Earthwing Slide A's

Slide A – Earthwing

It’s the end of an era for these awesome tech-sliding wheels. Earthing Slide As are heading out.

The Earthwing Slide As are nearing the end of their product life due to high manufacturing costs. Current stock is the last that will be available.

The Slide As have been around since 2006 and are highly regarded as one of the best technical slide wheels. Predictable release, fast low-friction slides, and clean hook ups are characteristic of what you’ll hear from riders.

Available in 62MM or 65MM sizes with offset cores and rounded lips; they only come in one durometer, 58d. Both sizes feature a width of 39MM with 24MM contact patches.

Chop Shop Contest – Rayne Longboards

Rayne’s second Chop Shop contest is live. Grab a Template & submit your creativity for the win.

“Can you make me a custom board?” No, but you can!

The Rayne Template DIY and Chop Shop Contest is back for round two! Last year, Rayne asked riders to design their own board by chopping an existing Rayne board or designing a brand new board using Rayne’s template. The templates are one-of-a-kind blanks, pressed in Rayne’s shop and delivered unadulterated so riders can cut and shape at home. And there’s a contest for it!

2017 ST – Buddy Buddy Boards

BuddyBuddy’s 2017 ST is out!

Buddy Buddy Boards has always been a buddy to nature with new, innovative and environmentally friendly production methods that haven’t been seen anywhere else.
 
Their “Anchorcore” technology is unique in the union of the upper and lower fiber layers by anchor points through holes in the core. The anchors join the two layers, allowing both to play a role in supporting the weight of the rider, increasing torsional stiffness and vibration dampening.
 

New Board: The ST (SportTurismo) Deck

Their newest addition, the 2017 “ST” deck is no anomaly when it comes to this innovative construction. The new 36.5 inch by 9.5 inch deck features a mellow W-concave for comfort and grip, and a semi-cutout topmount shape for downhill ease. The core is made of Poplar and Ash with the stringers grown in one piece from tip to tail, and plies are laminated with Entropy resins to make a bond so tight, there is a 5 year warranty for delamination.
 
Pictured is the regular ST deck. The black bottom is the limited edition release, laminated with Basalt Rock fibers instead of fiberglass. Innovative, lighter, and 20% stiffer.

About Buddy Buddy

Their Anchorcore tech is sick. That we all know.

Their decks beyond the SportTurismo are just as sick. The Cruiser fits a casual, city-style ride that is fitting as the shortest longboard in their collection. Their GrandTurismo (GT) is versatile and often used for people creating their own e-board complete. Throw in a few other styles and you can see they have a ton of versatility in their current inventory.

Their snowboards are also sick, but we don’t want to get carried away…

We might be in the market for a new mini and want to hear if how it compares to the rest of Rayne’s longboards.
