About Slappy

Slappy makes skateboard trucks with one clear goal, strong turning and more grind clearance. The brand began with Mike Sinclair’s idea to build a truck that turned differently from the big names while keeping the clearance skaters want for slappy grinds and ledge-heavy skating.

That focus shows up across the line. Slappy offers truck widths from 8" to 9", with three construction options, Standard, Hollow, and Hollow Inverted. The design is all about practical skate feel, from stable carving to easier lock-ins on grinds. If you like your skateboard trucks responsive under your feet and set up for street spots, Slappy keeps the brief simple and does it well.

Skaters have gravitated toward Slappy because it feels rider-driven rather than corporate. It is the kind of brand that cares about turning geometry, kingpin clearance, and the small details that matter once you start skating curbs, ledges, and transition every day.
