The Longboard Trader

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Many customers have mentioned that they need to sell their old longboards before purchasing a new one, so we decided to let users take advantage of our large viewer base and launched The Longboard Trader. The site works very similar to Craigslist, in that users are contacted by an anonymous email form, and then the transaction is negotiated between the lister and buyer. The Longboard Store often receives over 20,000 visitors per day, so there’s a very good chance of sellingĀ  longboard related items on the trader site. Best of all, this service is completely free.

The State of Longboarding Spring 2008

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Dear fellow longboarders…[by the way, this is our version of the state of the union address]. The state of longboarding is very strong. Despite fears of a recession in the US economy and high fuel costs, citizens are still reveling in America’s new past-time, longboarding. Not to mention that longboards run on a couple slices of pizza and a cold bear [hmm, gives me an idea for a new study]. We have seen near 4 times the traffic on our website over this time last year, and we receive emails from new longboard companies every week. The bounty of longboarding products is growing. Until next time, happy traveling.

New Comet Longboards

A new shipment of Comet Longboards just rolled in this week. We are especially excited about the 40″ Crystal Chalice and 45″ Crystal Mountain. It’s not very apparent from the photos, but these puppies are pure environmental tech. They begin with a core of vertically laminated bamboo, add a layer of tri-axial hemp fiber using soy resins, and then cap both sides off with maple veneer. We are working on embedding a video of Comet Skateboards Factory that aired on The Discovery Channel, but here is the link to the video on their site for now.
