Jug Billy O'Neill
Skate legend Billy “Fish” O’Neill, who is one of the most looked up to skaters in rolling ever, was honoured with the ultimate reward a skater can receive – his own pro model. Fish’s first pro shoe is made of genuine Nubuck leather with leather lining, rubber outsole and super comfortable insole and padding.
Jug Haffey shoe
Chris Haffey’s second Jug pro shoe is made of the finest materials money can buy: Genuine Nubuck leather on the upper, soft pig skin on the inside, high rebound PU material for the insole and a wear resistant rubber for the outsole is setting the bar for sneakers a few notches higher. The Haffey LT features waxed laces with metal tips, a second pair of black laces in the box and an image of Chris’s tattoo on the insole.
loaded tan tien longboard
”The most anticipated board of 2010”
Driven by progressive longboarding as explored by Loaded’s riders, the Tan Tien manifests the desire to develop new tricks and engage new riding styles. From its foot-locking concave, drop-thru truck mounting and pumpable camber, to its responsive nose and tail kicks, the Tan Tien blends carve oriented longboarding with advanced trick riding. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns, popping tricks, and powering through slides. With the woven bamboo bottom and the funky grip design the Tan Tien is easy on the eyes. But you’ll need to ride this board to truly fathom its potential.
Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers as well as nose and tail kicks. The nose and tails are reinforced with an extra layer of fiberglass for added stiffness and strength without compromising the responsiveness and energy of the central camber. DropThru cutouts are CNC milled for precision. This is the most complex board we’ve built to date and we hope you will appreciate the subtle beauty of the form. The boards come pregripped with an aggressive black griptape designed to provide maximum coverage while allowing the board to flex naturally. This is our first foray
in years into traditional grip tape (albeit grippier to match the needs of this board) and we went with this because it provides enhanced traction and control for sliding and pumping, as well as creating a serious “lock-in” on the nose and tail.
Deck only price is £159, complete set ups from £259. Available HERE!!!
We have added another must have Longboard brand to the range at Born Extreme……. LUSH LONGBOARDS.
This is what Lush say about themselves and we believe them!!. They have already shown us what a great product they have and what an awesome service they provide.
Lush Longboards ltd is 100% skater owned and operated, unlike a lot of other longboard companies out there. This means several things:
- We know how annoying it is when you order shiny new stuff to play with and it doesn’t turn up on time. So we put a lot of work into our customer service, making sure your new toys arrive as soon as possible and sorting problems out as fast as we can.
- All our boards, from the Kuni right up to the Revolution, whatever their price point, benefit from our (and our riders) skating experience. We have spent a lot of time over the years figuring out what hardware works on what setup, and we’ve done a lot of mixing and matching to get every board as good as we can for the price.
- We care about the scene, and spend a lot of time promoting and supporting riders, clubs, forums, events, websites, magazines and all the stuff that brings people who share our love of skating big skateboards together. We want the same thing as you – more people to skate with, more closed hills for us to bomb, more opportunities to meet new folk and have fun. Support us and we’ll support you!
The Boards have evolved over the years, developed on the streets, parks and hills of Sheffield and epic downhill runs in the Derbyshire Peak District, the Alps, Pyrenees and whole load of other places to encompass every style of riding from street, sliding, park and bowls, to pure carving, surf style, cruising to the shops and all-out downhill speed.
- The Globe series runs from 33″ to 41″ – perfect for the style based street, sliding, bowl and park rider. These board are loaded with rider input for a fun and functional ride.
LUSH GLOBE SLIDE 36 inch
- The heart of the range, the Carve series includes models for commuting, cruising, carving and slashing your way around the black-top, headed by the flagship Kilima, Kisiwa and Samba – each tuned for a highly specific ride. 28″ to 55″. This range is so diverse that there’s got to be something in here for you…
LUSH SAMBA LONGBOARD
- The Race series is comprised of three decks designed for the ultimate ride. High-end custom layups, well-researched (read “thrashed”) deck shapes and an eye for detail are a product of our riders having a free-reign in the shaping of these decks, bringing design input from all races and freerides over the world. No compromises and designed by people who really know what they’re doing.

Loaded Tan Tien
The loaded Tan Tien is the newest edition to the Loaded
lineup. It was described to me as a scaled down dervish that is easier
to maneuver. I believe its called the Tan Tien because it allows the
rider a greater center of balance. Tan Tien is a chinese term for the
energy center of a person. This board is like a mini Dervish but with a
few sweet changes. This board will feature a shorter wheelbase and
standing platform making sliding that much easier as well as tight
carves. Smaller shape also means lighter and easier to push and commute
with. Another change is that the board will feature more functional
nose and tail shapes than the Dervish. This will make locking in
manuals/shovits/pivots so much easier as well as popping the board into
your hand for crazy tiger claw variations.
The Tan Tien is 39″ in length with a 27″ wheelbase, and is designed to
work with 180mm reversed kingpin trucks and 70mm wheels. Ride on!
