Skating Zen: Arbor Sports Bamboo Pin Skateboard

image

The Arbor Sports Bamboo Pin is a classic tapered longboard for tree huggers that love to carve!  It is made from one of today’s most renewable resources, bamboo.  Bamboo is organically fast growing and self-propagating, and doesn’t need harmful cultivation techniques.  Plus it is light, durable, flexible and resistant to compression.  In other words, do your worst, the Bamboo Pin can handle it, probably better than you can.  I don’t suspect you’ll find any of these in a landfill.

Utilizing BIO STRETCH rubber and the ECO FLEX exterior you can have peace of mind knowing you are wrapped in 100% non-petroleum based material.
