#FlatspotContest WINNER!
Congrats to @Tristan_Adrian_Jones from instagram for winning the Onsen #Flatspotcontest. Email your mailing address to info@flatspotlongboards.com and we will shoot that out asap! Make sure to check in this friday for our NEXT CONTEST!
Free Wheel Co. – The Bling of Urethane!
These guys know how to ball out of control. With green Cash Money urethane, yellow Gold urethane and grey Platinum urethane you can be sure to shred like Jay Z or whoever is making stupid amounts of money off rap these days.
Reese Boyko Destroys his Local Alleys!
Reese Boyko knows these alleyways like the back of his hand. He also has chickens in his backyard, which is pretty sweet. But enough about his cocks, we will let his skating speak for itself.
Comet Boards – We got a bunch of em!
This board line up from comet just looks too good. The graphics match, capture the riders they represent, and there is most certainly a board at the length you are looking for! Its exceptionally satisfying to see them all lined up. The main issue here is deciding which one to shred!
Will SmallWood Lemniscat: Part 1
A Lemniscat has the same beginning and end. This should give you a good hint of how TOTALLY AWESOME this video series is going to be. We hope you enjoy Part 1!
Zealous Bearings – Best bang for your buck!
Zealous bearings are the perfect unison of affordability and quality. In fact, compared to a lot of other bearings out there, your probably getting way more roll per dollar. They take can handle a huge amount of sideload, and have a the most incredible grease that polishes the bearing as you skate them. You gotta try them to know how great they are!
Zealous Bearings – Classic
$19.99CADFeature:
– Steel Balls
– Precision 8mm axle holes
– .4045″ built in spacers
– .5mm built in speedrings
– Green rubber seals to keep dirt and debris on the outside of the bearing.
– Lubed with Custom Nanoceramic Grease
-The unique feature of the lubricant is how the nanoceramic compound fills in deformations or asperities in the bearing. These deformations cause friction and heat around them which hardens the nano-ceramic compound to that specific area. This micro coating is 5 times the hardness of the host alloy and has a molecular bond with the host metal, filling in all the asperities and eliminating friction over time.
-The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities.
-Extremely low water washout
-Corrosion on the inside of the bearing is nearly eliminated.Sold in sets of 8 bearings.
