Huntington Beach, CA - March 14, 2002 * – Abec 11 * has just unleashed its latest high performance longboard * wheel – the 70’s Flashback. The Flashbacks made their racing debut on March 3rd at the 2002 Red Bull * Downhill * Extreme (DHX) in Cape Town, South Africa *.
The DHX is an IGSA World Cup event and featured an International field of 185 of the most extreme downhill riders in the world. The 10,000 spectators trackside and millions who watched live television coverage witnessed the Flashbacks and Flywheels take 9 top 10 finishes in the Skateboarding and Streetluge events, with the Flashbacks taking the Gold Medal in Skateboarding.
The Flashback is the first Abec11 wheel based on the 24mm core. By combining more responsive and stable trucks * and high quality urethane * wheels * and hubs, today’s larger wheels have taken riders to a new level of confidence and control. The wider contact patch and high rebound urethane translates to smoothness, speed and good traction in the turns. According to the manufacturer, Flashbacks are being used for carving, cruising, speedboarding, buttboarding, GS (Giant Slalom *) and all types of longboarding.
