Scott Seelye switched on a light in The Longboard Store’s east Bend warehouse, illuminating neat stacks of longboard decks hooked onto walls and shelves loaded with trucks and wheels.

 

It wasn’t the first time a bulb went on over his head.

For a year and a half, the 34-year-old Bend man and his wife, Jennifer, 30, have run, with a little help from their 11-yearold daughter, Grace, The Longboard Store, a mostly online endeavor uniting slalom and downhill racers, commuters and collectors, with the rides of their choice.

How the new 4.2 Freeride became our most sustainable skateboard to date.

We always try our best with our skateboards when it comes to the subject of sustainability and feel it’s our duty to consider environmental impact when designing and producing new stuff. Our other decks, like many other responsible brands come from sustainable forestry and are made in the same country the wood is felled. So when we caught wind of a company that had recently gone bust was about to scrap nearly four tonnes of maple, we drove in with our ‘eco-police’ sirens wailing, to see if we could stop or at least, reduce the size of the looming giant skateboard bonfire.
