EARTHWING The new Earthwing Hightailer could probably be called the “what is it?”EARTHWING The new Earthwing Hightailer could probably be called the “what is it?” It seems like these days new products need new labels to designate the purpose, otherwise customers may get confused. This could be a high-speed dancer, topmount freerider, double-kick speedboard, DH freestyle, park longboard or some other inventive label. Put simply, this is literally just a giant skateboard made for giant riding. It features ample wheel wells with multiple mounts. Earthwing is honored to feature the graffiti artist [RIPO]. earthwingskates.com | |
