Flush mounts keep your board lower to the ground for stability and to keep your truck angles true.

Wanna stop wiggling and put more power into your carves? If the answer is 'Yes', then these are the boards for you. The beauty of the Sidewinder Series comes straight from the trucks, which were specifically designed for carving. The extra kingpin and pivot engineered into the trucks give them something akin to the additional joint your fingers have, and provide you with a quick, responsive turning radius, that's unlike anything you've ridden before.
]]>Lately, it seems like you can’t even take two steps out your front door without hearing someone yell ‘SEND IT!’…….and you’re thinking ‘I’m just walking to my car, dude’. Well, if you want to impress that yappy neighbor, #THESEND is your vehicle of choice. This sleekly foiled Sector 9 pintail will allow you to carve up the streets, and ‘send it’, like the true style-master you know you are! #dontfall #dontlethimfilmyou #kooksarepeopletoo
Is there anyone on the planet having as much fun as Mason Ho? The guy exudes pure stoke, 24/7, and this board is his first Signature Sector 9 model.

With that in mind, we worked closely with him to develop a super fun board that is extremely versatile. Whether charging your local ditch, cruising the boardwalk, or having a session at your local skatepark, the Mason Pro should be a 'go-to' for anyone looking for a good time! Sit back and enjoy as Mason Ho walks you through setting up his signature Island Mason Pro for the first time.

We are proud to introduce the Tia Pro, the signature skateboard for professional surfer and Sector 9 team rider Tia Blanco. This is the first time we've ever worked with a female rider to develop a specific board, and Tia took her time in order to ensure the final product not only reflected her tastes, but also ended up being a highly functional skateboard.

Long story short, Adidas is making a new shoe for NBA athlete Damian Lillard who happens to be a roller skate enthusiast. His new shoes glow in the dark and matches the 67mm78a Lumithane perfectly so they decided to use the wheels for the promotional roller skates they are making. We are told Damian will be riding these skates out as he makes an entrance to an NBA game. Check the link from USA Today for more coverage on the release. Would be a lot cooler if they were on a skateboard but still pretty cool.
The Lumithane wheels are available now and come stock on the Lumiskate Completes.

“When we first arrived to Moscow we did some exploring before finding a late lunch. We then headed to the historic Red Square for some flatground skating before boarding a midnight train headed to St. Petersburg. When we got on the train the Capital Distribution guys welcomed us to Mother Russia with multiple glasses of Jim Beam and apple juice. When the train arrived in St. Petersburg none of us had gotten nearly enough sleep, a theme that was maintained throughout our entire time in Russia!
It was then off into the city of St. Ptersburg to visit Traektoria Boardshop and Quiksilver Russia crew before heading to a biathlon track on the outskirts of town. They had some runs on a smooth, curvy, and closed road that ended up being really fun. Our wheels were shredded so the crew went out into the town for a nice dinner and a few drinks. As it occasionally does, a few drinks turned into a night of drinks, and skating around the historic city center. A group of local skaters took us for a tour through the city which started at the Church on Spilt Blood, a church built on the site where former Tsar Alexander II was killed in the late 1800’s. As the story goes he was riding along in his carriage when an assassin threw a grenade at him. The grenade only stopped the carriage and didn’t hurt the Tsar, who got out of the vehicle to confront and reprimand the anarchist conspirator. While this was taking place, a second assassin took the opportunity to detonate his bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding Alexander II.
After barely any sleep again, it was off to the train station to head back to Moscow. Once we got back to Moscow Jacko and I got the chance to head to a local ski jump hill called Kant, that has a t-bar to bring you back to the top. The local skaters showed up in force and rallied runs until it was time to head to the next session. Next stop was the famous Gorky Park! Gorky Park contains various lakes, fountains, carousels, grass fields, flowers, miles of trails, a skatepark, and more. The park stretches for miles and has chairs set up all along the river bank for people to lounge and enjoy summer. Once everyone showed up for the instructional freeride, so did the weather. It started to rain buckets with thunder and lightning sending skaters fleeing for dry land. Lots of people were disappointed so I decided to show them that a little rain never hurt anyone, and is actually the best way to learn how to slide! Within a few minutes of Jacko and I taking runs in the pouring rain, the rest of the Russians followed suit and were soon skating, smiling, soaked and stoked!
After the group skate, we headed to a café in the park that had been rented out so we could party. We had way too much fun with all of the locals, various Sector 9 videos were projecting on the wall, and to top it off there were prizes and giveaways for all of the local crew. Jacko also challenged, and beat, all-comers in an arm wrestling match. This concluded what was a short but spectacular trip to Russia. The Russians were some of the friendliest and most outgoing people I have run into during my travels. The culture we experienced was amazing, and the cities were beautiful. Sector 9 ????? ??????! ! (Sector 9 loves Russia)”

The Downhill Division linked up with Red Bull for the opportunity to skate the historic Donner Pass.
"Cut through the the granite of the Sierra Nevadas so that travelers could reach California from the East, Donner Pass has become widely known as one of the most perilous mountain routes in the world. It wasn’t always called Donner Pass — It was named that after a group of westward-bound pioneers in 1846 who found the trail blocked by snow. They were forced to try and survive the winter in the eastern shadow of the mountains — only half of them did, many of them having eaten the dead for survival.
Louis Pilloni, A.J. Haiby, Jimmy Riha, Micah Green, and Jackson Shapiera came from all over the world to make a run through the pass together, and it’s a high-speed chase that seems only slightly less dangerous than spending a winter without food. “While the scenery is beautiful, Donner Pass will eat you alive with the cracks trying to toss you off your skateboard,” said Pilloni.
Miles of steep, winding roads lace their way through the mountains, creating a scenic but treacherous path to the west. As they race downhill, traveling a total of 2.4 miles at a top speed of 50 mph, they'll thread their way down an overall elevation change of 2,000+ feet." - Red Bull
