New Freebrake Footbrake Brake Soles

Max Kaye has probably spent the most time in Europe of anyone on the Flatspot team. Not only touring the event scene, but just living there and being an EU “local” to the longboard community. One of the brands he told me we needed to carry was Freebrake. He said the brake soles were second to none. Max was forced to come back to BC for the kick off of this new normal. When he got home, he ordered a box of Freebrake and brought it to the shop and made me stock it. Ha Ha, very Max. Big heart for the shop and the community everywhere.
