Ahmyo Proto Groupies

Protos – Ahmyo

Ahmyo has been a staple in the community of longboarding wheel manufacturer’s since their first public release in 2014. Well known for their Higher Learning Series, Ahmyo’s wheels accelerate fast while perfectly blending the line between grip and slip. Despite their stellar lineup, the community has been craving a freeride wheel; These Protos are Ahmyo’s answer and it couldn’t have been any better.

Ahmyo is offering the community an opportunity to ride, test and contribute to the perfect shape. The Protos are a limited-release, centerset freeride shape measuring 72MM tall and 48MM wide in an 81a durometer. They’re rounded and grounded from the factory and poured in Ahmhyo’s already well-known urethane formula.

Bastl Boards Bolero

Bolero – Bastl Boards

Importing boards to Europe is a thing of the past! Bastl boards is the local board company of your dreams, if you’re in Germany. Bastl Boards is a boardmaker based out of Leipzig, Germany, notorious for making top-notch dancer boards out of unique materials that you can’t find in many other board constructions. This time, they made a quick, nimble 40-incher freestyle deck that rivals the classics!

Introducing the Bolero; a 42.5 inch freestyle legend dead ringer. Featuring supple 3D twin kicktails and wheel flares, the shape of this board is perfect for doing the steps and twirlies all the while keeping open the possibility of doing small, quick boardslides and some introductory freeride. The concave is mellow, reaching 1 cm deep at the deepest point.

Bastl Boards Design & Construction

The construction of this board is unique in that it uses a combination of carbon stringers and a ply of organic basalt as the top and bottom ply. This creates a super unique flex pattern that’s friendly and consistent for boardwalking and freestyle. It also doesn’t lose its spring over a period of time.

If you’re looking for a do-everything cruiser/freestyle hybrid, the new Bastl Boards Bolero is the board for you! Hit the link and grab yours today!

Prism Skate Co

2016 Collection – Prism Longboards

They’re back, and they’re epic.

Around a year ago, there was a reform in the skate scene. Some of the most legendary riders from all over, scattered across the map with different companies and initiatives each, one by one, started to drop their companies and joined a mysterious name: Prism.

What was Prism? Were they a board company? Were they a lifestyle company? Were they just a name that they all decided to compete under? No, Prism was all of these things.

Some quick footage and feedback from riding the G-Slides gets us excited about our next ride. They’re smooth on a cruise, smooth in a slide, and looking sexy as hell! We love putting in the work while we ride but it’s nice to be able to ride for longer since we don’t have to push as much as we’re used to.

Seismic Skate Updated Tekton Bearings

Seismic Skate Tekton Update

Seismic’s Tekton bearings have long been a staple in both engineering and technology for skate bearings. Their self aligning design accommodates and corrects for irregularities in the bearing seat and the axles. The Tekton update improves the design with larger flanges, improved dust resistance and a colorized integrated spacer for extra style!

Developing Seismic’s Tekton Bearings

More than two years of development went into the Tekton bearings. Wide, flat contact surfaces on the integrated spacers align and stabilize the bearings inside the wheel. This interface prevents the bearings from becoming unaligned due to issues with bearing seat spacing or levelness and axle diameter or straightness. The inner race is stepped where it meets the seal to prevent contamination from dust or debris and the integrated spacer is stepped to reduce weight.

Other features include ABEC-7 rating, steel balls, nylon retainers, black outer casing, removable rubber-coated steel seals with printed graphic, and a proprietary lubricant combining both oil and grease.

The Tekton update is available now! Hit the link to grab a few sets. Seismic teases a ceramic update in the near future as well!
