ZORLAC JOHN GIBSON MODEL
As the state of the skateboard
industry continues to grow, so does
the need for new, skate decks.
The tough guys at ZORLAC are
aiming to fill this growing need with
new addition to their line, the John
Gibson Model
This hefty deck, measuring in at
30.25 x 10.25", is durable and
lightweight, its Fiberlam construction
guarantees the ultimate in sturdiness.
ZORLAC offers 2 versions of this
a
model to the masses. One of seven
plys of the finest hardwood used for
skateboards and the other consisting
of six plys of wood and two plys of
fiberglass.
The surface of the John Gibson,
model includes a soft rounded
concave, suited to John's style and
specs.
A final factor is this board's bold
graphics. The John Gibson model
from ZORLAC, not your average
board.

BONES V-IV FREESTYLE
This board came to us as a com-
plete set-up courtesy of Tracker De-
signs, Ltd. Immediately we knew we
had something special. Here's a
lighter than lightweight freestyler that
will take you from the hardcore tricks-
ter freestyle sessions to the newest
wave of street tricks and back again.
No heavy metal weight here as these
Tracker Mids are made of vydynyte
plastic for super weight savings.
The board itself is Tracker Designs
new Flipside Freestyle template, (26
x 7", but you'll quickly hone it down to
6% with a few rail tricks) a shape that
came about through discussions with
some of the world's top notch
tricksters, including the pair of Pers
(Welinder and Holknekt).
You may drop a few more dollars
when purchasing this trick set-up but
you can bet this board will go where-
ver you go.
