SK – Wasabi Wheels

Out of the Alicante comes Wasabi Wheels with the production of their new SK wheel. The wheels are made by hand in Spain and reflect extensive prototyping and testing from the team. Wasabi started production near mid July and the wheels currently available on request.

Wasabi’s 80a Greenthane provides a smooth and controlled ride with great balance between grip and slide. The SK’s are center set with a nearly 40MM diameter core and 11MM tall square lip. They measure 70MM tall and 50MM wide.

The wheels are not currently carried by a distributor but hit up Wasabi at the link to grab a set!

Choice Keggers - Venom Keg

The Keg – Venom Bushings

Interested in more about Venom and their products? Check out our History of the Venom Cannibal, where we chronicle the evolution of some of the community’s favorite wheels.

Looking for some lean? Venom’s got it in The Keg! Venom Bushings just dropped a new shape for trucks that accept tall bushings. Similar to a stepped bushing in that they’re designed to give more progressive resistance and rebound than a barrel but they improve on the idea by eliminating the “hard-stop”. The shape still fits in most bushing seats thanks to the curved side profiles. They’re poured in the HPF formula and measure .75″ tall.

Venom recommends using them board-side for a softer setup that doesn’t sacrifice stability. We find these bushings very affordable and great for beginner longboarders. Learn more about why stability is important in buying a new longboard with our beginner’s guide to picking your first longboard.

Available now at Muir Skate & Amazon, grab a set at the link!

Who says bushings have to be boring? If you’ve thrown these on one of your completes, show us on IG! We’re looking for great shots of these bushings and other Venom gear you’re riding. Hit us up!

Rayne Vendetta V3 Promo

Vendetta V3 – Rayne Longboards

Looking to freeride, pump, cruise or maybe even some light downhill all on one deck? The Vendetta is Rayne’s solution for riders who want a little of it all. It’s drop-through truck mounts and low standing platform make it an all around performer and this year Rayne’s 2016 Vendetta V3 builds on the success of the original Vendetta by adding new features and a fresh look.

 

Its an inch shorter at 39″ and shaves a quarter-inch from the width at 9.75″ while maintaining the same 30″ wheelbase. Rayne’s Fat-Bottom construction is new along with some rocker and a .75″ micro radial drop. The fat-bottom prevents wheelbite and maintains rigidity with less material through the length of the board. The rocker and micro radial drop keep you in position, stable and aware of foot placement.

 

Rayne has baked in all the features from the original, including sharp edges, vertically laminated bamboo core, pre-tensioned fiberglass, leverage concave, firm flex, sublimated artwork and the environmentally friendly Bee Orange finish. The Vendetta ships with Atlas Ultralight trucks, Rayne Envy 70MM wheels and Vicious Griptape. Pick up a complete at the link!
