When we were introduced to Rotule in the latter months of 2010, this was the board that convinced us to bring them on board. The design of the Rotule Speed Karrot longboard skateboard deck is great for downhill freeride and high speed downhill riding thanks to the nicely dropped platform and the tray-esque concave. The drop in the deck is fairly sharp, giving you all the benefits of the drop platform without sacrificing as much footspace as other boards. This second generation Speed Karrot longboard deck is constructed with a powerful adhesive that will resist de-lamination more effectively than most drop platform boards. Combine that with two layers of carbon fiber and you've got yourself the one of the strongest drop platform decks available today. Rotule knows what they're doing, and this board proves it.
Set the Rotule Speed Karrot up with some Caliber 50 Cal Longboard Trucks and some Venom Tweaker wheels and prepare the towels, 'cause you're about to get drenched in gnar-sauce. If you prefer the higher speed of things, get some 42° Randal trucks and some 72mm Sector 9 Race Formula wheels and hit the high slopes for some high speed fun.
Randal longboard skateboard downhill trucks are 100% engineered right here in the United States. There are very few truck companies that have the privilege to say that. Randals are made with Virgin Grade Aluminum which makes each Randal longboard skateboard truck is built strong and built to last. The angle of geometry is 50 degrees making it a stable truck under speed, but can be easily converted into an amazing around the town cruising truck that most longboarders put on underneath their boards.
Randal Longboard Skateboard Trucks come stock with a ghost "Barrical" (barrel/conical) bushing. We always recommend that you customize your bushings to fit you weight, riding style, and discipline. Remember that bushings are the suspension under your skateboard, therefore very important. We would suggest that you try Venom or Khiro Bushings for your new Randal Downhill longboard skateboard trucks. Try Barrels for Downhill and Tall Cones for carving and crusing. You can also use and combination of barrel and cone for your longboard.
The Gravity Drifter longboard skateboard wheels are a good wheel for those of us interested in getting the most bang for our buck. Because these wheels are side set, the 70mm Gravity Drifter longboard wheel will fit on a drop through longboard skateboard like the Gravity Makai or Kalai as well as on a top mount cruiser such as the Gravity Spoon Nose. If wheelbite has been a problem in the past, these wheels are the solution to your problems. Word on the streets is that these wheels make a great freeride wheel, too! Inexpensive, grippy, and smooth, these wheels will definitely put a smile on your face.

It's definitely the best value that you are going to find. We agree with skateboarders all over the world that Bones Reds are the best low price quality bearings skateboarding has to offer.
