Welcome New Team Rider - Ant Duncalfe

We are pleased to announce that Ant Duncalfe has joined our extreme team of ethical board riders.

Ant D is a snowboarder based on the south coast of the UK and can be found most weekends in snow parks up and down the country. He’s been away for a while doing back to back summer and winter season’s of boarding overseas. We can’t wait to ride with him this year!

Here’s a few words from Ant himself:

I have just moved back to my homeland of the UK having been away for five years doing summer and winter season’s back to back taking advantage of every extreme sport under the sun.

I’ve been a keen snowboarder since my first season in Kitzbuhel, Austria and my passion, knowledge and skill have being growing ever since. I have shred seasons in Austria and France and look forward spreading Kamikaze’s earth positive boarding lifestyle and ethics.

Watch this space for more updates and pictures from Ant and fellow Kamikaze boarding Team Riders.

Marty McFly meets Tron with LED skateboard

1 Mar, 2011 Author: A Embling

LED-lit_skateboards
These days, it's becoming a somewhat cringeworthy phenomenon that companies add LED lighting to just about everything.
In the latest victim of tacky meets tech (or is it cool meets tech?), California-based skateboard company Flexdex is illuminating the skating scene with the light board. The flagship model, the Clear29 LT longboard, features a "clear as glass" polycarbonate frame, translucent wheels, and strips of LED lights powered by 9-volt batteries that run along key areas of the body (no mention of battery life). Gadgets and Gear sells the futuristic skateboard for $199 in blue, red, green, orange, and white.
Who'd want to rock this ride? A prepubescent hellion with a geeky side? Your inner (or real) child? Hard to tell.
After watching several demonstration videos, I'm not exactly sure if the Flexdex LED skateboard is the brightest option out there. The video below from Flexdex will undoubtedly inspire the use of fast forward. As you can see, this is no Tron light bike. I need atomic glow.
A little sleuthing and I discovered that Flexdex has a worthy competitor called the Photon Light Board, which is cheaper, brighter due to more LED lights, and comes in a wider selection of board styles.
Flexdex has hinted at new models coming this year, writing on its Facebook page that it is working on some redesigned lit-up boards.
Let the light board wars begin.
