Throwback: Danger Bay 2023 Mike Rutter Photos

Coast Longboarding’s Attack of Danger Bay was 6 months ago and that means it’s 6 more months until this epic festival of skate is back. Start planning now. We can’t wait!  This past year was a return to some normalcy after a few years of ‘secret’ invite only Danger Bays to keep it alive during restrictions. It felt very much like returning home and reuniting with so many friends and family. Fortunately for us, Mike Rutter was also out for the weekend and had his camera. So we’re throwing it back to this past Danger Bay with a few select photos from Mr. Rutter – thanks Mike! // read more

Loaded Fathom – For the Last Mile (Or Every Mile)

Flatspot has always been a fan of the push! Maybe you’ve heard? #WalkingIsForChumps! From commuting around town to long paths in the woods of North Vancouver, we even skated across a country. We just love to be out on a board. Over the years we’ve tried a lot of things. We chased those long treks on Demonseeds, we snubbed up 35 inch switchblades with tkps, and we’ve been cutting custom platform decks for brackets for as long as there have been brackets. Having the gear that makes your distance melt away makes all the difference. There really isn’t a need to struggle with that anymore. Introducing the Loaded Fathom and G-Bomb Zee Bracket. Loaded has worked to offer a new light weight, super strong, cost effective bracket system that lets you use easy to access parts like Paris Trucks and Orangatang wheels.. and the Loaded Fathom platform of course!… to build a personalized setup thats going to keep you pushing and pumping all day long. We’ll make another post to go into more details about the Zee bracket itself and all the DIY options, but lets look at the full package, the Loaded Fathom Complete option, first! // read more
