Slappy Trucks

Mike Sinclair about Slappy Trucks: 

Throughout the pandemic, when the world was at a standstill and things were in lockdown, I started experimenting with my skateboards. I decided to work on designs and the pattern making process began shortly after. I went through so many different versions of suspensions and baseplates, experimented with different bushings, bushing heights, hardnesses, steering radius, axle pins, finishes and the list goes on over two years.

I finally got the truck the way I really like it. The main goal I had with a truck was to have as much room for grinds as possible without sacrificing the maneuverability I wanted. I also wanted the truck to be strong, light and have a classic look and feel. In the end, all of this is just about creating something new with the Slappy Trucks.
