"Been riding the all new Insect Nano Firefly over the last few days, they are absolutely insane this is the Insect top mount longboard with a really deep concave which locks your feet in place, every move you command of this Firefly makes the board react so precisely, and its also insanely fast and light so acceleration is really good on top of this the new Insect Nano Firefly looks amazing; they really are as Steve Hopper says; “weapons grade boards for peaceful bombing” loads of info and pics to follow soon Markus" - Insect UK Team Rider.

 

Latest Insect Skateboard and Longboard News

 

Well after a long chat with Steve Hopper in Seattle the home of Insect Skateboards production is well underway. Steve has had more than his fair share of challenges, producing high tech longboards is always going to be difficult. His dream is to produce the best longboards and Skateboards on the market and without doubt this has been achieved. Insect Skateboards are NOT mass produced Chinese rubbish like so many so call high end longboards. Insect 100% USA at there best. Each Insect deck is engineered by hand with the highest quality materials being used at all times. We have two of our riders living and working with Insect with a further two going out for training in about 10 days. Due to the very special nature of these decks it is important to us that all of our staff are personally trained by Steve Hopper at Insect HQ.

 

The first all new Nano Insect Decks will be with us on the 18th February 2009. So you can have the best Longboard decks in the world by the 21st February. Then the next shipment will be with us on the 1st March 2009.

 

Most of these decks have been pr-ordered so if you want something from Insect Skateboards PLEASE email sales@apollo11shop.co.uk and we will do our very best for you.

 

 

 

Are you a European Skate shop?

6th February 2009

 

After discussions and luaghter (don't forget thats what Longboarding is about) last night with Steve at Insect Skateboards in Seattle we have agreed to help him supply Insect Decks to all European Counties, this is going to take a little time to set up but we should be able to have this in place by early spring. Due to the weak British Pound and strong Euro our prices will be very attractive, which will help European Insect Longboarders get top spec longboards at mid range prices! Please email; sales@apollo11shop.co.uk for more details.

Steve Hopper ready for another day in the high tech Insect HQ. Thanxs to Steve's obsession with quality you get the opportunity to ride the worlds best longboards. Motivation is inbred but without the full support of his very patient wife and great children Insect Skateboards may not exist, so we thank your family Steve for being there for you when that long hard road never seems to end, thank you. Without people like this Longboarding would never progress.

INSECT FIREFLY

 

This Insect deck is a perfect downhill race board for beginners and the most experienced racer as it is light but has the length for high speeds and a deep concave which provides the perfect foot positioning so you can lock your foot in and produce exceptional leverage for cornering, but this also makes the Insect Firefly a good carving board with enough deck space and length to carve or cruise where ever you want. The Firefly board also has the extra holes drilled so you can adjust the wheel base to what is perfect for you, whether you’re looking for speed or giant carving. The Insect Firefly deck is insane, “I am in love”.

 

 

INSECT WASP

 

The Insect Wasp is a creation for pure speed and downhill racing, the Insect Pilot is provided with a wide foot base all along the board and as with the Firefly the deep concave provides assurance by keeping them feet in a good riding positioning again leverage for hard cornering at high speed is so natural, spot your race line and hold it fast. The Wasp has an amazing shape with good width creating the shape of crying out for speed runs. The Wasp due to its innovative creation allows the rider to can stand right over the front truck for speed but you can still point that Wasp nose into a gnarly corner and comfortably keep the same position.

 

 

 

LONGBOARDING

 

Long boarding has progressed a huge amount over the past few years from being just a small band of crazy folk out on a lonesome hill to a full on world assault on hills that provide you with a rush like no other feeling on this planet. Now it has become an every day obsession for thousands of Longboarders all over the world, nun more so than in the downhill racing scene. The amount of races all around the world has increased and the amount of riders from free riding to racing is insane but this is only the beginning. The long board land speed record is only 75 miles an hour and it can be smashes, of that I am sure. Year on year the World Cup Series continues to grow with new races being added.

Insect skateboards has the technology, passion and sole to create boards that have and will continue to make an insane impact on the skate and longboard scene with the Team and their amazing boards, Insect Skateboards are destined to become the fastest Skateboard  Team in the world with the most precise and manoeuvrable boards at any speed.

Thank you Steve, family and friends for supporting the APOLLO 11 Race Team as without good team work I would still be skating hills in the rain back in the UK, now back to “Bombing Hills” on my Insect of course!!...Markus UK Insect Team Rider.
