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.

We first launched the RSS News Feed, then the Podcast and now we just developped a Widget for Mac users. The Spongercity Widget is the first of its kind in the boogie world and is even better than the RSS News feed if you’ve got a Mac computer. It’s gonna show you the 20 latest Spongercity News headlines on your Dashboard, all News headlines are clickable and you’ll be able to read the full articles on the spongercity blog or website once you’ve clicked them.
How it works ? How do you install it ?
- First, you click here: download the widget for Mac
- Then, you double-click on the SpongercityWidget.zip that you just downloaded
- And now you double-click on the spongercity widget icon that popped out of the zipped file. Just follow what your Mac computer says and enjoy the Widget on your dashboard!
Sorry PC users, this wonderful Widget only works for Mac users…
