LL @ The Roarockit Swap Meet

Longboard Living was posted up at this years Roarockit Swap Meet. The event brought out close to 200 stoked out enthusiasts including many of Ontario's finest independent custom builders. Our current collaborative partner 'Napes' was displaying some of his custom carbon drop decks. I got the word that special ordered carbon for our collaboration deck came in and will go into production this week. GFT also let me know that he has started designing a 1 off double kingpin DH truck for this collaboration which will include the art of Jimmy Chiale swirled between the carbon weaves!

GFT brought LL some of his personally poured bushings which were in high demand at the swap. Longboard Living at 74 Oxford will be the official Toronto supplier of GFT bushings, spacers, trucks and other goods he decides to infect the market with.

The crowd enjoyed the wood-burned Bustin Boards Complex which was created by Champstiles Wood Burning through a Longboard Living collaboration.


Alongside Longboard Living was Mike Bozinovski from BOZ Boards and Kevin LeFrank from Ambitious Longboards who's decks will soon be carried at 74 Oxford. Kevin has a line of Freeride "W" concave and Downhill drop decks which will launch at a product release party on April 10th at 2pm.




















Jimmy Chiale attended the show for some live board painting and took orders for custom painted boards.

























Thanks to Roarockit for hosting this years Swap Meet and everyone else who was involved.

Spreading the stoke,

Longboard Living
