Bad News Dept: Montreal's Top Challenge is Cancelled. The '08 edition of this multidisciplinary event has been cancelled, according to event organizers, who reported,"A new comitee to protect the Parc du Mont-Royal has convinced the city to stop allowing permits for events that last more than 24 hours..."
This reduces the major events for '08, leaving only Munnsville for large, East Coast races.
"The latest addition to the growing Lush wheel lineup is the 70mm AVALANCHE. We called it a "freeride wheel" because it's a quick way of saying it slides, carves, goes fast and rolls well. It's best suited to a hard carving, slidey style."

For ours readers from North Korea or if you have been spending the last years on the Moon or if you just don't know,.. Flexboardz is an innovative boardriding design !
It integrate the best technologies (independent tiltable wheels,.) to provide the best ride ever out of the water or the snow: powerful, safe (no wobble ) and fun !

“… On se sent tout de suite à l’aise, avec des sensations très proches de celles d’un mountainboard. On accélère un peu et forcément on veut opposer une résistance en appuyant sur les talons. Là, surprise, l’effet flex arrive. Plus on pousse et plus les roues s’inclinent. Quelle incroyable sensation de contrôle et d’accroche, alors qu’en mountainboard on aurait déjà tendance à déraper complètement ! » * source : Kitesurf Magazine – Août 06
“It's incredible !!! I never seen something liked that before ! Imagine, you live in San Francisco on the summer and you go to colorado for the winter. It could be endless extremcarving.” “Although i am a fan of the flexboardz concept, i think those guys just have my respect!!!Its not really carving cos they slide, but looks familiar” * source: forum extremecarving.com
« C'est assez différent du carveboard. En fait c'est pratiquement le contraire en tous points... sauf un: ça carve ! Ca carve ! Ca carve même très fort. En courbe on se croit sur un rail. /.../Ah oui, j'oubliais, elle se vend avec la promesse de zero wobble. Pour ma part, c'est une promesse tenue. » * source : forum carveboard.fr
"Definitely one of the most interesting items we’ve reviewed to date, the FlexBoardz Karrika is a platform of Gallic innovation. This is a unique carving machine from a maker that proclaims a very interesting concept: “open source deck design”. The Karikka owns hills at any speed with moderate tweaking, is an intricate, effective design and there’s nothing else like.” * source: silverfishlongboarding.com
Press Release : After 30 plus years of skating and 20 years as a professional woodworker, I decided to combine my passion for the two disciplines into Pressure Drop Longboards.
Fibretec is a small, Swiss, producer of Downhill / Slalom skateboards, custom Surf and Snowboards. Everytthing is produced "hands on" every step of the way, to create a product we are proud to stand behind. Everything is in -house, from testing to design and production. We believe the only way to truly control the quality, is to do everything ourselves.
Having all these tools mean our scope is huge, from store signage to tee shirt printing. Everything in -house keeps the costs lower and the quality high. This is why we produce OEM for alot of other companies.
Our boards are produced with the highest quality materials. By hand, with heart. ALL the employees have boarding in the blood. When we are not building them, we are out riding them. So if its a single custom board, a production run, a logo or some tees come by and give us a visit, or drop us a line.
