It is time to officially announce the new 2010 MBS Pro 100. This year as many already know it will be the Tom Kirkman signature model. It has been a long time coming and a whole lot of work and testing has gone into the production of this board.
Tom is a legend in the world of mountainboarding. From the early days he always stood out of the crowd for his talent and style. His style has strong skateboard influences. He is the one who is going faster than anyone else and jumping higher than everyone else. Tom is now back in a big way. In 2009 he won the World Downhill Championships (no brake) in France, then the World Freestyle Championships in August, and was crowned the overall winner of the Cream Teas and Jam series proving he is truly the best mountainboarder out there.
The board is built to Tom’s specifications. The board is stiff, allowing you to tackle the biggest jumps and fastest tracks with precision. To help reduce weight and increase strength we have removed all unnecessary inserts. We shaved off half a kilo on the complete board weight.
We have stuck to the tried and tested wood core with a reverse cap composite wrap and PBT graphics. This comes together to create a bombproof deck with vibrant coloured graphics. Dan Wilson, one of the guys behind Remolition worked with Tom, who provided his own sketches to create a truly unique graphic.
The next big change is Matrix Pro trucks. The Matrix channel truck has proved unbeatable so far, and this is the next level of development. We have been developing metal top trucks for a while and finally they are ready. The result is an even more bombproof truck than before that is lighter than before and provides more controlled turning than before.
To keep up with the bombproof theme the board is fitted with F4 Pro bindings (white) with aluminium L brackets and Rockstar Pro hubs (silver) and T1 tyres (black).
