Loaded Fattail Longboard for 2013


 A little extra girth never hurt anyone. At least that was the approach when it came time to revamp the design of the Pintail. Loaded wanted to modernize this classic concept so it could keep up with evolutions in riding and performance.

The Fattail was designed for pumping, carving, pedestrian slalom, freestyle and generally any situation where lively, energetic lines are on the menu. Increased concave locks your feet in against g-forces, while the topmounted and cambered platform provides energetic performance in and out of each carve. The width of the deck has been redistributed while maintaining subtle tapering near the trucks to provide both ample leverage and awareness of foot position while powering through turns. The formerly vestigial tail has received the silicone treatment for improved functionality in both freestyle tricks and surf-style shredding. The Fattail is also equipped with a slight nose kick for manuals and shuvits.
Stop by and check this as well as all of the other Great longboards Alpine stocks from loaded. This one was built by Pat with Green bear trucks and 70mm Yellow 4 president O tangs.

Never Summer never ceases to amaze. Check out the infamous Proto Graphic on this sweet longboard deck. It has the exact top and base found on the snowbaord. Never summer says:
The Tomahawk was designed as a skate everything freeride board. The Symmetrical platform with added kicktails allow it to excel at freestyle, flatland cruising and freeriding. The micro drop platform ensures you never lose your place on the board. With a Tomahawk under your feet, the possibilities are endless. 
So stop in and push it around the store. It's a lot of fun.

Black Label Emergency decks are on the wall

We have always dabbled a little in Black label skateboards. We are now officially carrying more of them then we ever had in the past. I can't get enough of what John Lucero does. Never mind that he has always been my favorite skater, and I think his artwork is great. The team is solid, the wood is good, and the shapes are SUPER RAD. Take these 2 Emergency decks above. The Nash is a throwback graphic from his sims days and Lance re did this art. The Grigley is an exact replica of his old board with a much more user friendly shape. Get one of these under your feet, and you will be stoked. Weather has finally turned so get out and ride. Support your local skateshop.
