Designed and ridden by team rider Charlie Darragh, the Charlie Horse has everything a simple downhill oriented topmount should have. Deep CNC-cut wheel wells for maximum clearance, multiple wheelbase options to get dialed in your freeride, and the perfect amount of concave with subtle W for maximum performance. If that’s not enough for you, the Hollowtech core keeps the Charlie Horse light as a pony but strong as a Clydesdale. This version features a wider, 9.5″ deck for those of you who like a little more room under your feet.

Imagine if a brick wall learned how to skate downhill and freeride really well. Well now you don’t have to, because it exists. Laine plows through wheels, these tracers didn’t even make it down one run on tuna! Although he destroys hills, laine is one of the more gentle and generous skaters around. Chivalry is not dead!

The Omen Sugar boils down some of the most basic aspects of what makes a freeride board good and blends them into a carefully balanced meal of radness. Start with a solid rocker, add some flares for clearance, flushmounts to not overpower the flavour of your trucks, and finish off with a kicktail. Gangster graphic as garnish adds a nice visual touch. Voila, a culinary masterpiece! Cutthroat kitchen would get dominated by Omen if they were to somehow come together.
To really make this deck a full course here is the soup of the day and a salad to go with it.
Zealous downhill Ceramic precision Spaced longboard Bearings
Ceramic Balls
-Ceramic balls are lighter, stiffer, smoother and naturally corrosion resistant. This means we can use a lower viscosity lubricant which makes them fast right out of the tube.
– Precision 8mm axle holes
– .4045″ built in spacers
– .5mm built in speedrings
– Strengthened Nylon Ball Retainers
– White rubber seals to keep dirt and debris on the outside of the bearing.
– Lubed with Custom Nanoceramic Grease
-The unique feature of our lubricant is how the nanoceramic compound fills in deformations or asperities in the bearing. These deformations cause friction and heat around them which hardens the nano-ceramic compound to that specific area. This micro coating is 5 times the hardness of the host alloy and has a molecular bond with the host metal, filling in all the asperities and eliminating friction over time.
-The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities.
-Corrosion on the inside of the bearing is nearly eliminated.
Sold in sets of 8 bearings.
The Dubes is made with the Wrocker mold. The Wrocker mold offers a smooth, tapering W throughout the center of the board and transitions to a deep radial concave extending to the rails. It has a fair amount of rocker that offers a locked-in footing for your Bombing, Racing and DH Freeride. This mold is stable from turn to turn, eliminating roll over and increasing high speed control.
