Powell Skateboards - Ligament Skateboard Decks Powell Skateboards -

LIGAMENT Technology

Advantages

* Greater pop for higher ollies

* Stiffer, longer lasting flex for increased board life

* The confidence that comes from knowing your deck will never break in two

* All the above at no extra cost

Good skaters are hard on boards. They don’t miss little tricks, they miss big ones, and they break decks. Sometimes they break themselves too. Powell has developed LIGAMENT™ technology for the Powell team after watching one of Jordan Hoffart’s especially nasty video slams at the bottom of a big rail gap.

LIGAMENT™ technology consists of inlaying three long strips of high strength polymeric strap into the middle of each Skateboard deck. These reinforcing straps are strong and flexible, like the ligaments that connect your muscles to your bones. Even when you break the board, the ligament straps will hold your deck together allowing you to ride out of it, instead of doing the groin-tearing splits.

LIGAMENT™ decks weigh the same as a 7-ply maple deck, but have more pop, stay stiff longer than ordinary boards, and prevent the deck from ever breaking into two pieces because of the the three ligaments in each one.

Powell LIGAMENT decks are manufactured by Skate One, in Santa Barbara, California. They combine our thirty-three years of skateboard manufacturing experience, the world’s finest materials, and Skate One’s new LIGAMENT™ technology to give you more pop, longer board life, and extra confidence when you go big. The Powell team gave LIGAMENT™ boards two thumbs up after months of testing. So much that we will be making all our Powell Skateboards with LIGAMENTS by the summer of 2009 because they are superior to a standard 7-ply, and we know any skater who has ever broken a board will appreciate LIGAMENT™ technology when it saves his/her groin.

Look for LIGAMENT™ on the rail of a Powell deck for greater pop, more confidence and increased board life.

Planet Eclipse SLS Ego Paintball Marker

The SLS has seen enhancements in three key areas:

- A new SL3 In-Line Regulator and Regulator mount
- Modification of the Cure3+ with inclusion of three different Bolt Inserts
- The introduction of full SLS-to-PC communications

 The latter of those upgrades is made possible through proprietary software in the form of the E-Portal. The E-Portal is an application that provides a means of communicating with an Eclipse SLS through the familiar Windows(tm) environment and will give the user control over all aspects of the SLS firmware. It will be possible to:  

* Upgrade the Electronic Firmware: From time to time Eclipse will release new versions of the firmware that controls the operation of the Eclipse SLS. This may be to add new features to the current firmware; to improve existing features; to fix bugs in the current firmware; or to accommodate changes in major league rules affecting the way that markers are allowed to operate. The latest version of firmware will be downloadable from the Planet Eclipse website and programmable into the SLS using E-Portal.

*  Manage the Control Parameters: E-Portal will display all of the SLS’ Control Parameters in one easy-to-read list. Parameters can be read from the SLS, modified and saved for future use. User presets can also be created for different firing mode configurations and saved for future use.

 * Customise the Start-Up Splash Screen: E-Portal provides a simple way to create images that can be transferred to the Eclipse SLS in order to personalise the start-up screen. These images can be saved for future use or shared with friends and team-mates. Sample images are also available for download from the Planet Eclipse website.

Where the E-Portal offers enhanced control of the electronics, the new SL3 Regulator gives enhanced control of the pneumatics. The SL3 regulator is a completely new, from the ground up, design of In-Line regulator for Eclipse. Eclipse regulators have always been renowned for their reliability, simplicity and robustness. The SL3 obviously has all of those attributes, but now is even more accurate, has better stability when dealing with fluctuating or decaying input pressure, and has a higher flow capability. Not only that, the all-new seal configuration is now both reversible and replaceable by the user, should the main seal ever become contaminated. All of these features mean that the output of the regulator (the pressure that governs the markers velocity) is now even more tightly controlled over a far wider range of supply pressures from the tank. This means velocity remains stable right down to the last few hundred psi on the tank, giving you more usable shots per fill. 

And as promised with the advent of the Cure3+ the new SLS Cure3+ comes complete with three interchangeable bolt inserts. Stock, it comes fitted with the ramped gas transfer option similar to the one seen in the Ego10. And inside the box, together with the optional trigger, optional Valve Guide and other spares, there are two further bolt inserts: A Muffler design, and a Pepper Pot design. A simple pull and twist of the bolt pin allow access to the bolt insert. Simply fit the one that suits your play the best, then pop the pin back in and get back to the field. It couldn’t be more simple. 

