We’ll review this video ASAP.

Toys recruts young dk ripper Dylan Lee

Toys boards Australia has recruted young dk rider Dylan Lee. Dylan is probably the next big thing since Roach (watch the few waves he’s got in INSERT NAME HERE by the Waldron Bros. and you’ll understand why). We’ve never seen someone his age riding with such a good style and knee control.

Boards enhancements anyone ? dvd and threads maybe ?

Ok, so we’re back in business, and sadly also back from indo where we had a great time. It’s been pretty inspiring to see and ride with the NMD and VS crew in Bali the last couple weeks. I’m sure the Waldron Bros will have insane footage from the crew very very soon.

Anyway, while scanning the world wide web and our email box for tasty news to feed our readers with, we found out that we forgot to talk about a couple new boards enhancement and industry news.

To start with if you’re in oz, make sure you log on Qcdboards.com and check Todd and Jarrod’s new Black Label limited edition stock boards. They look pretty damn good.

Nomad has recently introduced a cool innovation to they boards core, it’s called “Engineered Flex Core”. From what we read it’s basically a core that has 3 flat stringers in it, the stringers being “encased inside the core during its manufacture”. The core seems to be made specifically for bbing, unlike classic PE or PP blanks that are usually not made specifically for bbing but for heaps more industries. Anyway, log on the Nomad site to read more and check the tech graphic to see what we’re talking about.

Last but not least Science is also innovating in 2008 with a new LTD range of boards, including the new Thomas Robinson board and MS1 board, using a special deck material called “Compression Cell” to reduce the impact on landings. Here’s a preview of the MS1 board.

The I AM NONE guys have been busy working on a new movie called THRASH, which should be another great DVD, considering how good VIDEO and ROAM where… Check the THRASH website here and the teaser here.

Grand Flavour just updated they website with a new winter 08 range, which looks cooler than ever. Peep the whole range here on the site.

New NF line out

The new Nofriends USA line is out and it looks pretty good. Check it out here: Nofriends.com.

Other than that no crazy news this week, we are in Indo for a few weeks anyway. We ll try to shoot a pics if we score…

Coming next on spongercity.com is the AGENT WETSUITS review mid-may, as well as the VS Rawlins review, the latest Waldron Bros dvds reviews, plus interviews and more, so stay tuned.
