Here’s the latest and greatest from our latest session at Alpental in Washington State, edited by teamrider Trevor Preston. You’ll love the beginning! Other teamriders that were there included Spencer Smith, Chip Wooden, Kyle Stopsen and Jerica Green. Music is by Cut Chemist called “The Garden”, be sure to support their music on I-Tunes.
You can also check it out in our longboard video gallery.
We just got a big shipment of 10mm Munkae Trucks from the Downhill Dragon Clan. What I love is the wide variety of colors they have available. You can either pick from what we have in stock or you can let us know what you want and we’ll order it up for you. Keep in mind that with these 10mm axles you will need 10mm bearings but luckily they’ll only run you about $16 (or for ceramic 10mm bearings, $52).
Here’s what Seattle local longboarder Barrett had to say about his new pair of Munkaes:
“They have lots of agility, a quick response, good articulation and great leverage. The traction they provide going around corners is like a whole different sport. They’re awesome and I’ve been loving riding them.”
Since Munkaes come stock with venoms, at least you won’t have to spend any extra to upgrade your bushings. They have a 42.25 degree baseplate and are like a cross between Bear Smokies and Kahalanis. Josh Rolf, the mastermind behind Munkaes, recommends that the kingpin go through the bottom of the baseplate. This helps reduce damage to the thru hole due to heavy turning and road vibrations. Threads will eat a hole in aluminum in a hurry.

Motion Boardshop specializes in kiteboarding, longboarding, and standup paddleboarding but we have other cool products like skimboards, indo boards, mountainboards, and gopro video cameras. I thought a good product to highlight in our first blog is the new MOBO T-Shirt! It’s a limited edition downhill longboard graphic designed by our teamrider Spencer Newman.
