Rocket Longboards – Excalibur Bumpy Hales Pro – Downhill Skateboard Deck
Camber? Yes, camber. Bumpy Hales thinks outside the box and this shows in his pro model. This board is different, but not for the sake of being different. When it works and feels so good, you just have to break the boundaries of conventionality.
The Excalibur has a mellow elliptical concave overall and a light and wide W at the back. We’ve seen something like this before. The revolutionary innovation is under the front foot. A very light camber between the ball of the foot and the heel tilts the foot slightly forward. The concave at the heel is kept very minimal and rises under the toe. Together with the slightly deeper front flushcut, it helps to shift the rider’s weight forward and increases control and stability in the tuck and slides. At the same time, it gives the foot a slight pressure into the foot stop and ensures perfect contact. So simple and yet so effective.
Bumpy himself has always cut his previous boards asymmetrically. Since we know that not everyone likes asymmetrical boards, we decided to add cut lines to the bottom at the front. This means that everyone, whether goofy or regular, can tailor their board to Bumpy’s example.
This board rides even better with a weight. That’s why two mounting options for our Gravity Plate or other weights are already drilled in.
In the end, the result is a board that is just like Bumpy: completely unique and absolutely game-changing.
