Hurtle Skateboards Stained Maple Deck
by Ryan Lee

Stained Maple – Hurtle Skateboards

Hurtle’s back in a new artist collaboration – the Stained Maple deck. Brad Mallet, DysfunctionalSoldier and Hurtle came together to produce this shreddable art.

Hurtle boards are made either in limited runs or as special one offs. There is no mass production going on in their workshop. Each deck is individually pressed and hand shaped to get every detail as close to perfect as possible. The new Stained Maple deck is a product of Brad Mallett and DysfunctionalSoldier‘s creativity, combined with Hurtle’s skill. They’ve done a handful of artist collaborations previously, each with their own unique twist and this latest piece is no exception.

This deck is one of the most crisp, minimalist and appealing designs we’ve ever seen. The artwork has been burned into the deck using a laser etching process, creating absolutely explosive results. Hurtle views these collaborations as opportunities to push the envelope aesthetically while producing truly exclusive, artistic decks. Make no mistake though, Hurtle’s work can still shred after the picturesque photo-shoots.

Slide A – Earthwing

It’s the end of an era for these awesome tech-sliding wheels. Earthing Slide As are heading out.

The Earthwing Slide As are nearing the end of their product life due to high manufacturing costs. Current stock is the last that will be available.

The Slide As have been around since 2006 and are highly regarded as one of the best technical slide wheels. Predictable release, fast low-friction slides, and clean hook ups are characteristic of what you’ll hear from riders.

Available in 62MM or 65MM sizes with offset cores and rounded lips; they only come in one durometer, 58d. Both sizes feature a width of 39MM with 24MM contact patches.
