DTC Wheels Ray Setae Side Ribbed

Ray Setae – DTC Wheels

Ray Setae from DTC builds on their Victory Concept – Big Core, Wide Contact Patch.

Want more grip? Welcome to the Ray Setae from DTC.  Established in 2006, DTC has steadily raised the bar with each of their new releases. Many of their products are ahead of the game by years. They’re revered for high-quality and their unflinching commitment to performance. Known as trailblazers of urethane and unique shapes, they definitely live up to the reputation.

The Ray Setae is a wheel built for grip. Over two years of development went into refining it towards that goal. They built on their already well known Victory concept of a big core with a wide contact patch and super-sized it. The result is a full 66mm of contact patch on a 71mm tall wheel. It doesn’t stop there though. These wheels incorporate other traction improvements as well.

4 fully supported lips provide extra surface area and keep you straight. The core is precision machined in house and designed to evenly support the entire wheel, ensuring even weight distribution and wear. The core is also offset. The Setae features DTCs speciality ‘thane, lasting 10-15x longer than others on the market. They’re not meant to be worn down like any other wheel; they’re meant to be kept skinned or scrubbed, used for Maryhill and long, winding grip courses.

Lastly, you may notice the ribs on the wheel. One of the most unique features of the Setae, they are designed to smooth out and keep you stable on the chunder. Novel idea.

The Ray Setae is 72mm in width and 71mm in diameter, and boasts a large contact patch of 66mm (split into two sections of 33mm). It also features 4 supported lips: 2 on the outside, and 2 on the inside. Hit the link to visit DTC and pick up a set!

Sho Stopper & Sellout – Valhalla

New hotness from Valhalla are the Sho Stopper and Sellout.

Tonight, we dine in Valhalla!

Valhalla has been known to make some of the gnarliest looking boards ever. Their sleek designs and cnc’d wheel wells are some of the most notorious and dangerously mischievious things to come by in the longboard scene. With their unique but pragmatic shapes like the black dolphin and the master blaster, Valhalla sits under the feet of hundreds of incredible skaters. But of course, it’s Valhalla and Alex Ameen and he wanted more.

This time around, Valhalla releases two pro-models, both totally unique and guaranteed to be shapes that you have never seen before. One’s a downhill pintail shape, something that’s gone obsolete from today’s market, but was once a classic staple. Another’s an innovative cutout deck that rivals the most advanced cutout decks available on the market.

Introducing the Valhalla Sellout and Sho Stopper.

The Valhalla Sellout is one sexy board. It’s a chopped pintail shape, completely speed stiff and features Valhalla’s signature mellow concave featuring 0.666 inches of concave and rocker, with a good serving of W concave in the back for maximum grip. There’s a standard half-inch of taper and a set of some of Valhalla’s unique wheel wells to show off.

 The Sho Stopper is Sho Oullette’s pro-model board. This has been in development for a while now, but now it’s out there for all of you to enjoy! This deck features Valhalla’s standard 0.666 concave. However, this board is unique in the Valhalla line because it’s symmetrical, and it’s Valhalla’s current premier cutout deck. So for those wanting to run huge wheels without risers, this is the one for you.

Check here for details at Valhalla and hit the to scoop one up while they’re still available!

Atlas – Dasilva Boards

New from the Hippies at Dasilva, the Atlas. Go fast downhills or cruise or hit the park. You can do it all.

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!
