The Fade was designed to make you a better park
rider! Our exclusive Press Pass rocker makes
pressing a breeze with extended flat spots to help
lock you in over the nose or tail. This rocker line,
combined with our 100% Paulownia Wood Core
explodes off kickers, so get ready to get booted.
With its Wood Core, Durarail sidewalls, and Impact
Base, the Fade was built with durability in mind
and will keep you charging season after season.
