VARIFLEX STEVE HIRSCH MODEL
CONNECTION TRUCKS X WHEELS
The Hirsch concave hails from a fine line of
concave signature models from Variflex. All of these
boards have a look of handcrafted quality that is
hard to find on the market today. The size of the
Hirsch board makes it one of the most popular of
the group and the 6-ply hard rock maple is lay-
ered on either side with a tough coat of epoxy
resin.
In most cases you will find the Variflex boards
set-up with the Connection trucks and X wheels
as shown here. The no hang-up Connection truck.
has an excellent turning radius and is light-
weight.
The X wheel is a 94A durometer wheel that has
been designed using a light, stronger inner core
constructed of Zytel ST. Up to 28% lighter than
conventional wheels, the X is made of high re-
bound urethane and each wheel is turned on a
lathe to ensure roundness.
Complete this set-up with Variflex rail sliders
and coping devices and your ready to slide and
grind away while protecting your equipment.

The 757 City skate design has been fabricated
for the go anywhere, do anything skater. This ex-
tremely versatile deck is of the more traditional
design, 757mm (29.8") long and 229mm (9.01")

McCALL FREESTYLE INDEPENDENT 88mm
ROCCO FREESTYLE WHEELS
We sometimes wonder why freestyle
skateboarding isn't more popular amongst the
hardcore. It requires a minimum of space and you
don't have to search out skate spots. Now, however,
we are seeing more and more verticalists getting
involved in freestyle skating. With boards such as
this Jim McCall Freestyle from Walker on the
market the transition is being made easier.
The board measures in at 27" X 7.5". Fully
rounded nose and kicktail sections and slightly
curved rails provide the skater with enough deck
area to perform tricks and fancy footwork.
We've equipped this model with Indy 88's
although some skaters may prefer 109mm's. If
you're undecided about hanger width try both,
the standard Indy base plate will accept all of
their hanger widths.
Sims' has scored a big hit with the Rocco
Freestyle wheel, shown here. The 54mm X 42mm
is hard, at 95 durometer, for stiffness during rail
walks and good rolling capabilities on smooth
flat surfaces.
