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.

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.”

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.

Kelly was born in a small Florida town called Cocoa Beach on February 11, 1972. This is where he grew up and learned how to surf together with his two brothers–older, Sean Slater and younger, Stephen Slater. Kelly has traveled the world but he still considers home where he learned how to surf at Sebastian Inlet. Slater is arguably the best competitive surfer ever. He has won an amazing nine world titles, five of which were consecutive, and is showing no signs of letting up. The Arbor Collective is proud to have Slater on the team and to offer his new pro model skateboard. He has earned the right to be named with some of the greatest athletes of all time such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Tony Hawk, Babe Ruth and so on.
