Here's a little cut I spliced together from a run I did with Marcin down part of Bear's Guts & the KNK Freeride earlier this year, put on by Longboard Magazin in Slovenia.
It's a fun track with loads of hairpins, a funny tarmac that grips in a way I've not felt any others before.
To top it of the days were hot & the last runs where you were almost blinded heading into left handers were some of the best, if not just for the view.
Watch in fullscreen & 720p if you can:
Look forward to going back to Slovenia, freeride or not, the people are great & so are the mountains, just don't go off any corners eh ;)

Jamie's Puck
french Butter !!
Never thought i would love those pucks so much!
Very smooth and fast when sliding.
Good for Dh and quick tech slide.
Not like other pucks, they will not stick to the pavement they will slide like butter.
have been testing them for few months now and i have not started to wear them down.
Jamie is not only Newton's Shred Team rider (hard wheels division)he has a lot of great invention under his red beard.
Isaac say : like your locals.

September Events, UK Style
There's a couple of events this September in the UK that you should check out,
we're sorry about not re-posting much about the Bristol Board Meeting, doh!
It was a blast though, pushed best part of 14 miles on my Erwin with some Gumballs then hit Shiner Hill with some Powerballs, aka 78a Classic Freerides.
1st up is some Downhill fun in Wales, being run by Turn360
Check out the facebook page here for more details, it's been described as Bo Peep but with more corners!
2nd is another Distance skate in aid of good cause, the Isle Of Wight Skate 2.
This is being run by the XSS crew
This 2 day event includes camping & skating around the Isle in aid of the Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance which need donations to maintain their services as best as possible.

New Kebbeks added to the line up!
My my,
it was only 2010 when I met John tearing it up at Almabtrieb & just over a year later he's got his own model on Kebbek after finding the Erwin a tad too large for him, he's not the biggest of guys!
We've also added the Niko Desmarais pro model to our catalogue also, hailing from the same mould as the Barnet, it sports minor inflection on the tail where the Barnet's kicks usually start.
Kami describes this as a Nemesis & an Elise cross breed, can't say he's half wrong!
Niko recently took 5th place at the Winsport Canada Cup, which was viewed by thousands of people worldwide thanks to an online broadcast.

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.
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!!!!
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.

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.
