Arbor Advances With An Assault
Posted on: April 25, 2010 by admin
This new fiberglass-reinforced, drop-through skateboard design provides the ultimate freeride experience with unmatched control and stability at speed.
Team rider Josh Hunt slides through on the new Assault.
Arbor’s most advanced downhill design, the Assault is a fiberglass reinforced, drop-through skateboard that’s built to deliver high-level speed, drift, and carve performance. The new Assault’s cambered, symmetrical shape is ideal for switch and slide management, while its flex provides an amazing level of rail-to-rail power with a phenomenally smooth ride. Added sidecut creates a centered stance and improves turn initiation. Expect stability, control, and return in a lightweight package.
“With the Assault, we set out to refine the shape of our new Axis skateboard deck and create the ultimate all-around freeride design,†says Arbor’s President, Bob Carlson. “We enhanced the materials and adjusted the specs to deliver a flex, wheelbase, and lightweight shape ideal for hardcore downhill freeriding. What we ended up with is the most responsive drop-through on the market, built with a completely unique fiberglass-reinforced lay-up.â€
The Assault is built with a combination of sustainably sourced maple and pre-cured fiberglass. The deck is finished with tip-to-tail Jessup grip tape that includes a die-cut logo. Completes come Arbor’s new 72mm, 75A Durometer Slalom Series Wheels (made from sucrose-based bio-urethane), 9†Gullwing Chargers Trucks, ABEC 5 bearings, and recycled plastic risers. Complete Assaults are competitively prices at an MSRP of $249.50.

Hi! I just want to know what is the best board between the assault and the axis bamboo. I want to do some carving, some drift and a little bit of downhill but I also want to do some free ride .
great board worth the money oh by the way I WANT FREE ARBOR STUFF!!!!
Dude if you want to do some serious riding stick with the arbor assault i have had it for a while and its awesome its great for everything carving, free ride, sliding, tricks you name it i give the deck five stars if you don’t have it, get it! and i guarantee you will love it. I think the axis bamboo and the axis koa are more free ride decks im not sure if that answers your question but if it doesn’t elaborate oh by the way I WANT FREE ARBOR STUFF!!!

Arbor is CRAZY! Thier longboards are Sick! and so are thier designs! artists are top notch!
im tired of all the skulls on other boards, arbor keeps it clean while still keeping it real…
I want this board so bad, but any Arbor stuff will do…I WANT FREE ARBOR STUFF! Please.
Being ecofriendly and natural is what attracted me to Arbor as a brand in the first place. I am happy to support a company that cares about the earth and all it’s inhabitants.
I was looking at the Sizzler, a few months ago, as a gift for my ex, who moved to Australia without me. She is trying to overcome an eating disorder and said she needed the space that 9000 miles provides, but she isnt doing so well in her recovery, we talked about getting back together and I thought buying her a longboard, she’s 4′11”, so she can cruise the Gold Coast and develop some healthier habits, might be a good idea. I love her so much but Im too broke to even afford gas for my truck. I lost my job, had to move in with my parents and I couldnt keep my promise to move to Australia and bring her the dopest longboard I could find and be there for her. I feel like crap but there seems to be no quick answer. I’m not looking for pity but when I saw that the prize is exactly the board I was planning to buy for her I thought I should share my story and hope for the best. If I win, you could send the board directly to her instead of me because Im only doing this for her health and sanity…and love.
I WANT TO WIN FREE ARBOR STUFF!!!
