iteration) that they are yet to move due to the product’s damaged rep & high price?
Talk about a tough hill to climb.

I wanna buy these new versions, but I wish the non reverse kingpins were still available for the old version.

I’d probably start riding them again if I could get my hands on some.

Pretty sure Tactics still has a mound of the older design gathering dust: act now while supplies, um... very slowly diminish?

[moonordie]

Hope they will do better this time. Will never try them since I can't stand that it looks like a truck doodle by a 5yo  + brand sounds like an STD.

I should have clarified, I was meaning replacement kingpins.

If I could get my hands on some replacement kingpins I’d be golden.

Free sets of Slurpivs for customers who bought the Gen 1? I had 2 sets and felt like I got scammed.

Since Pontus is involved now that's gonna be easy: Make Lurpiv accounts mandatory if you want to keep your Polar account.

Minor weight reduction, your wheels overlap that part mostly.

The hollows are actually pretty light in their respective sizes. As someone that rides a lot of 8.38s the 145 sound cool.

Yes the 145 sound perfect I pretty much exclusively ride 8.38 decks as well.

but is pontus that evil?

[Lou Strux]

Made in the same factory as Ace now? 
Sounds reassuring unless they’re talking about the Classics.
Come to think of it, the AF1s had a semi clunky roll out with that “hand poured pivot cup” issue. I’m not sure Lurp can sustain another QC hit, especially on this 2nd attempt at a launch.  They’d better make sure it’s right before they get too far away from the docks, or they’ll go down in deep water with all hands lost.

i was mostly joking, but I do think Pontus got involved for a reason. Perhaps it's just to provide his expertise and connections. But he might sprinkle just a little evil on there, too.

So lemme ask honestly: what's Lurpiv's unique selling proposition?

I don't really see a particular reason to favour them over other trucks, especially the eternally tried-and-tested big brands who have quality control down pat.

For someone riding e.g. Indys or Ventures, a new truck would have offer something really tangible to make them jump camp. Not everyone has the money or even willingness to try out new trucks just for fun, especially if and when their current trucks are just, y'know, hella good. All major trucks can compete with any newcomer with lightness, durability, performance (be it the turn, pop or whatever).

I jumped on the Ace bandwagon for a while in the past because their turning ability was marketed pretty well and was more or less based on reality. But Lurpiv? I don't know. If they were built in Sweden by former Abba members I would be more interested.

It'd be great if they succeeded, but as someone pointed out earlier, you can't escape the cold fact that the truck market is hella saturated as it is.

I feel that their "thing" is the horrible look that some might like after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Originally their thing was that they were made in Sweden and came in a metal box I think.

I think they only pointed that out because the previous version didn’t have a “full length” axle. It was a solid piece of metal with a small axle bit at each end.

Yes, I remember, and I was very skeptical of that design.

[Jack Locke]

Trying the Lurpivpendent mix, inverted Indy baseplate. Honestly feels better than the lurpiv baseplate. Also, no wheelbite without risers on 60mm wheels

[DERBY]

apart from the concern around snapping axels my first gen lurpivs have been good after i ditched all the nuts. the ikp slipped a ton and lurpiv sent me a replacement regular kingpin. i kept the ikp on but swapped it for the polished nut they sent me with the regular kingpin. shits worked so far.

i just dont ride em since i personally dislike the turn of lurpivs. they feel boxier compared to an ace, indy or even thunder

Second set was a free replacement for the first set, guess I was a lil stupid to skate them again and expect anything different lol.

[Badandoldskater]

Anyone got a pair I can try out

[JM]

How is the mall grab feel? Is it better than Indy?

[Vintagebody]

I will try these. I'm a heavy wheelbiter, but I dont think the wheelbite tech's force is great enough to wear them down absurdly fast.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Shin is Lurpiv curious according to his recent insta story, did ACE drop him?

[Banned from the room]

But what about Manny's? Can't you like just lean into the anti wheel bite tech and cheat your way to Buddhahood
