Compared to snowboarding and wakeboarding (where you're strapped in) and surfing (where most falls are absorbed by the sea), fact is skateboarding is hard. But, if you're looking for that extra push to help you nail that elusive trick - from your first ollie, kick flip or back-lip - the Wheelbone could be your secret weapon.
Genius in it's simplicity, this plastic construction fits around the wheels of your skateboard to keep it stationary when you're attempting tricks, helping to maintain balance, body position and make stomping easier. Plus the Wheelbone creates more tension between the trucks allowing you to pop even higher, with it's increased stored energy, all weighing in less than 200g.
Also, by engaging more control over your skateboard you can practise tricks in confined spaces - whenever or whereever you fancy: “Wheelbone is great fun and
really helps me nail new tricks," explains Aaron Sweeney, Vans-sponsored Pro Skater. "Plus, if it’s raining outside,
it lets you practice indoors without smashing any windows.”
