The Rad Disadvantages are gonna get you last in a race heat, but be the MOST fun freeriding with your crew.
Shopping for clearance gear doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality. Take advantage of some of our prebuilt completes only available from Flatspot Longboards.
The rad degenerates are a small sideset freeride wheel custom shaped in house with the same core and urethane you know and love from the Rad Advantage.
What happens to race wheels when they retire? Sometimes they get the loving attention they deserve and are gradually skated into nothing. But sometimes they get left in a box and forgotten. We take those forgotten and spent race wheels and turn them down into freeride wheels so that they can spend the rest of their happy days being shredded down to the core. Adopt a set of refurbished flatspot lathe wheels and know you are giving these little shred balls the gnar home they deserve.
We make these epic centerset freerides by taking scrubbed Biggie Hawgs and cutting off the beef. With the same long lasting urethane and supportive core in the standard Biggies, these are gonna be an exceptionally durable freeride wheel. The Biggie Smalls have a larger contact patch, which makes them ideal if you want to be able to shed speed and still grip lines. And because they are centerset you can flip your wheels and get an even wear all the way down to the core!

The Flatspot Degenerates are made from Rad Advantages that are particularly thrashed. Meaning, we only make a set of Degenerates when we get a set of Advantages that have been skated down to around 65mm. We lathe them down into a small, sideset freeride shape, which are WAY more fun than their previous existence as torched lipped wheels.

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.
