A busy weekend on the downhill/longboard race circuit...

A frenetic weekend of international downhill skateboarding/longboarding action awaits us & we can't wait to share the results with you next week!


IDF's 2014 world number 2 Marie Bougourd (aka Spoky Woky) is in action stateside, competing in California at the Catalina Island Classic 2015...


Marie getting in some training for the Maryhill Freeride last weekend...

And closer to home, our friends Aaron Skippings & Joe Baldwin are heading to Belgium to compete with a great international field at Eat Concrete 2015.

Joe & Aaron chilling at Pike's Peak last year...



Check out the highlights from last year's epic Eat Concrete event...


We wish everyone the best of luck, a safe & speedy ride!

John Griffiths, SMB sponsored skater update...

We've had a great update from John Griffiths this week:

"Its been non-stop this month! I don't like to waffle on so I'll keep it short and sweet!



Aaron Skippings pretty much covered our trip to europe... (see the video exploits here) it was rad, the hills where amazing and the party's where even better, coming home sucked I wish I was still there!

As for other events ride the dragon in Wales reclassified longboarding as a watersport, rivers on the track and standing water over two inches deep made the already technical track even more sketchy and racing was more a case of make it down alive than beat the competition. Luckily I managed to stay on my board enough to make it into the finals and third place!

What's more my bearings are still rolling fine even after being submerged underwater for two days in Wales...WIN!  Cheers for your help :) "

Thanks for your news John. We're delighted to hear that your bearings stood up to a bit of a battering :0)& many congratulations on the podium place at 'Ride the Dragon' in Wales.
