Rocket Longboards – Radigon 31″ – Downhill Skateboard Deck
The Radigon 31″ is perfect for riders who like a short wheelbase but still want a certain width. Because of their large feet or simply because it’s extremely comfortable. Ultra-skinny trucks aren’t the answer here. The sweet spot here is around 130-140 mm. Combined with the short wheelbase, the board is maneuverable and lively, yet still slides when it should. Perfect for a slide session with your buddies. And yet it’s also there when you need to go fast.

Return to the freeride roots
With the Radigon 31″ & Radigon 34″, we want to return to our freeride roots – but with a modern approach. Even though we live and love racing and speed, there are many other facets to longboarding. In our opinion, these have been somewhat neglected in all the viral 100 km/h videos. That’s why we want to give freeriding a new boost and offer modern boards for a more approachable style of skating.
Simple concave but with important details
We deliberately kept the concave of the Radigons simple, but without sacrificing important details. The combination of a mellow elliptical concave with a front-loaded rocker creates what we call a toe wedge concave for the front foot. This locks the foot directly over the truck. The result is perfect power transfer and plenty of control from the front truck. At the rear, there’s a wide, mellow w-concave without much restriction. This allows the back foot to be repositioned as you like while riding.
