We are proud to introduce you to the Slappy ST1 Inverted Hollow trucks!
Mike Sinclair has designed and tested the ST1 classics for over the course of 2 years to ensure that the perfect truck was created.
The main goal Mike desired, was to have the best grind clearance available without affecting/messing up the turning ratio of the trucks.
As a result, the Slappy trucks feature a higher grind clearance to minimize the worries about sticking during smith grinds or feebals. In addition, Mike’s design has these Slappy trucks consisting of a strong and light construction build, while maintaining a classic look and feel in polished silver.
The featured inverted hollow kingpin provides better grinding clearance and can be used with either a 5.5mm Allen key or standard 9/16″ hex wrench. The innovative new shaft nut in the baseplate creates a rigid and durable solution to lateral movement found in most inverted kingpin designs and increases adjustability.
PLEASE NOTE: For sizing, please see the following size guide below. The truck size is proportionate to the deck width you are riding for ease while trying to decide which truck would fit best!

All throughout the pandemic, when the world stopped, and things were locked down, I started messing with my trucks. I decided to start working on designs, and the sampling process began shortly after.
I went through so many different versions of the hangers and baseplates, experimenting with different bushings, bushing heights, hardnesses, turning radius, kingpins, polishes, and the list goes on for over two years. I finally got the truck to where I really like it.
The main thing I wanted in a truck was to have the best grind clearance I could get without messing up the turn I wanted.
I also wanted the truck to be strong, light, and have a classic look and feel. At the end of all this, it’s just me in my garage trying to create something new with Slappy trucks. - Mike Sinclair
