#FlatspotDeckofTheDay – Arbor Vugenhausen

The Arbor Vugenhausen has a hidden meaning. Vugenhausen is a german word. Hausen means “to wreak havoc”. Vugen means “to screw”. You get the picture.

Symmetrical, rockered, super stiff, gas pedals, and really really pretty, the Arbor VugenHausen kind of looks like an excaliber sword hilt. Its also James Kellys brainchild from way back in the day, and has managed to live on without its master and creator. Primarily due to the fact that its just an awesome board. Arbor’s signature design move is to finish their boards off with a matchbooked koa veneer. In normal words that means super pretty matching wood grains. Its hard to decide if this board is awesome because it rips, or if its awesome because it looks so flossy.

To set this smexy plank up to roll real nice we figured we would go all out. Skoas are currently one of the most popular precision trucks with an incredibly stacked team, and the Vapors are a fantastic option. And if Laine Jackart can’t bend them, no one can. Vicious for that uber rough grip, and Free Wheel Loaders for that inside inside line.

Zealous – Ceramic Bearings
$39.99CAD
Zealous downhill Ceramic precision Spaced longboard Bearings
Ceramic Balls
-Ceramic balls are lighter, stiffer, smoother and naturally corrosion resistant. This means we can use a lower viscosity lubricant which makes them fast right out of the tube.
– Precision 8mm axle holes
– .4045″ built in spacers
– .5mm built in speedrings
– Strengthened Nylon Ball Retainers
– White rubber seals to keep dirt and debris on the outside of the bearing.
– Lubed with Custom Nanoceramic Grease
-The unique feature of our 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.
-Corrosion on the inside of the bearing is nearly eliminated.
Sold in sets of 8 bearings.
