Earthwing
Started in the mid 90's while Brian Petrie was working at PSNY Skateshop in 6th and
west 4th in
NYC. The first official Earthwing deck was made in his apartment in April of 1998. It was
ac
arver wrapped in s-glass, Baltic birch top and bottom veneers, v-lam balsa core, and
even some
thin woven stainless steel fabric of all things. Then, in 2003, The first Kevlar / carbon/
birch
Supercharger prototype was riden by Ian Nichols who won on their first time out at the
infamous
"Broadway Bomb" race. That deck was unlike anything anyone had seen at the time. At
that
time you didn't see many production drop through decks, especially any with a
detailed thought
out construction like that. Their products have value. Earthwing now using Superballs
wheels
designed specifically for different disciplines - from slide, to speed, to smooth drifty
goodness, we
have you covered.
