Bombardier Longboards

Bombardier Longboards create a unique range of hand-crafted longboard decks and completes that are individually made from quality materials and finished to the highest possible standards. Our aim is simply to offer a quality alternative to the factory made products sold for far greater prices in the local skate shops.

We currently have six standard deck shapes with variations that include cambered or flat configurations. The decks are built from either marine grade ply or bamboo and fibreglass. Each is individually laminated and then hand shaped and sanded.

The hand made nature of the boards ensures that each one is unique and these can be further enhanced and customised with our range of top quality imported trucks and wheels. These include ABEC11, Randal, Seismic, Bennett and Tracker, though we can order many other brands.

Within the limits of our current skills we have also produced a number of one-off custom boards for customers.

If you wish to discuss a purchase or custom build please don't hesitate to contact the Bombardier team or visit our website.

Bear grizzly trucks

I have smuggled a small bag of my new favorite truck into the country to hook you guys up with some sweet, well cast, deep carving, flip them to bomb, goodness at a decent price!

The Grizzly`s have been designed to be the benchmark in longboarding trucks. A better, more exact fit and finish than other brands as it is gravity fed die cast in Canada. The axle is 181mm wide, providing a nice stable stance. The Grizzly`s come armed with red Khiro bushings, a barrel on the bottom and a large insert on top.

Grizzly`s will come set up to carve. Carve as hard as you want with more precision and control than ever before, they are super rad carving trucks.(57 degree angle).

When it comes time to start bombing and racing your friends, flip the hanger and you have a wickedly competitive down hill speed truck (The 47 degree angle paired with the 181mm hanger width makes for a super stable speed truck).

How dose this flipping measurement work? Well, the bushing seat is recessed in the hanger, and the bushing seat and pivot nub are angled. So from the middle of the pivot cup to the middle of the axle is 57 degrees for carving and flipped for downhill it is 47 degrees.

Thats what the landyachtz has to say about their trucks... but i have to back it up as i am a totally digging the ride on both my dropped speedboard as well as on my caving/surfstyle decks.

They will cost only $125+shipping a pair for any member of www.neednotollie.com and for each pair sold i will donate $20 back to need not ollie to start a prize/race/whatever fund.

email me on jestah@neednotollie.com with an order and I'll send you the details!
