FP Skateboards

 

High performance handmade composite skateboards.

 

 

Are you sick of mass produced skateboards? Are you sick of the manufacturers claims of stiffness and lightness and when you get the board it weighs a ton and has uninspired saggy flex and the dreaded torsional flex?

 

 So were we, That’s why we have created the 2012 FP High Performance Skateboards range. Boards designed for serious riders who demand quality. These are not toys. Built first and foremost to perform.

 

 Since the dawn of time skateboard and longboard builders everywhere have been striving to build light stiff and durable boards. Many have tried and many have failed. Some have succeeded but at the expense of cost or durability, for example carbon fibre foam core boards.

 

 Here at FP Skateboards we believe we have found the winning formula of materials that provides this combination. Our boards are constructed with a mixture of materials that are exclusive to FP Skateboards. So exotic and amazing are these materials that we have to keep them a secret, ssshhh!

 

 What makes lightweight boards so awesome? They carry less momentum. This means they require less effort from the rider to break out, drift and manoeuvre. Response from the board is increased, requiring less rider input. Slides become easy and controllable, giving you the confidence to hit every corner at 110%.

The Royale.

 

The Royale is a full on DH racing topmount. The layup features twin carbon fibre stringers. These stringers combined with the other materials come together to create a board that is ultra stiff , extremely durable and very light. The Royale can be compared to carbon fibre foam core boards in terms of performance but comes without the hefty price tag. The ultra stiff racing flex provides stability and confidence at speed. Response from this board is instant and unrivalled. The generous tub concave is complimented with a mellow trapezoidal W that extends from the back trucks to just behind the front foot.

N.S.F.

 

Evolved from the Royale comes the N.S.F. a symmetrical topmount freeride board. It features a shorter wheelbase but the same generous tub concave, with the trapezoidal W running the length of the foot platform, so its there whenever you need it. We’ve also dialled in a bit of flex for the N.S.F, but it’s still extremely firm and responsive. Large routed wheel wells ensure zero wheelbite.  Mind bogglingly light.

No sorry Lucas. Any new prototypes will most likely be tested and refined by our team riders Raine and Caspian

hey steve just out of curiosity i was looking back on the forum and wondered will u be selling any more prototype's any time soon? like the one of u build testing things off. 

Hi Steve, I was going to write somewhat of a review on the Royale I purchased a few weeks ago but in all honesty, I CBF. All I have to say is that this board is AWESOME!!! I was somewhat worried about the size of the W & thought it may hhave been a bit too big but after the first few runs it felt soooo nice. The only problem is that it looks so pretty, I don't want to hurt it.

It's currently set-up with 44cals, tektons & some 70mm 80a S9 raceforms until I decide what wheels I want to put on there.

All in all, great board, Thank you

Sweet thankyou James, glad your enjoying it! but I gotta say that chrome logo looks shit in that photo, should have stuck with the red   ;-) , I know, its just a reflection of the light...

Nice set up too mate



Yeah, the chrome is a prick of a thing to take a pic of but meh, I like it. I've got a LY Switch that's all white & red & couldn't get another board in the same colour. 

hey man i looking to buy within the next 2 months, is the new topmount likely to be released soon? i know you probably got nothing to tell me but thanks anyway. also sorry for being really annoying.

Thought I'd share this. I was able to fit 77mm Centrax under the Royale with 44cals & shock pads, No riser. Gotta love those wheel wells.

Get in quick, 1st come 1st served.

Hey Steve, I'm pretty keen on the light blue R18. Just a quick question though, It looks a little narrower than the black one, is it?

Hey Uan!

It kind of is and isn't. I know that doesn't make sense.

It has rounded rails so its effectively slightly narrower but its exactly the same width as the black R18 next to it which has sharp rails

Cheers Steve

Thought that might have been the case.

Looks awesome, might have to pull the trigger.

Message me details and I'll sort out some coin for you.
