#FlatspotDeckOfTheDay: Valhalla Master Blaster
There is only ONE who runs BarterTown, and it is MASTER BLASTER! (If that doesn’t make sense go watch Madd Max Beyond Thunderdome right now)
Valhalla is synonymous with follow car filming and lots and lots of speed. Alex Bad Decisions Ameen has been capturing some of the creamiest media for a while, and Valhalla boards are born out of that. The Master Blaster specifically is 37.5″ Long, 9.75″ wide, with a wheelbase of 24-28″. Other tasty features include a 1/4 taper, and .666″ rocker as well as .666 tub W Concave (HAIL SKATAN).
Set up with Bear Kodiaks and Sucrose Vice wheels this board is a go-fast-and-do-big-skids machine. The Kodiaks have that lovely deep turn as a result of the tall bushings. The Sucrose wheels slide consistently across many kinds of pavement and last a good long while. Zealous builtin bearings are not only super affordable ($17.5!), but they are also EPIC. But unfortunately none of this quality gear will work without 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.
