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 – Andy Atchison Pro Model – Tortuga Deck
The Andy Atch Pro Model is here! If you remember the “Summit Series Tortuga,” consider this a more affordable but every bit as capable version of the same board. While many downhill racers are throwing torque blocks on their boards, the Andy Atch Pro sets you up with this excellent tucking mechanism within the design of the board.
SPECS
Length: 32″
Width: 8.5″ front bolts, 8.25″ back bolts, 9.125″ max width
Wheelbase: 20″ – 23″
Powell Peralta – Bones Brigade Series 15 Mike McGill – Mixed Colors
Shape: SP3 277
Width: 9.90
Length: 30.58
Nose: 4.13
Wheelbase: 15.2
Tail: 6.2
Series 15 is a mixed colored set. Three of the decks are stained (Mullen, Hawk and Guerrero) and three are opaque paint (Mountain, McGill and Caballero). Much like our Powell-Peralta Classic stained decks, opacity of the stain will vary. Each deck will be completely unique due to the staining process and the natural variance in wood grain in the veneer. Each deck may not match image representation exactly.
Each deck has a sequentially numbered sticker, and will include a postcard.

Somewhat wider than most wheels of their height, and with a slightly offset bearing seat, the 58mm by 37mm Boosters offer breakthrough performance for modern pool and park skating. Poured with the world’s most advanced no-flatspot formula, and machine-ground for that perfect broken-in feeling. Great for hard-wheel sliding, too!
