Rocket – Simplex – Deck

Description

Rocket Longboards – Simplex – Downhill Skateboard Deck

A board so simple but yet so complex. LAF (light as f**k) construction is back: water and bomb proof and only 2.65 lbs / 1.2 kg light. With a very simple but effective concave that leaves all options open to the rider.

When we designed the Simplex, we had a vision: A very simple board with no distracting features that still feels incredibly good and intuitive. All of this paired with a construction that is completely waterproof and extremely impact-resistant. Thanks to the full urethane edges and inserts in truck holes and footstop holes, nothing can harm this board. But because it is also not choppable or redrillable, even more thought went into the shape and the position of the holes. The result is a board that does not require any modification of the dimensions. At the same time, however, all options are open to adapt the concave completely to the rider’s wishes. The Simplex is equipped with our signature mellow elliptical concave. This combines the board feel of a radial concave with the locked-in feeling of a tub concave. Added to this is a mellow W at the back, very minimal flairs at the front, and a mellow rocker. Nothing that bothers you, but everything you need.

To properly present this new board, we sent our youngest team rider Andréas Bouclier together with Barthélemy Rigaud to the French Alps to shoot a video for it. The result is a 7-minute masterpiece that premiered at the Downhill Skate International Film Festival (DOSIF) in Lyon end of June 2024.
