Skate accessory since long gone...
What did you call the device (in the 70s and 80's) you put in front of the rear truck to help you ride up a sidewalk (prior to the ollie) and that would also protect the truck?

Wasn't there one called a "coper?"Jani Soderhall wrote:Lapper is the name I recognize, but it wouldn't mean anything to someone who's not a skater. I'm looking for a more descriptive term.
No, I don't need one. I'm just doing a translation from French to English.

I remember two kinds. One was a strap of plastic that was put on the king pin and then screwed into the deck in front of the truck.
The other looked like a skeg mounted on the deck and made sort of a fairing in front of the truck so the truck wouldn't hang on the concrete coping.

This is exactly the kind of device I was thinking of.
That photo is a classic (at least for us Swedes). I never like that board, it's one of the ugliest, but it's definitely one for the history books. Maybe it's one of the first "longboards"?
Check out the axle extenders!
And the double "lapper"!
Thanks Toby!
