DB Longboards recently introduced their 2016 lineup featuring new graphics, construction and shapes. It’s a healthy offering of four new shapes with styles for multiple disciplines.

CoreFlex Technology

They’ve developed a new type of construction they call The CoreFlex which was built with the perfect flex pattern in mind. The Compound incorporates this new construction by combining cambered bamboo sandwiched between layers of fiberglass and a high-density material for high performance freestyle and carving. 3 different offerings are available with various levels of flex.

Longboard Styles: DB Longboards

The Contra is a new top-mount, slightly dropped tub focused on DH and Freeride. Comes in two flavors at 35.5″ and 38.5″ lengths. The Paradigm is a drop-through at 41″ with the same interests.

The Single Speed comes in at 40.5″ and cares not about discipline. Freeride, Dance or carve, it just wants to skate.

New graphics are done in-house by DB and with good taste. The vivid reds and rich blues accompany a futuristic scene on the classic lunch tray. DB really showed up for 2016. Check out their lineup and grab one of the new decks at the link.

63MM Black Rain – Rainskates

There is a 63MM version of Rainskates Black Rain wheel in the pipeline with an anticipated release of May-June 2016.

Rainskates has a 63MM follow-up to their popular 60MM Black Rain in the pipeline with an anticipated release of May-June 2016.

Late last year, Rainskates released a pool/park wheel called the Black Rain that was highly-regarded for being fast and grippy. It measures 60MM x 39MM, has a 24MM machine-grooved contact patch and is composed of their 101a Superthane compound.

This larger version of the Black Rain has been anticipated since the original 60MM offering was released. The 63MM version will sport the same graphics, relative dimensions and urethane compound as the 60MM version. We’ll update this post with more information as it becomes available. For now, you can find the 60MM version at link.

Update: Sold out now! Keep an eye out for more information and new releases from Rainskates.

Randall Trucks announced over the weekend that they’d be releasing the completely redesigned RIII on April 1. That’s roughly two weeks from the time of this writing and since they’re already up on Randall’s website, it seems legit. Randall trucks have been around since the 1970s and have long been one of the standards. Most, if not all, longboarders have ridden or own an RII. The RIII marks an exciting redesign.

New Design Changes for Randall Trucks

The trucks feature a new baseplate with dual mounting holes on both ends for a little adjustment. They also lack the wings found on the RII baseplates, allowing the RIII to be drop-mounted on more boards. The hangers have been redesigned with stronger axles, machined bushing seats and pivot pins.

The bushing seat has also been redesigned and appears to be a lot tighter. The kingpin is now mounted nut side up. New bushings and pivot cups round out the RIII for what will surely be another killer offering from a legend in skate equipment. Grab a set at the link on release day, April 1st!
