#FlatspotDeckOfTheDay – Longboard Larry Hippo
An exceptionally versatile board with molars to match!
The Longboard Larry Hippo comes in at 40 inches long, with a 9.75 width right at the pockets (where the width matters most). It also has an adjustable wheelbase at either 25 or 26 inches long.
The stiffness and concave of the board make it an epic freeride board with great pop. Being symmetrical lets you rotate to your hearts desire and not have to worry about where you tail might be! Doesn’t matter if you are cross stepping across a plaza or trying to hit an apex in the mountains, this board is ready for just about anything you throw it down.
For a set up we suggest the GullWing Reverse Trucks with Zealous bearings and Free Quincy wheels. The Gullwings have a flippable hanger, which means you can have them set up taller and carvy, or lower and more stable. The Free Dumbs on the other hand are going to be a long lasting freeride wheel that goes sideways for days. Zealous will last long and the builtin spacers will stay nice and snug. Last but not least, everyone needs a Flatspot Patch!
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.
