Our Skaters have been out in Seattle the home of Insect Skateboards and the Carbon Nanotech Longboard working with Steve Hopper getting these amazing new high tech Insect boards ready. Also they are learning how to set them up to get the best out of these very special decks.
When it comes to understanding Down Hill Race decks Steve at Insect is your man. Insect based in Seattle is surrounded in wonderful hills clad with smooth tarmac and sweeping bends. So it comes as no shock that the best Speed Race boards come from this area of the USA. Creation and testing go hand in hand for a typical Insect day. A great breed of Downhill Race Longboards tested by some very dedicated Longboarders.
Downhill Speed and Race Board in action.
Build complete and now to test the final product. "these racing downhill speed boards are insane", very fast, light but so controllable, "I'm in love..!"..Markus Gregson Feb 2009
Not every one wants to race, many Longboarders ride for fun in groups or on there own BUT one thing holds the all together;
PERFORMANCE
So now you have decided to invest in a top racing spec Speed Board from Insect UK you owe it to yourself and the deck to use the best wheels, bearings and trucks that money can buy. For the best deals visit;
Just because all Insect Longboards come with a Downhill “Race pedigree” doesn't mean you have to be a racer to enjoy these boards. We ask you to never forget that owning an Insect Longboard or any board from the Insect range should be great fun and that it is fun sport!
