Freeride - New custom longboard company in Utah

**beneggett** · 09-17-2009 01:02 AM

Yo I just started a custom longboard company here, our shops in Bountiful, UT, just 10 mins north of Salt Lake.

Check our site:Freeride Longboard Company | Custom Longboards, Design your Ride
If you need decks, accessories, or anything Randal/Abec 11 let me know and I might be able to hook it up.

Looks cool man! Feedback: more examples of boards would be nice, the site could be cleaned up a bit, and a sweet embedded video of someone shredding on a board of yours wouldn't hurt either. Good luck!

Id have to say the site is "interesting". Some sections are slowing down my quad core machine witch could be a deal-breaker for someone trying to look at your stuff with a slow machine. Also may want to re-think your mac desktop rip-off format, it will piss mac-haters off ... a lot.

You need more longboard cuts & actual "names" for the cuts and actual info on the ply's, materials used, mounting holes (new or old school) length, width, concave etc.. your basically telling us nothing at all about them accept you have 3 un-original un-though out cuts. You need an online storefront. E-mail tag is an almost guaranteed deal-breaker for someone trying to order online.

Your about 1/3 of the way there.

my 2 cents.

thanks for the feedback. i appreciate it. i launched the site last week and am working on it still. i'd like to get to where we are doing online sales, but we are still running shop out of the garage so were working the local market until we can.

If they've registered "Freeride" for commercial use then it doesn't matter. They sell longboards, they are surprisingly stocking Never Summer which I wasn't previously aware of.

Will do! Nah, Appreciate the concern, but we've gone through the legal portions of registering the business and it should not be a problem because we are a manufacturer of Longboard decks, not retailer.

Also, Freeride Boardshop is Canada based board shop, they have a storefront that sells products from various skate distributors, thus fall into a different industry than us. Although I can't say I knew of them prior to this.
