Look for these high performance, precision made skateboard products in the shops now
STINGRAY TRUCKS
700 – a superb truck for speed or slalom with several built in advantages – a 7″ chromium plated heat treated high tensile steel axle and gravity die-casting for strength in a durable light LiM9. The high tensile steel action bolt is cast into the base plate and will not strip out.
Tuning of the red suspension rubbers for freestyle, bowl or slalom etc. couldn’t be easier, needing only a single nut adjustment. And there’s a special low friction pivot bush for faster response in radical situations. The nylon coating adds elegance to excellence.
550 – similar to the 700 with a
5½” axle width for free style. A highly versatile truck made to British Standard 1004A.
BOXER DECKS
The Boxer range consists of three exciting new decks made from fabriflex, a unique material specially developed for skateboard decks and is guaranteed virtually unbreak-able under skateboarding conditions. Boxer decks are self coloured making them easy to clean under running water.
Choose from:
FREESTYLE – 29″/7″ kicktail plus subtle kicktoe.
SLALOM -29″ /7″ negative camber – greater flex so you can really pump through those cones!
