Oskis New Truck Brand

[rawbertson.]

i guess in my mind, all the brands kingpins drag if you do a lot of feebles, unless you have inverted kingpin which i did suggest would be an improvement. I am never in the grind and thinking like "oh man i am hitting the nut right now i am dead" unless i was doing a grind where i didnt intend for it to contact. if its a really shitty spot and you are trying to 5050 you dont want your kingpins touching of course. I personally chalk that up to user error though. It doesnt feel like you are hitting the axle quicker than other trucks or anything like that.

I also never rode them with small wheels so I can't comment on that. I did mention that as well this was just a perfect truck for my use case - not suggesting it would be perfect for everyone

People with complaints noted that once the trucks wear in the KP catches on chunky ledges and curbs even for 50-50s and they feel it more, which slows the grind and/or reduces confidence. It still works, kinda like when Thunders are near the end of their life.

I just got a set of the 140 hollow ones in the mail yesterday. waiting to set them up on a whole new Christmas complete. I like what I see people saying about them though.


been an Indy guy for the 20+ years I’ve been skating, and these pretty much go against everything I’d look for in a truck. but who knows? could be my fav trucks I’ve ever skated. 🤷‍♂️

I have definitely noticed stuff like that. Interesting. I will try my other trucks on the spots I was having trouble with. They are all probably pretty grinded down at this point gonna have to get some new ones in the spring  probably going to get Slappy next!

i think you will find that you will ultimately remain an indy guy

A truly timeless message

lmaooo 🤣☠️

id give the lurpiv lows a shot
should they ever exist

[gaunting]

Ok, I decided to set them up on an older deck that I still had.

got to say, I love these so far. gave them a half turn on the back, and a quarter turn in the front.

they turn amazing, but also don’t wheel bite like crazy. just like I read someone people say.

only been one 2-3 hour session on them. but I have nothing but great things to say so far.

I kept reading very interesting reviews on Lurpivs. Tomorrow I'll try mine, couldn't wait till Spring.

[JugeL]

Tried mine for two months, not my cup of tea. Wheelbase feels too long for the height. Back to the trusty old Indys.

[BeachChicken]

Despite my gripes they do have the best turn around. Not disputing that. Best blend of carve and stability.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

After a couple months on mine I’m fully lurp pilled. As a pretty non-technical skater the kingpin and pinch don’t really bother me. The height also surprisingly hasn’t bothered me. I switched back to aces really briefly but came immediately back to my lurps. I understand why people wouldn’t like them, but for my skating they’re pretty perfect.

One thing I’ve noticed now that they’re broken in is the pivot cup has probably compressed a bit so the trucks rattle if I pick my board up and jiggle, but it doesn’t really affect the ride. They still feel really stable and turn great. If I tightened the trucks a bit I’m sure it would go away but I haven’t needed to.

Goal now is to axle them. Dig that groove baby

[Too Frank To Fred]

Not disputing that.

Oh there could be plenty of dispute. A good turn is so subjective...

[moonordie]

I love Lurpivs, they worked amazingly good for me.
Didn't need to touch them at all, skated them for like 30 min and they felt great straight away.
Turning is fun and wheelbite is practically non existent.
I did my best skating on Indy's and these are the same height (55mm) so they felt natural for me.
Extremely happy with them.

[pekkaaa]

I'm still very happy with mine. Been skating them for almost a year now.

They turn just as deep as an Ace with tons of stability in on top but zero delay. Sure, turn is subjective but they allow a lot of people to ride much looser than normal. It sounds similar to why people love the slappy turn.

i have some questions for lurpiv enjoyers

1. what size wheels are you skating?

2. how are your crooked grinds and smiths on ledges?

3. what do you mostly skate (transition, ledges, flatbars, etc)

4. what board are you on?

1. 58mm radials
2. they suck, but not because of the Lurpivs
3. street and small transition
4. SLAP

I will say after a few sessions, I am finally used to the stability compared to indy/aces squirrely-ness

I chucked some bones hardcore hard bushings in, and i had to get used to how freakin true to turning these trucks are.

they don't stray from whatever direction you go, so coming from loose/rattling trucks this took a second to adjust my weight distribution for tricks.

mostly skating ledges, manuals, transition and had no issues on the hollow 150s.

   How's the wheel bite? I keep seeing mixed things about it with some people saying it's non-existent and others saying it's bad. I ride 56mm wheels. I'm 250lbs and use bones hard bushings as well. I ride mini ramps, do slappys and manuals and am more or less a glorified bowl cruiser at my advanced age. I like good turning trucks but find Indy's a bit squirly for my weight. I currently ride thunders and the stability is ok but the turn isn't quite what I want and at 53mm, I need to use a 1/16" riser.

For me is 97% non existent.

Wheelbite is just a fact of life for larger skaters. There's no way to avoid it completely if you don't want to crank the everliving fuck out of your trucks. That being said, Lurpivs wheelbite far less for me than Aces, Thunders or even Ventures at comparable tightness.

  Oh for sure. I can't avoid it completely, but anything to reduce it to a manageable amount without really cranking my trucks is nice. With 25% off from 303 I just ordered a pair. Hopefully I like them.

[moonordie]

At first, without even touching them, my Lurpivs felt amazing. Now that a couple weeks went by the back truck is rattling a little. Could be because temperatures are finally rising in here. Anybody had experience the same?
I could turn the bushings with my hand and everything. I had to tighten them up a little bit .

[Osage]

  Rode them for the first time today. First impression is that they're not for me. I'm over 250lbs andf there's just tons of wheel bite with 54's and they just don't feel that stable. I've been on Thunders with a 1/16" shock pad for a while and maybe I'll put the 1/16" pad on these too but so far I'm bummed out.

[BeachChicken]

You weight 100lbs more than the average skater and got a truck known for being turny did you really expect different?
