The Magic of Xylan: Reflective Helmets and Decks
February 18, 2012 – 11:02 PM | No Comment

Xylite – Welcome to the future of skate graphics!! No longer are flat lifeless images necessary, enter Xylan and our crazy new material “Xylite”. We now have the ability to produce full color high quality graphics and even photos in a new highly reflective medium we call Xylite. Xylite is a new material from South Korea that actually amplifies light from any source and reflects it in full color! These boards look like they’re filled with LEDs but they only reflect the surrounding light. When photographed from a block away the Xylite is actually brighter than the surrounding street lights! Xylite is a truly unique material that is currently only availible on Xylan Longboards.Xylite Lit By An LED

We will be producing Xylite images on our full line of boards and helmets. We have some really killer speedboards in our line that will hold up to what ever you through at them. I’ve been working at destroying my sleeper for a few months now unsuccesfully. I’ve taken drops and jumps on it as well as just jumping up and down on the thing and it’s still kicking! We also have some really killer cruisers including a kick ass camber flex we call “The Ledgend” that has a sweet kick tale and super classic look as well as a super plush bamboo board we call the “Panda Poo”. We also have a freeride drop through board called the “Freakstyle” that has just a hint of tail at both ends.

As well we will be producing a signature model for 1980 Canadian feestyle winner Rick Tetz! We will be one of only a small number of companys producing freestyle boards and the only company producing them in Xylite! Evey flip trick will be like a flash bulb going off under your feet! All of our boards are made with the highest quality materials and are available in Xylite! Be on the lookout for these boards as they’re sure to be noticed.
