“Gav has always been known for the savage smoothness in which he executes his tricks.

“He possesses an ever expanding trick vocabulary and his skating is excitingly unpredictable.

“It’s hard to guess what’s coming next, which makes him one of the most compelling bladers to watch.

We could say more, but really… his skating speaks for itself.

It’s a big coup for Arcena, with the Sydney-based star currently ranked No.1 in the world in competition skating.

With its feet in rollerblading, music and art, Arcena looks like it’s expanding strongly in 2015, with a growing “wolf pack” including not only skaters, but artists and music producers as well.

While the gear isn’t stocked in Australia yet, expect to see it Down Under soon through their new relationship with Wellsmore. The brand will also present at this year’s Winterclash trade show.

Gavin Drumm pro bearings available now from the Go Project, wheels and more soon

Gavin Drumm Pro Bearings Go Project

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGJFrLP7mtU”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]New hardgoods company Go Project has released a line of pro bearings for Australian skater Gavin Drumm, alongside products for Richie Eisler and Dominic Bruce.

To celebrate the brand’s launch, they have just dropped a killer introduction edit featuring their three first pros, editing by the one-and-only Dom West. It’s a well-deserved endorsement for Drumm, who is without a doubt one of the best skaters in the country, and arguably the world.

The Go Project looks like they are going about it the right way, too. Instead of having a traditional “team” of skaters, they sponsor people on a per product basis. They pay the skaters upfront for the pleasure and the good news for Drumm is, all profits for the first production run of bearings will end up in his pocket!

Here’s what Go Project have to say about Gavin Drumm’s new pro bearings:

“Gav Drumm’s skating is fluid and technical. Go Project Gavin Drumm skate bearings’ low torque and high tolerance are perfect for a heavy vertical load-bearing sport like inline skating.

“They use seven Chrome Steel ball bearings protected by a single sided Nylon shield. Nylon does not dent like metal compounds. This, combined with the single shielded design means that the ball bearings are less likely to be crushed or caught between dented shields.

“Go Project does not use the generic ABEC scale to rate bearings because of its irrelevance to the specific tolerances imposed by inline skating, where quality of manufacturing and materials far surpass theimportance of a rating based upon ‘revolutions per second’. Gav’s bearings simply have a Speciality Rating of 4/5 which represents their performance when used as a skate bearing.”

Go Project Gavin Drumm bearings and other products are available in Australian retailers now.
