Some quick footage and feedback from riding the G-Slides gets us excited about our next ride. They’re smooth on a cruise, smooth in a slide, and looking sexy as hell! We love putting in the work while we ride but it’s nice to be able to ride for longer since we don’t have to push as much as we’re used to.

Berserker – Temper Boards

Temper Boards updated Bersker for 2016 loses the notches in the waist and receives an updated graphic.

Temper Boards is back with the 2016 Berserker. Named after the Viking warriors, the Berserker was built with freeride in mind and is fully prepared to tackle anything.

Construction features 9 plys of Baltic Birch and 4 plys of fiberglass. An additional 6 plys of carbon fiber wrap the symmetrical nose/tail for extra durability. For 2016, Temper changed from a stepped waist to a curve that provides a little more foot platform near the ends. It measures 43″ long by 10.3″ wide, 9.5″ at the waist. Tails on either end of the truck mounts make it a great option for dancing or busting out a trick. The W concave and slight rocker keep you locked in while new graphics round out the color-coordinated appeal.

The Berserker ships with Orangatang Durian 83a wheels and 180MM 50° Paris trucks. Available in Buglaria and for shipping at the link!

The Hive – Remember Collective

The 2016 Hive from Remember Collective. Grab one at the link!

The Remember Collective has a reputation for putting out well-priced, affordable longboarding accessories and parts at above-decent quality. From their Hoots series wheels to their downhill Savannah Slammas, their product line has always been focused on fun and utility rather than brand-boosting and profit.

New for 2016 from Remember Collective is the Hive 36. It’s 9.5 inches wide, 36 inches long, and has a variable wheelbase all the way from 23 inches to 27.25 inches. Designed by Nick Li, the Hive features a short-stance-friendly standing platform at 20″ between the flares. It’s awesome as a sensitive, snappy freerider board but also as a versatile technical downhill board.

It has subtle wheel flares for you to dig your feet into and a .75″ of rocker to keep those legs straight for standies. Mild W concave to support your arches, double wheel wells to prevent the bite. Flush mounts 1/8″ deep or just about 2-plys worth of the 8-ply Maple construction.

Hit the link to pick one up and take it out for a ride!

III Beam
by LNV

Triple Beam – Landyachtz

The high-end Landyatchz Triple Beam will be available in small quantities from select international retailers tomorrow. Get ready!

The Landyatchz Triple Beam is a high-end composite speedboard manufactured by hand in small quantities. Previous offerings have sold out quick but tomorrow, Thursday the 25th they will be available for sale from select international retailers that sell Landyachtz longboards.

Origins of the Triple Beam

Born of Dillion Stephen’s vision, the Triple Beam is a product of innovative design and function. It represents 32 months and 1,000 hours of development, 9 prototypes and 25 races in over 20 countries. It was built to address the force and energy exerted on a skateboard while traveling at high speeds. By eliminating torsional flex and retaining an optimal amount of vibration dampening, the result is a stiff, smooth and predictable ride.

Triple Beam Construction

Triple Beams are constructed from balsa wood, foam, polyurethane and carbon. The unique composition results in an extremely light weight board at 3lbs (1,380g). The inner skeletal frame is made using carbon fiber injected with urethane foam while the exterior is fully wrapped in carbon. Urethane bumpers in the nose and tail protect the deck from light crashes. Dampening and reduced road vibration are provided by the balsa wood truck mounts.

The symmetrical shape measures 36.5″ long by 10″ wide (9.5″ at the waist) with wheelbase options from 28.5 – 29.5″. Features include a 0.5″ micro drop, mild rocker, W concave, molded radial drops and molded wheel wells.
