Dasilva Atlas Float

Atlas – Dasilva Boards

Dasilva Boards Emporium of Skatitude is primed to drop a new multi-function rocket, the Atlas. It’s a directional, downhill/freeride board with a kick and the curves you’ve come to love from Dasilva!

You may recognize these lines, the Aldous and Atlas are created in the same mold. You’ll find the familiar tub concave that gets steeper in the center, keeping you locked in and aware of your position on the board. Flares are molded in, there’s no material removed after the press. You don’t have to worry about reduced structural integrity or water-entering the board. Much like it’s Atlas brother, the concave follows through into a single kick, cupping your back foot just right.

Construction consists of a Finnish Birch core wrapped in multi-axial fiberglass and carbon fiber. The combination of these materials mean the Atlas stays light but solid. You can hit the park, the streets or bomb a hill and it will feel at home during it all.

The Atlas measures:

  • Length: 38″
  • Width: 9.65″
  • Wheelbase: 24 – 26″ in 1″ increments

Dasilva just added the update to their store. Hit the link and cop an Atlas!

It’s time to familiarize yourself with King Lui boards. They’re a regional board manufacturer born from the elevation in the Allgaue Alps, Germany. They emphasize home and high-quality in their boards and it’s apparent in every finished product. Their new directional, downhill deck the Schindluader is no exception.

Input from every team rider and countless revisions went into the creation of the Schindluader. The board measures 35.5″ (90.5cm) with a tapered width beginning at 9.8″ (25cm) up front and narrowing to 9.4″ (24cm) out back. There are three wheel base options at 26.3″, 27.3″ and 28.3″ (67, 69.5 and 72cm, respectively). Micro drop, slightly more than 1/2″ of W concave, wheel wells and flares keep you locked in and aware of your foot position on the board. Construction features 6 plys of locally acquired Ash with fiberglass and epoxy to create a stuff flex. All of the above and the Schindluader weighs in at approximately 2000g or approximately 4.4 pounds. A final Rosewood veneer on the bottom ties in the performance and the aesthetics on this deck.

Holesom Special / Loaf Over Under

Special / Loaf – Holesom

Holesom has been in the game since 2009. They’re the archetype of a company who remembers that it’s about having fun going down hills. Their unique style gives that sexy, ambient kind of vibe and it’s translated well into the updated versions of their Special and Loaf decks.

The Special was predominantly designed by rider Jordan Hessler in it’s original form. The update is a directional freeride deck designed around rocker and mellow flares, measuring 33 7/8″ long by 8 5/8″ wide at the trucks and 9 5/8″ wide at the waist. It features 1/2″ of concave throughout with some W running from halfway to the back. This creates a super comfortable board for pushing around and doing downhill; your front foot is comfortable but definitely doesn’t have its bubble burst at any point. It offers 3 variable wheelbase options in 1″ increments from 24-26″.

The original Loaf is an extended version of the Biscuit, a derivative of the Holesom owner’s surfboard. The new loaf has been upgraded to a hardrock maple construction and is fitted with some awesome spoon-concave kicktails! It measures 39.5″ long by 9.5″ at its widest point, tapering off to a skinnier 8.75″ near the ends. It also offers 3 variable wheelbase options in 1″ increments from 24-26″ and features a nose spoon micro-kick, mellow flares and 1/2″ of concave with a W running to the tail out back. With a good setup, this board will become your freeride bread and butter!

These updates represent hours of testing and refinement by team riders Gustavo Mello and Antonio Moscatelli. Want to ride with a smile? Hit the link to keep it Holesome and pick up one of these new decks.

Nice-Trucks 170MM Lineup

170MM Hanger – Nice-Trucks

Nice-Trucks is a manufacturer of precision downhill trucks based out of Ingelheim, Germany. They recently added a new 170MM hanger to their already versatile lineup. The combination of established design and geometry with a more narrow axle width means these hangers have more grip with the same overall handling characteristics.

While performance is the focus, Nice hasn’t forgotten about appearance either. The hangers are available in anodized Red, Blue and Yellow and feature aesthetically pleasing relief cuts. The trucks weigh in at 230g and measure 265MM wide, 65MM tall and 18MM thick. A removable, spherical bearing in the bushing seat allows the rider to choose between holeshot precision or surf-style carving. The hangers are also flippable and feature a 3MM rake so riders can choose how progressive they like their turning.
