Arbor's Josh Hunt laying it down on the Arbor
Assualt.
Arbor s most advanced downhill design, the Assault <http://www.arborcollective.com/skate/boards/view/409926/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.
Arbor Assault
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.
