SoCal rules!! So we went down to Long Beach California Jan 5 for the launch of AXS Longboard Retailer Magazine (oh yea and to go to Agenda 2012) and had a blast, 28 degrees celsius and sunny in January!

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.
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.

LONGBOARDERS rolled into the District of North Vancouver municipal hall Monday night to weigh in on proposed changes to the municipality’s boarding bylaws. Most were not thrilled about proposed changes to the existing bylaw that include increasing fines from $35 to $100 for reckless riders and giving police the authority to impound a longboard for 24 hours.
The festival will be getting bigger with a second event at the Whistler Sliding Centre that’s geared to recreational and beginner racers, as well as the main downhill race – a 1.6 km course with a 325 metres drop and 13 corners, seven of them 180 degree hairpin turns.
