The Killswitch says it all. The brainchild of Kevin “K-Rimes” Reimer is finally out and ready to steal your time, your urethane, and your minds. With years of experience riding downhill and a sharp mind, Kevin has taken the time to think about each and every movement you make when riding downhill, and how a board could make those maneuvers easier through being positively “locked in”. Ergonomics were the name of the game when this board came to be and it stickhandled through the competition better than Gretzky ever could.
Forty2 Longboards is a small operation located in Seattle, Washington. Forty2 believes strongly that there should not be a disconnect between art and function and was born out of a desire to combine these ideals. The designer and builder, Sean, is a skater who has often been unsatisfied with the commercial board choices presented to him. After many years in high end construction, he developed an understanding of the intricacies of different woods, as well as the fundamentals of elegant design. Experimentation began in his garage and after several successful builds for friends the word got out. Forty2 Longboards is quickly establishing itself as a standout.
Is your mini a racer or is your racer a mini? The Mini-Abbatis!
Daddies Board Shop and Rayne Longboards came out with the “The Abbatis” limited edition Hellcat in Spring of ’09 and blew through three runs of board this summer.
Daddies just had to have a couple mini versions of the board made for the twins and WHO KNEW there was an untapped need for a mini race board? There were so many requests after one of the mini versions appeared in Concrete Wave held by the child of a Rayne guy that a complete run of the boards seemed to be in order.
Today marks the launch of Landyachtz’s hugely revamped website. For the past few months we have been working away on the new site to better represent the company, and the sport as a whole. Finding the best photos to give people a good overall representation of what this sport is all about was one of our key focuses, and something we wanted showcased throughout the site both to build the stoke with current longboarders, and to show potential new longboarders what sort of fun they can be having. We think we’ve accomplished this.
1. to form by heating and hammering; beat into shape.
2. to form or make, esp. by concentrated effort.
After all these years the definition still holds true. The Forge was Rayne’s first board and now in 2009 we have the distinct pleasure of releasing our newest revision.
The Forge has been designed with the mountain in mind on a day when there are no lineups, the forest air is filled with electricity and there is fresh powder EVERYWHERE. BAM! Thrashing is effortless. You are ripping huge slashes and buttering the BIG, BEAUTIFUL, pillowy-fresh lines. The Forge features twin kicks, offset camber and variable concave for developing YOUR arsenal of style. To be one with the mountain you must be one with your board.
