Danny Smith is the epitome of the Vancouver urban skater. He lives off pizza and beer, skates a local spot basically every night (when he isn’t broke off), and slays parkades. Born and bred in the DTES, Danny is almost completely nocturnal and takes great pride in looking after his pet rats. He is also our main Lathe technician. So if you get any of our dank custom Lathe Wheels, he most likely made them
Troy Grenier lives and breathes Coast Longboarding. He has been on more Cribb Bomb trips than most and is a master of the open road. As for his skating, it speaks for itself. Parks, hills ditches or your driveway, he will slay it. If troy is hitting up an event, expect to see him on the podium. Few are more determined to dominate.

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!
You should also check out this saltspring raw run with Alex “Bad Decisions” Ameen!
Flatspot team rider Troy Yardwaste lays down a massive and stupidly fast manual long enough to earn its own raw run!
Troy Grenier has been killing it in BC for years and we are stoked to announce he is now part of the Flatspot Family!
Dave rocks a board bigger than most downhill boards and makes it look puny at the vancouver plaza skatepark.

Pantheon Longboards – Supersonic Bamboo LDP Longboard – Distance Push Deck
See the description tab below the product images for detailed setup information.
If you already have experience with our Supersonic model longboard, this is the next rendition. For now, we will distinguish this bamboo core Supersonic by calling it the Supersonic Bamboo, but after loads of testing, this is the expected ultimate future of this board. We just still have plenty of maple decks on hand, so these will also be offered alongside them until they’re gone.
The deck features a mild camber between the drops and incredibly tight curvature, considering the required curves necessary to make this geometry work. And we integrate very mild versions of our crescent drops in all curvature points (even the down-curve of the de-wedged back end!) on this deck, making them stronger than boards of the past and allowing us to control where the board flexes. Our concave is mellow, as it should be, so that you’re comfortable no matter what distance you’re skating. But the curves are subtle and strong, and there are no true flat spots on the board anywhere, resulting in superb board feel.
