The G|Bomb Longboard Distance Skating project began around 2005 as a hobby. Since then G|Bomb has changed the world of distance skating. I am a mechanical engineer and designer by day. I designed my longboard deck and brackets to allow for the use of extremely responsive truck and bushing systems at a lowered platform height. When a G|Bomb longboard deck is configured with an extremely responsive front system and less responsive rear system, the resulting performance enables LDP "pumping".

Longboarding is a type of skateboard riding where the rider propels themselves by shifting their weight as they enter and exit a turn is extremely enjoyable. Learning how to Longboard takes some practice, but once mastered, the motion results in a very fun and rewarding skateboard riding experience. Many first-time G|Bomb riders are surprised by the responsiveness of a G|Bomb system, but after the muscle memory adjusts, they find they never want to go back to an under responsive deck for commuting and distance skating.

​

G|Bomb long distance skateboards are deck and bracket systems that provide several advantages over traditional single piece decks for long distance longboarding. The advantages of a G|Bomb longboard include infinitely adjustable truck angles, ample wheel clearance, modular design for travel, and improved flex distribution for superior strength and a smoother ride.

Our deck and bracket longboard designs allow for the use of extremely responsive truck and bushing systems at a lowered platform height. When a G|Bomb Longboard deck is configured with an extremely responsive front system and less responsive rear system, the resulting performance enables long distance "pumping".

Happy "Longboard pumping"
