The full VS boards range will be available in Oz in June. European riders have had the chance to ride the boards even earlier since most boards were delivered in April/May in Europe. The range includes the Mitch Rawlins boards (Jarrod Gibson designed), the Ryan Hardy Boards (Todd Quigley designed) and the PLC boards (Dan Sivess designed).
We tested the Hardy PP crescent tail 41.75 board for Sponger City and it’s an awesome board! We’ll post the test online ASAP.
Check and download the whole range on PDF format here: VS Catalogue.

Sounds like a geek title hey! We’ve been working for a while on the Version 2.0 of Spongercity.com and here you go. Small changes in appearence but massive re-design and coding was involved this time. As a result:
- the RSS feed URL adress for News changed, so make sure you delete the old one you had and bookmark the new one: NEW RSS FEED adress
- the RSS feed adress for Comments also changed: NEW RSS FEED adress
- If you downloaded the Spongercity Widget (Mac OS X users), make sure to download and install the updated version of the Spongercity Widget, otherwise the News Titles wont work anymore in the previous version of the Widget.
That’s it. Now your all set up!
The Podcast adress and Videos Feed adress haven’t changed, so no worries for those who subscribed.
