It's all those little things....

So we were a bit limited in the bits & pieces we ordered originally so we took the liberty of correcting that & filled out some more options for you when setting up your ride.

Rise up:
Apart from the .016" risers we originally had, we've now brought in .062" (1.5mm), 1/8th" (3mm) & 3/16th" (5mm) risers too.



Cup, Screw & Roll:
We've got some cupped bushing washers in finally! Ideal for helping limit turn on topmounts prone to wheelbite & avoiding over steer in downhill situations.
While we had loose kingpins we didn't have any nuts, doh, now sorted, sold by the piece.
Last but not least, Biltin bearings, getting a hold of these when we ordered from Abec11 was impossible as they were sold out! But thanks to some more production runs we have a handful in stock, best bearings I've ever ridden, the sole reason I'll never bother with 10mm axles trucks is that I can't ride Biltins on them, hahaha.


Not so little things:
We have a couple of completes on the site already with more to come, check out the Bustin Maestro freestyle/freeride setup & a Rayne Nemesis downhill freeride ripper!


It's all kicking off!!!!

Kebbek Max Erwin 2011 & Isaac's Test hill, London



Phew, had a blast filming this but I was knackered walking back up afterwards!
the Max Erwin's a great board for freeriding & speed, I'll get a video review up in the next few days if I can.
Can't give the peeps at Kebbek enough props for putting this much effort into all their boards.

You can find it on our site here & if you're after a complete shoot us a message on facebook or via e-mail (enquiries (at) newtons-shred.co.uk)

Kebbek 2011 range arrives.... like over a month ago, whopps!

So there we were, sitting on our yacht twiddling our thumbs when the Butler called up on the satelite phone & said a delivery had turned up, I was like, "sweet"

After a few delays with UPS we'd finally gotten a hold of our Kebbek 2011 order that we'd placed MONTHS ago, but I can say it's worth the wait for sure, admittedly getting this blog post up has been hella slow too!

Click here to view our entire Kebbek Range

The only boards we didn't get were the Comishin & Kootenay, all other models (available to order at the time) we now have in stock & we have placed an order for John Barnet & Niko models also.

Noteworthy this year:

28" Wheelbase options from stock on the Switchback (28-29.5"), Rookie (28-30.5") & Smoothcut37 (28")


Revenger redesign!
Now 30" stock wheelbase & shorter length.


Underflush changes
Erwin now has no underflush, Daddow has 1 ply less underflushed than 2010 model.


Still Awesome!
The Hairpin & JimZ are still the same specs, but with some sicker graphics this year!


Limited stock on previous models
Stock on these boards is very limited, we have 15th Anniversay 2007-08 Revenger, with the 32" wheelbase, Ideal for those coming from a lowered board with a larger wheelbase to get used to topmounts on. We also have a couple of 2010 JimZ left as well, same as the 2011 model except for the grapic & a cheaper price ;)


We're proud to stock Kebbek boards, after having been riding them for nearly 3 years I know pretty much each model fairly well having spent time on them or similar mould options, we can do completes to your exact taste, or if you keep your eyes open we'll have some preconfigured ones on the site ready to go.

Keep up the great work Kebbek, 2010 was great to see them back on manufacturing form & the 2011 model graphics are absolutely amazing.