Of course the rest of the SLS is no less feature laden, with the Zick2 Rammer kit, adjustable OOPS fitted to the T-Railed SL frame, choice of two triggers and two valve guides, adjustable LPR; custom MAC solenoid valve with modified porting and of course the 5-Piece Shaft SL2 barrel kit.

 As well as the VERY limited run of about 300 SLS (Maximum will be no more than 350) there will also be an exclusive PBNation Owners Badge that you will be able to tag to your user account (Original Owner ONLY)… So you prove your right to be part of the Elite SLS Club..

 The New Eclipse SLS. Is there really anything else you could ever need?

History

 Independent Truck Company is a skateboard truck manufacturer based in Santa Cruz, California and established in 1978. The company was co-founded by Richard Novak, Jay Shiurman, Fausto Vitello, and Eric Swenson. Vitello is also the founder of Thrasher Magazine and two major skateboard distribution companies — Deluxe and Street Corner. Their first truck, the Stage 1, changed it all in 1978.

The Independent Truck Company logo is known as the Alisee, not the Iron Cross. NHS, Inc. distributes and owns the Independent Truck label. They also have an extensive line of skateboards, clothing, accessories, and parts.

Independent Truck Company Construction Technology

 * Stage 10 Forged (also known as “Stage X”) is a solid base plate that is manufactured using a solid piece of aluminum under a high pressure mold. This construction is lighter weight compared to the other base plates in the industry. It has an overall cleaner look and a higher strength-to-weight ratio. It uses a light-weight hollow body aluminum hangar with high rebound urethane bushings. All guaranteed by Independent Truck Co. for Life!

* Stage 10 Low has a similar construction and design as the Stage 10 with a smaller hangar height.

* Stage 9 features include 356 Aluminum heat-treated to T6 condition; non-slip 4140 Chrome Molly Steel axles w/ reduced length rolled threads; new Grade 8 kingpins; precision drilled pivot, kingpin and mounting holes; and high rebound cushions.

* Stage 9 Low is a lower profile version of the Stage 9. It offers the same high quality construction with a lower center of gravity feel that is better suited for the street skate style. Eric Koston was a major contributor to the construction of this low version truck. Independent Trucks are available in various colors and styles!

Benefits of Different Size Trucks

High Trucks: The board is higher off the ground, it can help with skating vert and preventing wheel bite. Great for cruising and carving. Designed for large wheels (56mm+).

Lo Trucks: Drops the deck closer to the ground, usually lighter, gives more pop, and is better for grinds. Designed for small wheels (50-55mm).

Planet Eclipse SL94 EGO 

Every year we try to offer every SL owner the ultimate in Style , Innovation , Performance , Features and Adjustability .

In previous years the SL line has included User Definable options for features such as the operating pressure and LPR style as well as classic Ego options such as spring or magnetic trigger return and opto and micro switch options. This year we have taken things a step further with these options, and the SL comes as standard with 2 different trigger combinations. The first style matches what has become the default Ego trigger shape of the last few seasons. A sleek, curved S-type trigger. The second could be considered more of a classic 2-finger design. Both come pre-installed into the dual-mounted roller bearing carrier complete with magnet and spring returns and all adjustment screws and pins. Simply unbolt one bearing carrier, pull out the trigger assembly, and drop in the next.

Internally the SL94 also sees some new upgrades. For the first time we have the New Zick2 kit and Cure3 bolts.

The Zick2 is the next natural progression from the original Zick. It now has a 3-Stage damping effect on the rear stroke, utilizing an air cushion, a hollow-domed PU shock absorbing cushion and a solid final-stop PU bumper. This all combines to decelerate the rearward motion of the bolt and rammer in an even more controlled manner than the previous Zick. Not only that, but the new tail design of the rammer shaft further helps reduce initial drive force on the forward stroke to limit possible damage to the ball being loaded into the barrel.

Sitting above the new Zick2 Rammer kit you will find the new Cure3 bolt. Through observation of the interactions between balls in the feed stack using the very latest High Speed Video equipment we have been able to refine the design of the profiled surface on the top edge of the Bolt. By doing this we have managed to reduce the amount of crush placed on the ball stack in the feed tube during the firing cycle. This helps eliminate cracking of fragile paint and pre-loaded fractures in the stack when used with force-feed paintball loaders.

Of course the rest of the SL94 is beautifully machined and executed as ever, with bespoke designed and machined parts that will only ever be used on the SL range. In-line regulators that remove all superfluous mass. Pared down grip frame. Shaved OOPS body. New on-the-fly clamping feed lever Sprocket screw. Everything that could be done to remove weight and leave a stunningly designed gun has been done. This is the pinnacle of the 2009 Ego Range. The SL94.
