Fastracks are now in stock

fastrack trucks

Hopkin Racing’s vote for longboard truck of the year.

Yes you have read correct, we rate these trucks as the best entry level longboard truck on the market. Read on and you’ll see why.

So it is a traditional longboard truck in many ways. 50 degree pivot angle, standard size hangers, six hole baseplate and cast in hanger axels. However it is where the trucks are different that they create a superior ride.

First big difference is the over sized bushings, dubbed ”Stimulator 3”. They create a stable ride in a fast hill bomb but allow a deep carve when pushed hard.

There is a inset collar in the bushing seat to accommodate different types of bushings. The seat allows you to ride the standard bushings flipped or use a Khiro barrel or coned bushing to customise the truck.

The hangers have been engineered to be flipped to allow further fine tuning of the truck. Baseplate has been scaled down to save weight.

Overall the best production truck we have ridden this year. Get on it and bomb it.

Sold as a pair.

Sydney City Bomb Squad

At last! A regular free-riding session in the city!

The Sydney City Bomb Squad meets every thursday night at 6pm or 8pm (depending on everyone’s schedule) at either Redfern Station or Central Station and runs a pleasure cruise through the city, bombing all those sweet hills you’ve driven through during the day wishing you could skate them if there wasn’t so much traffic.

The cruise usually starts off by skating down towards darling harbor and hitting up the Entertainment Centre carpark (until booted) then heading towards the ‘Block Banks’ in Darling harbor. After that the skate leads to Hyde Park then Martin Place before bombing down to the Opera House and skating the “Spiral Of Dreams”.

Truly an epic skate session… for more information join the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19713415465
