Orangatang – Onsens – 58mm/100a

Tired of the swings? Big kids won’t let you on the slide? Be the Queen (or King — we’re not judging…) of your local park. The Orangatang Onsen park wheels continue to blend the boundaries of traditional skateboarding, park riding, and longboarding. Designed for park riding in particular, this proprietary new formula, core design, and shape were created to find that perfect balance between grip and slip. Grippy enough to hold high lines in the bowl, but slidey enough for predictable speed checks and recoveries from sketchy scenarios. The Onsens are poured in a new Orangatang formula: Perky Thane. Fast, smooth, grippy, and durable. Flat spot resistant. The color of the wheels is extracted from the bathwater of Japanese businessmen, making the Onsens ideal for park and pool skating. Strong yet compliant cores enhance wear characteristics and increase roll speed even further. The clean, rounded lips keep you safe from hangups on the coping, and our unique sanded finish means the Onsens are pre-broken in and ready to rip, right out of the box.

Longboard Larry – Minitee – Complete (Flatspot Build)

The Longboard Larry Minitee was at the forefront of the rising popularity of small speed stiff topmounts, a trend that ripples on today. And its just as epic as it ever was!

The Longboard Larry Minitee is a result of the trend towards smaller wheelbase topmounts. First there was the Manatee/Sea Cow, later came the Minitee/Sea Calf. This board is directional, and loaded with Fibreglass and to ensure a rock solid ride, wrapped around Bamboo and Birch to ensure that comfy vibration dampening of wood. Every board from Larrys workshop is made with care and love, something that can only come from a small facility like his.

Sector 9 – Carbon Flight – Complete (Flatspot Build)

The Sector 9 Carbon Flight is an incredible light and stiff topmount board. Its an affordable testament to the wonders of building with carbon fibre!

There are only two words to describe the Sector 9 Carbon Flight: Light and Stiff. With a traditional S9 tub concave, this topmount gets great leverage and is more than rigid enough for downhill and freeride. Set up with Rad Feathers you wont have to worry about wheel bite without a riser (also means you get a free rad trucker hat!). If you are looking to get into longboarding this an amazing starting place. The simplicity of the deck’s designs means you can play around with adding gas pedals and w-concave wherever you want to really get a sense of what works for you.

Comet – Takeover (Chop Lord) – Complete (Flatspot Build)

This isn’t an ordinary Comet TakeOver. This one has been chopped/upgraded/modified by Max Capps to be thinner, with more mounting options and overall more rad.

The Comet TakeOver is an ideal board for modification and chopping. It has a lovely continuous tub concave combined with just the right amount of rocker. Its also great for mods because its huge. Its a big canvas to work with! You might ask yourself why this set up is so very red. Because red is fast. Why is red fast? No idea, it just is. But while we are on the topic of red – the Rad Feathers in this set up come with a free Rad Trucker hat!

Bustin – Boombox TG – Complete (Flatspot Build)

Boombox ThermoGlass

Everyone asked for a smaller Boombox and we came through in a major way. The new 38” Boombox is more trickable and all around more lively. Constructed with our new ThermoGlass layup featuring four individual layers of recyclable fiberglass heat melded with sustainably harvested Great Lakes Maple.

CONSTRUCTION

The ThermoGlass construction is our revolutionary new process for creating stronger, lighter and more eco-friendly decks right here in the USA. We start with 3 plys of Great Lakes Maple and lay them up with a proprietary thermo-active formula along with several layers of fiberglass cloth. The sandwich is then placed in an ultra high-heat, high-pressure press where the panels undergo a transformation process that essentially melds all of the plies together into one new material that can only be dismantled using the same amount of heat. The result is a nearly indestructible board made using no harmful glues or resins.
