63MM Black Rain – Rainskates

There is a 63MM version of Rainskates Black Rain wheel in the pipeline with an anticipated release of May-June 2016.

Rainskates has a 63MM follow-up to their popular 60MM Black Rain in the pipeline with an anticipated release of May-June 2016.

Late last year, Rainskates released a pool/park wheel called the Black Rain that was highly-regarded for being fast and grippy. It measures 60MM x 39MM, has a 24MM machine-grooved contact patch and is composed of their 101a Superthane compound.

This larger version of the Black Rain has been anticipated since the original 60MM offering was released. The 63MM version will sport the same graphics, relative dimensions and urethane compound as the 60MM version. We’ll update this post with more information as it becomes available. For now, you can find the 60MM version at link.

Update: Sold out now! Keep an eye out for more information and new releases from Rainskates.

RIII – Randall Trucks

Randall Trucks announced the RIII over the weekend! Completely redesigned from the ground up, they are set to drop April 1st. No Joke!

Randall Trucks announced over the weekend that they’d be releasing the completely redesigned RIII on April 1. That’s roughly two weeks from the time of this writing and since they’re already up on Randall’s website, it seems legit. Randall trucks have been around since the 1970s and have long been one of the standards. Most, if not all, longboarders have ridden or own an RII. The RIII marks an exciting redesign.

New Design Changes for Randall Trucks

The trucks feature a new baseplate with dual mounting holes on both ends for a little adjustment. They also lack the wings found on the RII baseplates, allowing the RIII to be drop-mounted on more boards. The hangers have been redesigned with stronger axles, machined bushing seats and pivot pins.

The bushing seat has also been redesigned and appears to be a lot tighter. The kingpin is now mounted nut side up. New bushings and pivot cups round out the RIII for what will surely be another killer offering from a legend in skate equipment. Grab a set at the link on release day, April 1st!

Under the Sun – STRGHT Longboards

Four years ago we featured STRGHT skateboards and their awesome implementation of design and grip. They’ve only gotten better. New colors on some stylish decks.

Four years ago we featured STRGHT skateboards and their awesome implementation of design and grip. Their intricate patterns complemented the solid construction then and they’ve only gotten better since.

STRGHT has released a new series of decks called Under the Sun and they are stunning. They’ve taken the theme of elaborate patterns, incorporated bright colors and built something really charismatic. The seeds on the Mel are embossed and contribute to grip and detail. The detail of the palms on the Peace Out is a testament to their skill. The bright colors really pop.

We wouldn’t hesitate to cruise on one of these decks and look forward to seeing one pass by. Head over to STRGHT skateboards to pick one up at the link.

Check out the video to see how STRGHT dedicates themselves to crafting the perfect board by hand. Their dedication to skateboard and longboard craft really shows through their decks.

Embryo – Pantheon Longboards

Pantheon Longboards Embryo: 8-plys of Maple shaped to 35” long, 9.8” to 9.3” wide front-to-rear with 4” of wheel-base flexibility beginning at 25”

Pantheon’s Embryo is a slick combination of design and features. A really killer graphic lends to the idea that from the tree comes the deck. Flush mounts, variable wheelbase options and CNC’d wheel wells flush out the bottom. There’s a bit of wheel flare in the front that trails to the rear. Pantheon put their A-Cup concave up front, funnel concave in the rear and two domes in front and rear center.

8-plys of Maple shaped to 35” long, 9.8” to 9.3” wide front-to-rear with 4” of wheel-base flexibility beginning at 25”. Get it at their shop!

Pantheon has been nailing release after release since the Embryo!
