Designed for riders who are as critical on their equipment as they are on themselves, the Ride Technology (RT) collection is introduced. Like every other board in the RT collection, the RT Slalom 30v has been designed to create the most high-end, performance focused ride possible.
Utilizing the Flexdex BLACK material deck, the RT Slalom 30v has the same flex pattern as the standard Slalom 30v, meaning it’s still the lightest, fastest and most rider responsive ever born from the Flexdex labs, but it ups the ante with its arsenal of top of the line Ride Tech hardware.
Geared up with the stuff dreams are made of, the RT Slalom 30v is among the best of the best. The board carries top of the line 70mm/78a ABEC 11 Grippin wheels, your choice of RocknRon Ballistech Missle or Biltin bearings and the Tracker 149mm RT-S/RT-X truck carving system. In addition, the board employs the ground breaking Flexdex Vent System, allowing for maximum board flex and giving riders the highest possible turning and maneuverability of any skateboard.
If your serious about you're ride, the RT Slalom 30v is the answer.
Uncle Ebone says, "We used to make a Slalom GT with bigger wheels. Boring. This new Flexdex Ride Technology upgrades our Slalom30v to a faster, smoother, tight-turning perfection machine. You can pump and carve this bad boy uphill!"

The standard model on steroids, the RT Slalom 30v incorporates the Flexdex Vent System with the Ride Tech hardware to make this classically shaped slalom deck even more powerful and aggressive. Hailed the best carving board ever made, the RT Slalom 30v was designed to unleash the most energy through turns as possible.
Mediatoring between rider and street, the RT Slalom 30v’s ABEC 11 Grippin wheels hold like suction cups to the road. With their hard-edged hourglass shape plus inner and outer flexible lips the Grippins are very fast, smooth, high traction wheels, which provide controlled and comfortable slides. The extremely wide contact patch present on the Grippins make them the perfect wheel for the carving, hard turning and slalom riding that the board was designed to do.
Keeping this board riding like butter are the unrivaled RocknRon Ballistech Missle or Biltin bearings, the finest in precision bearing design.
RocknRon Ballistech Missle bearings are constructed using a Non-Contact seal with an Inner Ring Step allowing each of the 7 ball-bearings to float and spin effeortlessly, generating the least amount of friction possible. Guaranteed consistent and even lubrication, the Inner Ring Step allows for the quickest acceleration and highest top end speed of any bearing, anywhere. Equally important, the bearings are used in combination with an exact 10mm precision spacer to ensure each bearing is working together to evenly share sideloads and keep all four wheels flat on the ground for better wear, perfect alignment and firmly tightened wheels.
Biltin bearings on the other hand are the first precision bearing designed for skateboarding that actually incorporates an integrated spacer and washer. The perfectly faced inner races provide precise spacing and exact alignment so that the locknuts can be snuggly tightened without pinching or binding the bearings. The bearings then work together to maintian even sideload distribution and keep each wheel flat on the ground for quicker response and higher rider control. The patented system is guaranteed to provide unparalleled performance in any type of riding. Designed to make washers and spacers a thing of the past, Biltins are also easier to maintain than any other bearing.
Finally, bringing everything together are the Tracker 149mm RT-S/RT-X trucks. A combination of two specialized trucks, producing the ideal blend of stability and maneuverability.
The Tracker RT-S model is solid with the stability of a full contact pivot point. It was designed to serve as a rear "traction" truck, one that provides greater stability and increased rider control. Using Tracker's exclusive hourglass bottom bushing, a taller top bushing and a slightly longer kingpin for more precise adjustments.
The Tracker RT-X model is quick and loose, with a high roll center and straight pivot point for a more "tippy" turn. Designed to be used as a front steering truck, one that gets the rider into and out of a turn quick and predictably. Also assembled using Tracker's exclusive hourglass bottom bushing, taller top bushing and a slightly longer kingpin for exact fine-tuning.
In the end, will all this rad “Ride Tech” hardware make you a better skater? YES and that’s what matters. Get technical.
