what makes Hiro unique is most of the longboard brands out there focus on trying to add more features to their boards there's a lot of them that now have battery packs their electric their motorized they have different kinds of trucks Hiro took the approach of creating something that's incredibly simplistic and very authentic the deck of the here longboard is two parts it's a deck which is you typically think of a deck for a longboard and then it's also a spine the deck is a composite material it's FRP fiberglass which is the same material that's used in skyscrapers it's used to replace I beams the spine is about 2 inches wide and a quarter inch thick and it runs the length of the trucks on the underside of the board and what it allows us to do is create an incredibly thin deck while allowing the board to still be very rigid one of the other really unique properties of FRP is it allows the rider to feel flex not only horizontally and vertically but also diagonal so it allows the board to actually twist as somebody's carving or cutting dining for something that you don't get with a typical maple world each deck is hand-finished in southern california through a process that involves a lot of sanding and shaping everything is hand drilled it's hand inspected the grip tape is hand laid the trucks that were using on hero are 180 millimeter wide reverse kingpin we put custom urethane bushings in there so they pop back out of a turn more quickly than some of the standard bushings we tested a number of bearings anywhere from a vector3 de Becque nine the ones that we ended up going with we're actually not given a specific ABEC rating instead they're automotive grade bearings in a number of tests that we put the bearings through as far as coasting distance carving durability resistance to grit the ones that we went with ended up outperforming anything else that we tried by about 20 percent these ones also have hard plastic ritual ow to some extent you to go through gravel and dust and sand without affecting the performance of the very took us about nine months to hand select each component of the hero because we wanted to make sure that every aspect met certain criteria in regards to quality performance for those of you out there don't know what a slide Punk is it's basically a piece of plastic that longboarders velcro to their gloves in order to protect their hands will slide the mission behind our company is simple we sought out to maximize the potential of the slide book we recognized a common problem between long borders the task of having to carry around these schedules of them we solve this problem by combining the simple slide book and escape tool we looked at this piece of equipment and we asked ourselves how can you make this the ultimate slide book well the first thing we did is we embedded a steel socket in the center to fit the kingpin nut on your longboard so you never have to use a skate tool to adjust your trucks ever again the second most important thing is that the puck is made of UHMW polyethylene now this plastic is self lubricating so it always creates a layer of oil between itself and the pavement so that it will actually out wear steel and it'll out where every other plastic on the market also the edges of our puck are highly beveled all the way down to the base so that as your Punk shaves down you'll still have an angle to protect the puck from catching on cracks in the pavement and being ripped off your hand finally our industrial-strength velcro is glued on by hand with an incredibly strong resin adhesive instead of the sticky back velcro that other slide box uses I always find in a problem with em to carry around my two legs skate but with these new pugs makes it easy going his tables my mom what's up guys it's Pablo from a drowning that's Gage and about the Meraki scheduled sidewalk I think it's a very unique idea I think everybody's going to love it you're gonna love it just because it's it's something that were always asking everybody for in schedule nobody's got one you can have everything your own my pocket I think it's awesome yes like Redondo you hi Kickstarter our

indestructible with a long-term resistance that is 5% better than that of VTR and 70% better than wood all details are made to guarantee the perfection and an extremely low use consumption with an impressive shock resistance this board is built for life and doesn't suffer impact therefore the board comes with a three-year warranty outperforming the whole market and at an incredible discounted price just for you the AB core give us free substantial improvements when compared to all monolithic materials used until today on boards best flexural rigidity existing on the market less weight and top sturdiness our technology gives to you a unique personality and style that everybody can immediately identify so enjoyed in the city with our urban version and in the extreme downhill with our rock th version now it's your turn to sustain us thanks hi I'm Ross I'm Cody and I'm rod and we started a project called concrete native and we've created a backpack specifically designed to carry long boards so four years ago my brother and I refused around our local campus got to the bomb of bombing a hill walking back up like man it's great to have a longboard backpack drop back home search the web couldn't find anything so we decided why not let's make our own with this bag idea in place we went home and we cut two backs completely apart and put them back together we knew that one works over the past three years we've worked with companies in California and in Oregon and we finally found a prototyping bag that we're comfortable with all the features so to go over some of the key features of the bag first and foremost is the strap system we created a strap system specifically designed to carry a longboard once we did this we actually realized it holds a regular skateboard and a snowboard better than any other bag on the market on top of that we've added two straps at the base of the bag that hook around your bottom trucks any longboard longer than 40 inches this is going to help stabilize your board on the bag all the straps in this bag are hideaway so if you're not carrying the board you can hide them and your bag just looks like a typical backpack we also added an abrasion resistant material at the front of the bag so your grip tape doesn't scratch your bag up on top of that this bag has everything feature you'd expect from a quality backpack we have pockets to hold your phone iPod skate tool and anything else has a fleece line sunglass pocket water bottle pocket we've added a laptop sleeve a padded back ergonomic back straps and we have a sternum strap so what we need from you guys is your support all the one you give us is going straight to the manufacturer to backpack donate get some cool stuff and let's get spotted for the people suburbs you
