Slappy Trucks ST1 Inverted Hollow Light/Ultra Low Kingpin Polished 8.5 (Sold as Pair)

Slappy Trucks ST1 Inverted Hollow Light / Ultra Low Kingpin Polished 8.5 (Sold as Pair) are built for skaters who live for locking in early, staying clear of hang-ups, and turning faster than anything else in the line. The polished hanger and baseplate give these trucks a clean, classic look, but the real magic is in the engineering. The inverted ultra-low hollow kingpin sits tucked away from grinds, paired with a hollow axle and shorter top bushing to maximize clearance and eliminate kingpin drag. From the first push, there’s no break-in time—they turn quick, stay stable, and snap back clean, making ledges, rails, and curbs feel automatic.

The forged baseplate keeps weight down while adding strength where it counts, and the refined geometry increases the signature Slappy turning angle for a responsive, surfy feel without sacrificing control. The axle width on the 8.5 size lines up perfectly with wider decks, giving you a balanced stance that reduces wheel bite while still letting the trucks carve tight and fast. Every detail, from the smooth pivot to the extra kingpin thread for dialing in your preferred looseness, is designed for skaters who want performance without compromise—just more grind clearance, quicker turns, and 100% fun.

Founded by Mike Sinclair, Slappy Trucks was born from a lifelong obsession with making trucks that actually grind better. Sinclair took everything he learned skating rough curbs, crusty ledges, and DIY spots and poured it into a design that removes the usual weak points. The ST1 series reflects that mindset—purpose-built hardware that feels just as at home blasting a curb cut as it does holding speed through a long session. Around the San Gabriel Valley, trucks like these make sense for everything from parking blocks to concrete ledges that don’t forgive sloppy setups.
