Razor Genesys CB
Each rider gets just 5 hits to impress the judges. Prizes are for best over all rider and best trick. By there own admissions, the organisers/builders of the pool gap didn’t make it easy for skaters year. They even got a letter apologising in advance of the event saying it was tough for wakeskaters. This didn’t stop them pushing themselves and pulling off some sick s**t. Si Powell deserves a medal for carrying on riding after taking a bad fall.
Still the sun was out, the music was booming off the Relentless stage and the skaters were all well up for it.
Best overall rider and best trick went to Will Bradley for finishing with a front side board slide to big spin off.

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.
Razor Bambrick Skate
Razor Bambrick Skate
Don Bambrick’s first pro model is a special skate. Not only because of its unique denim blue colour but because of it’s amazing skating characteristics: Without a doubt, the Bambrick is the fastest sliding skate right out of the box. Being much closer to the soul because of the baseless skate concept, offers better balance through a lower center of gravity and makes it much easier to lock onto soul tricks. Alley op topsides feel way less of a chore than in traditional skates and it feels as if the soul is the exact bottom of your foot. The combination of the perfectly grooved backslide plate and Ground Control’s Featherlite frame create the perfect balance point for groove tricks, making it way easier to hold one footers like backslides and torques for longer more controlled grinds. The oversized heel pad decreases road shock and protects knees and ankles from impact pains during sessions. Other great features are its surprisingly light weight and the almost legendary durability and strength which provide full support even after months of skating.
Features:
- Baseless boot concept
- Replaceable soul frame, backslide plate and sliders
- Razors liner with tongue retention system and oversized high density padding
- Jug Gel Pad
- Razors 56/90A wheels
- GC Featherlite frame
- ABEC 5 bearings

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!
