Speed and grip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bet vou’re wondering what racing bikes are doing in your skateboard mag aren’t you?<\/p>\n

O.K. We’Il tell you.<\/p>\n

The bike out in front is using some amazing tyres called Avon Roadrunners<\/p>\n

Which is why it’s out in front.<\/p>\n

Because here at Avon we know what’s needed for really radical riding and we’ve been winning races tor a long, long, time.<\/p>\n

We’ve been making things out of urethane for a long time too. In fact, we were making things from urethane long before Britain ever heard of skateboards.<\/p>\n

So, knowing all about speed and grip and urethanes, \u00a0we figure we ought to be able to make a really hot skateboard wheel!<\/p>\n

So here it is – the best looking, smoothest riding wheel you’ve ever laid your eyes on – the great, new Avon Booster!<\/p>\n

Blast-off for a whole new experience.<\/p>\n

Boosters are from an advanced 85\/86 durometer ‘cobalt blue’ urethane and have 65mm. diameter with a scientifically calculated negative-edge reinforcement for riding like you’ve never known before.<\/p>\n

They are suitable for all tvnpes of riding and give the ultimate combination of speed. control and wet\/dry grip – making them ideal for the good old English weather.<\/p>\n

Space-age technologv – down to earth prices.<\/p>\n

Now you probably think that it’s going to cost you a small fortune to cash in on all our experience and technical wizardry. Forget it! You can buv Avon Boosters at the sort of prices you’d pay for ordinary wheels.<\/p>\n

Around \u00a34.65 each with shielded bearings or \u00a34.85 each with double sealed bearings. If you shop around you could pay even less.<\/p>\n

The great new Avon Booster. Go for it. at your local skateshop now!<\/p>\n

Avon Boosters are complete with bearings or double sealed bearings.<\/p>\n

Jock Paterson, a leading member of Max’s Sunset Boulevard skateboard team and Nationwide Supreme Skateboard Champion says – “Avon Boosters are really good.really smooth. l am amazed at the quality of these wheels. With such a smooth ride and incredible grip they are real value for money.”<\/p>\n
