Skipjack – Speedlab Wheels

Speedlab Wheels dropped the Skipjack, the fourth entry in their artist series. Proceeds go to #speedlabsupporter Brad in his fight against Lymphoma!

The Skipjack is the fourth and latest entry in the artist series from Speedlab Wheels. It is inspired by #speedlabsupporter Brad Morse’s battle with Lymphoma and Speedlab will donate 100% of the proceeds from this wheel to help Brad and his family in their fight. 

Brad’s friend and artist Fil Lapointe designed the artwork for the Skipjack to embody Brad’s likeness. The Skipjack is a classic profile, measures 61MM tall with a 28MM contact patch and is poured in 99A durometer urethane.

Grab a set of these wheels at the link to support Brad and send a shoutout to Speedlab for their support of the community!

2016 Lineup – Free Wheel Co.

The 2016 lineup from Free Wheel Company is here with new thane and new shapes. Wheels are currently available on their site and in transit to local shops.

Free Wheel Company’s 2016 lineup introduces two new urethane formulas and four wheels. Do you want the spoiler? They’re worth a look.

The Wheels

The Dumbs V2 and the Willies feature stone-ground surfaces, center-set cores and asymmetrical lips. They are poured in the new Gold Standard formula, a translucent yellow urethane with controlled slides and flat-spot resistance in mind. The Dumbs are slightly shorter than the Willies but feature a wider contact patch. Both are 78a durometer.

The Free Ranges are poured in the Platinum Plus formula, feature a stone-ground surface, center-set core and are intended for the city commuter. Soft 78a durometer keeps you rolling and the small 60mm size means they’re nimble & popsicle friendly.

The Free Spirits are a square lipped wheel poured in the Platinum Plus formula with an emphasis on grip, durability and consistency. The thick, square lips, wide contact patch and near center set core make them well suited for freerides and drifts.

The new wheels are currently available for purchase from the Omen Longboards site and are in transit to local shops. Grab some at the link.
