#FlatspotDeckofTheDay: Valhalla SellOut
Quite possibly the beefiest and most gossipy board in longboarding at the moment, the sell out is a direct statement about loosing a sponsored rider to a competing board company. Juicy right?
Ever watch Kings of the Mud? If you haven’t, do it now. If you have, you will know what I’m talking about. Which is that run at the end, that SUPER BURLY run. Well thats Cooper, a total and complete beast of a downhill skater who at one point road for Valhalla. Before his Valhalla pro-model was released he bounced for a new brand called Prism. Well Valhalla wasn’t about to not make his epic board, but to commemorate the events that have transpired, it is now called the Sellout. We’re not sure exactly what thats supposed to mean, probably something poetic about loss and impermanence. But that story aside, lets focus on the Valhalla Sellout Complete and not the gossip. Its a boat of a topmount with a mouth watering taper so you don’t have to be constantly shifting that back foot. With ALL of the mounting options. And like anything built for speed, its stiff as balls. Now go watch Kings of the Muddd again, its good for you.
For the Valhalla Sellout Complete board we went ALL OUT on the set up as though money didn’t exist. And its baller AF.
Here’s a clip of Cooper blessing the rains.
