Yes its that time of year, its “Go Skate Day” Here in Tahoe we’re trying to have everyone Skate to Work that day…Save the planet, ollie a pot hole, and arrive at work in a good mood. Transpertation can be fun, so join us on “Go Skate Day and Skate to work Too.

Watch and learn about Road Awareness and a couple safety tips to help you when your skateboarding. Louis Piloni and Jeff Budro give you examples of what to do and what not to do when longboarding…Respect the privilege to ride and we can change the stereotype that Skaters destroy their environment.

Filmed in March 2010, Flat Top demonstrates some fun new ideas he is working on. Filmed in Hollywood, CA. moving and grooving, Loaded continues to be the number one company that produces really great promotional videos. So once again the Shoreline of Tahoe blog pays tribute to the filmers and skaters at Loaded carving systems.

The skateboarder’s longboard, the Assault is ideal for around town or campus. We incorporate additonal fiberglass in the kick-tail, making it functional while leaving the platform slightly softer. While short in length, it is smooth and stable. Using 150mm trucks and our 72mm/78a wheels gives you plenty of grip and forgiveness riding over cracks and rocks but the Assault is also extremely agile. Truly the best of both worlds!

The 43″ Concept is a modern pintail with a mellow concave and medium flex. The large foot platform towards the nose makes for a responsive ride that is also easy on the feet. This super smooth cruiser can get you around town as easily as it will handle high speed switch-backs. Includes 180mm trucks and NS 72mm/78a wheels.

Since the Sidewinder trucks sit a bit high off the ground we decided to lower the board. To do this we use a flush mount drop through technique whereby the truck is assembled around the deck with the baseplate set into a recess on top of the board. This brings the board down to a more standard level while still allowing the trucks to perform their magic.
