Mass-produced, machine-run, identical boards sitting in a factory while hands pick them up, slide them into boxes and mindlessly ship them out to those at home, eager to get out and practice the same tricks, the same roads, the same races. Primate wants none of that. Primate Longboards specializes in unique. With their hand-crafted graphics and charred top-sheets, each one of the longboards in the Primate line-up is perfectly unique, different from every other board.
This time, Primate introduces to you the Gin series; a fun-oriented group of longboards that really digs back into the roots of longboarding: flowing, carving and cruising around the neighborhood on beautiful, hand-crafted longboards.
The Gin series is comprised of three shapes . Each deck is made completely by hand with unique and individual character, guaranteed to be one of a kind. Construction features 5 Baltic Birch Plys and water-based, environmentally friendly sealers. All wood waste from the production of these decks are reclaimed and reused in other applications. The three options measure as follows:
Prices for completes range from $205 – 235 and ship with your option of Caliber Trucks and Blood Orange Wheels. Based out of South Dakota with an emphasis on the environment, they’ll donate $3 to the Habitat for Hummanity World Wildlife Federation for every board purchased.

The Natty is the fifth and latest graphic in the Artist series from Speedlab Wheels. Made in part to recognize their four-legger & shop dog Natty, Speedlab is also graciously donating 10% of all proceeds from the sale of this wheel to the ASPCA.
Like the third entry in the Artist Series, the Natty graphic was created by Brandon Marsh using the likeness of Natty from a photo. The wheels measure 61mm tall with a 28mm contact patch and are poured in Speedlabs 99a ‘thane.

Rayne is out to make the most thaney, long-lasting wheel ever with their new “Round 1” Prototypes. Working closely with the factory has allowed them to refine a ‘thane that is buttery smooth with lots of control. The Round 1s are a limited run released with the intention of showcasing some of the urethane formulas they are working on.
These 65mm wheels are quick, compact and totally shreddable. They’re poured in a classic freeride shape; round lips, a mid-sized, stone-ground contact patch of 47 mm, and an encapsulated core for fast acceleration. They’re a soft 75a, which is unique for a freeride wheel, but that just means that there’s going to be a lot of urethane trails. The formula is rumored to be awesome durability, and that attribute will continue to be a hallmark of the new Rayne wheel formula for future versions as well.

The 2016 Subsonic Vega from Subsonic includes new features and updates that make this long-standing staple of their lineup even better. The original Vega was designed with veteran and professional downhill racer Chip Wood. Chip was fond of radial concave and rocker in his decks, and the Vega stays true to those sentiments.
