As the Big Squid Bash Crew prepares to name it’s coveted Basher of the Year in the very near future, I figured that our resident scalers, Adam the Intern and myself, would name our (slightly less coveted) favorite scaling releases of the last year. There were a lot of cool kits that released over the last 12 months but these [...]

Up until the Yeti release over the summer, it had long been the king of the 2.2 wheel trucks. The combination of the release of the Yeti [...]
