Pro Tribute Set Up: Louis Pilloni
Louis Pilloni is not only a fantastic skater, but a quality human being as well. The gear he rides is epic, how he rides it is epic, and skating with him is epic. Cheers to Louis!
Louis Pilloni has contributed so much to skateboarding over the years. From his early days with Loaded Longboards, to his work with SkateHouse Media, and now his involvement with Sector 9, Gullwing Trucks and Rad wheels, Louis has affected this sport and community in a very real way.
Without Louis the world may not have had the opportunity to watch the insanity that is Angies Curves. But enough of this brown nosing, lets talk about his gear.
Louis rocks one of Sector 9s most versatile downhill division boards: The Arrow. Built with maple and fibreglass this board is durable, stiff and ready for a beating. The kicktail is also highly functional and makes this board capable of essentially anything.
Also from Sector 9 are Louis signature Lightning gloves! Instead of telling you about them you can watch this friggin sweet edit
Gullwing Truck Co. recently released their latest reverse kingpin truck, of which Louis has a pro model of. These trucks have so many features its insane. The hanger is a raked and 183mm wide, with a 47 deg baseplate. A sweet recipe for downhill and freeride. Plus the hangers are flippable! And grindable!
Louis Pilloni rides for Rider Approved Designs. For the sake of being super fly, the 82a Glides look awesome with the Sector 9 Arrow. All that blue sliding goodness. Rad Glides come in 78a (white), 80a (red) and 82a (blue). And with a contact patch of 30mm they are exceptionally slidy.
To end off this tribute to the embodiment of rad that is the human being known as Louis Pilloni, enjoy this majestic run from some obscene mountain pass in Europe!
