Race Wheel Deal

Racing is expensive. After paying for registration, traveling, taking time off work (if you work), and propper gear, its no surpise that DH skaters are total bums. IT AINT CHEAP! So, to alleviate the financial ups and downs of those who choose this wonderful lifestyle, we have decided to ease the pain.

But as it is with all things on the internet, this is going to require a small degree of clarification.

If you come to flatspot with a print out showing that you are either registered for a sactioned race or and IDF member, you will be granted a discount on race wheels!

Proof of registration must have your name and the fact you have paid, and you must have proof that you are YOU (meaning ID).

With registration or IDF membership confirmed, you will be granted 5% off one set, 10% off two sets, or 15% off on three+ sets. Freeride wheels are not included in this sale, but keep posted for freeride promotions later this summer.

This deal will end when the local race season ends.

That brings us to the conclusion of our deal.

Cored Wheel Deal

By bringing back a full set of cored wheels you can get a deal on your next set of freeride wheels. If you plow through urethane it can get expensive, and we get that.

For a wheel to count as a cored wheel it must have its core EXPOSED. None of this faint core line underneath urethane crap. Finish what you started.

That being said, if you do not core all four wheels in a set, you can mix and match. But then you are left with an odd set of wheels afterwards. Its your call. Do you want to do those extra few runs on three cored wheels just to core the last one? Or will you just combine almost dead sets? If you are one of those people who religiously rides one kind of wheel, your consistency will pay off!

If you bring in one set of cored wheels, you  get 10% off.

You can summon the powers of this promotion once a day for one set of wheels. That means that the maximum you can get off on a set of cored wheels in one day is 10%. But if you shralp hard enough, you can do that every day of the year. At which point you should just be sponsored and not even worry about this deal.

Now that box of totally pooched wheels in the garage has some value! Get out there and put your suffering wheels out of their misery. We will accept their corpses, provide a price break in return, and then eventually do something hilarious with the cores. We haven’t decided what that is yet, suggestions would be appreciated.

Wheel Lathing Service

Make wobbly wheels roll true again

Welcome! This is our lathe, and that is a wheel spinning super fast so we can wear it down to be round again.

Using a lathe, we can turn down your coned and flatspotted wheels to make them roll smooth again.

Wheel maintenance is one of our specialties, its one of the main reasons we are called Flatspot Longboard Shop.

Here is a taste of what we do:

Turn your old, coned and chunky race wheels into buttery little freerides! Or just make them roll smoothly again.

There is a great wheel hiding on the insides of every choppy and haggard wheel, it just takes a little coaxing to get them true again.

Resulting in a satisfying smooth slide.

Grip in the rain!

With grooves in your wheels you’ll be able to grip in the rain! This technique is key for longboarding in Vancouver.

The grooves allow for the standing water on the road to escape from bellow the wheels, allowing for more contact with the road.

Resulting in a satisfying lack of hydroplaning.

Here is how it works:

Swing by and drop off your wheels at flatspot (sorry, we don’t accept shipping for this service).

Your name and email are taken down, which will be kept confidential.

IT WILL TAKE 3-10 BUSINESS DAYS TO LATHE YOUR WHEELS. There is often a line-up, and it cannot be done on the spot.

Then tiny elves run around feverishly rubbing your wheels on any available concrete while they all sing in unison and perfect iambic pentameter about the wonders of urethane, until the wheels are the shape you want them. At which point they all get back to the dirty machine we keep them in. Little buggers.
