Killswitch

 

Active Image


 

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

 

Active Image

 

 

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!


Active Image

 

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.
