If you love carving, sliding or you are curious about precision trucks but have been hesitant because of price, then I can confidently say that you should give these a try
If you’re new to the longboarding scene there is a good chance you haven’t heard of Iliffe trucks. Iliffe Trucks, owned by Bill Illife, had a strong presence in the longboarding scene starting in 2012. Over time though, as we all know life can interrupt skating, and for the last few years, Bill has kept things low-key when it comes to Iliffe trucks. Now Bill is ready to get back to it and get Iliffe trucks on everyone’s radar again.
Five years ago, Voxel entered the longboarding scene determined to make high quality products and bring their vision to the community. They’ve made leaps and bounds in those 5 years – from two workbenches at home in to a 10×30 mini factory in present day. They’re now setting the tone for the integration of technology into the manufacturing process with 3D printing.
We last spoke with Voxel in 2017 when they released the 3310. Even then, Voxel understood the importance of iterating until things were right – they made five molds before they got the 3310 just right. Now, you can see how they’ve incorporated rapid-prototyping and iteration into their products.
2021 has been a banger of a year for Voxel and as the winter approaches they’re more ready than ever. Read on for our interview with Voxel and what they’ve been up to this year.
Surf Rodz Grindz are precision manufactured traditional kingpin (TKP) trucks that come in a variety of sizes to suit both street skateboarding and longboarding disciplines.
These trucks are my favorite TKPs to ride because of their versatility and durability. One of the best features of these trucks is that all the parts are interchangeable and replaceable making them ideal for street skating.
The Great Longboard GooseChase organizers strove to show that even in one of the most unprecedented times in history, it’s still possible to grow a community, make new friends, and support each other.
The Great Longboard GooseChase was an event created with one simple goal, to bring the skateboarding community together during this pandemic.
Hosted by Skate IDSA (International Distance and Supercross Association) and officiated by LDP Cast with the help of various sponsors, this virtual scavenger hunt connected over 900individual skaters together from 20countries to promote inclusiveness, raise awareness for mental health and to get out and skate safely.
Proceeds from this challenge went to the charity, the Brain and Behavioral Research Organization. Their mission is to lessen the suffering that is associated with mental illness. They do so by awarding grants and funding to mental health and addiction research. If you would like to donate to this cause you can do so here.
Sanctum Collective is well known for some of their boards. Most notable are the Choomah that we covered back in 2017 and the Stratos that we reviewed in 2018. While their boards were wildly popular, you might be surprised to learn that they haven’t been available for sale for a while. Unfortunate as that may be, we have some good news…
There is a limited quantity of Sanctum boards available for sale in our store at massive discount with free shipping.
