Fibreflex: Two Ways to Outperform

two ways to outperform

Fibreflex

Steve Cathey, freeform artist.

Chris Yandell, the nation’s top slalom contender.

FIBREFLEX FREESTYLE… a new type of performance skateboard by Fibreflex. The design of the Fibreflex Freestyle is based around freeform and trick performance. Its dimensions are 26 inches in length, and a full 61/2 inches wide. The overall fullness of the Fibreflex Freestyle template, combined with low camber (or spoon), provide un-paralleled stability, which is a definite edge in any type of freeform or trick competition. The actual weight of the Fibreflex body is extremely light. This in itself makes 360’s and other wheelie-type maneuvers a simplicity.

FIBREFLEX PRO SLALOM… by now, no doubt you’ve heard of the success of Fibreflex on the nation’s slalom courses. The design of the Fibreflex Pro Slalom is based around all-out down-hill slalom performance proven by its most recent victory at Orange County Fairgrounds Pro-Am, with Henry Hester and Chris Yandell pumping their Fibreflex for maximum speeds to 1st and 2nd place slalom honors respectively. The real unkept secret of Fibreflex is its unique feel… the feel of a full working flex, or maximum downward set with a positive and powerful thrust back return. This type of flex, experienced only by the Fibreflex pilot, is accomplished through its uniquely sophisticated composite construction.

FIBREFLEX PERFORMANCE speaks for itself. If you are truly interested in performance skate-boarding, whether you’re a freestyle artist or a downhill slalom racer, Fibreflex has a specialized and performance-tuned skate machine for you. Why settle for less. The bitterness of poor quality and unprogressive equipment lasts much longer than the sweetness of a lower price. Experience the Fibreflex Feel at one of the many Gordon & Smith dealers throughout the coastal areas of the country. Inland dealerships are available. Add a new dimension to your skateboarding… FIBREFLEX.
