Slappy Trucks - The best grind clearance in the truck game
Slappy Trucks is a skateboard truck brand founded by Mike Sinclair, a respected figure in the skateboarding world—formerly team manager at Nike SB and Tum Yeto. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Sinclair set out to design his own trucks, dedicating two years to testing shapes, bushings, kingpins, and finishes. His goal was clear: to build a truck with the best grind clearance on the market without sacrificing turn. The result: Slappy Trucks, designed with real skateboarders in mind.
Among the lineup is the Slappy Trucks ST1 Classic — a durable truck with traditional geometry, built for all-around performance. Key features of the ST1 Classic include:
• Quickest turn in its class
• Best grind clearance on the market
• Less wheel bite thanks to optimized hanger geometry
• No break-in time — ready to skate right out of the box
• Individually cast and tuned for consistent quality
• Available in a range of widths: 8.0", 8.25", 8.5", 8.75", 9.0"
Slappy Trucks is distributed by Sidewalk Distribution, alongside brands like Opera Skateboards and Jacuzzi Unlimited. With its authentic approach, functional design, and rider-focused development, Slappy has built a cult following in the skateboarding community.
