Hogtoberfest!

Once again, Newton's-Shred are proud to be sponsoring another great event at Hog Hill this month. Hogtoberfest is a weekend of downhill/freeride fun, slalom competition, camping and the infamous mini-moto challenge.
 
 We're going to have a stall on the hill so you can come and get your grubby mitts on some product, try our tester boards or even order online prior (we can't bring everything!) then pick up on the day to ensure we have what you want.

 New additions this year include a bouncy castle and “slide bowling” so extra carnage is predicted!

 We hope you're all as stoked as we are for this, see you on the hill!

 You can register here and get all the details you need on times, location, safety etc.
 Here is our facebook event where you can ask us to bring specific products to the event.
 And finally, here is the official Hogtoberfest facebook event

Have you noticed the New "Special Offer" section under "New arrivals" drop down tab ? If not you should because some big specials going on this month. We will have "Special Offers" every month, so watch this space!

G-Form

I've tried body armour from many other companies. Before G-form I used plastic padding and other traditional foam. I’m not going to go in the scientific terms because to be honest I don’t care, all I care about is how those pads are after a many months of skateboarding.

My first impression when I received was “Fuck, I can’t believe all that can fit in one envelope and so light too.” I decided to try them straight out of the box and they feel like you are not wearing any protection; even the crash shorts fit under my skinny jeans.
My first ride with them was at my local hill in Southend, nothing amazing but I wanted to try them in the hot weather of England (28c) I had the the knees, elbows and the crash shorts . I never felt so comfortable and for 5 hours I forgot I had them on. If you worry about pads sliding down; not with these pads! They stayed in place and not once I had to re-adjust. But at the end of the session I knew that wasn't the real test.

2 weeks later at the IGSA Bo-Peep and I was determined to give the pads a real test in carnage corner.I fitted the knees, elbows, shins, crash short and the protective compression shirt under my leather and Man the pad don’t restrict your mobility and are very flexible even when you're tucking. But what really matters is do they really work when you crash at speed? I'm sure you all see the videos of some guy testing  the pads (IF NOT CLICK HERE) but i  wanted to make my own opinion and hell yeah, they work; I crashed few time and you can really feel the soft foam getting harder when impacted.

The bad side of these pad are if you are planning to go fast and ride with Duncan (and you know in the first place it’s a wrong idea to ride with him because 80% of the time he makes you crash!) These pads will not slide like traditional knee pads and will slide out from your knee, I really advise to wear the knee pads under a jeans if you are planning to go fast or your leathers. Any slow freeride (<30mph) the pad will stay in place and protect you but will not slide. 

Check out at 1.55 what's happen when you ride with Ducan...

Sabre CF38 baseplate

Sabre CF38 baseplate Review:

As I’m sure you’ve seen, Sabres new CF38 baseplates are a bit different to what some of the other truck manufacturers are putting out at the moment.  For a start they are cold forged rather than CNC’d or cast. This allows them to be both stronger and lighter than a fully CNC’d truck while remaining just as precise due to the pivot and kingpin holes being CNC machined after forging, and also means that they cost less. It’s a win win situation, and as of yet Sabre are the only longboard truck to offer a forged baseplate.

The other slightly different thing about the CF38 is its angle which at 38 degrees is lower than you might be used too. This low angle ensures that the truck is very stable and solid at speed ( I’ve had mine around 60mph with no issues) as well as giving you great amounts of lean, and lean feels really good! Forget the ‘low angle = no turn’ idea and try out some of these trucks.  I have yet to see somebody try them who hasn’t been impressed by the way they feel.

 Oh, and another thing, these trucks use a ‘drop up’ system, which gives you a great range of height adjustability. You can run them dropped up on a drop through board, which gives you a feeling similar to that of a very low top mount. Or you can use the riser system (included with the baseplate) to use them as a standard top mount truck. 

I have been riding mine for a few months now and have ridden them at Kozakov challenge, KNK, Giostekka,

Vandem Freeride, and for a week in Switzerland, and there 100% isn’t a truck I’d rather have been on.
