Seismic Alpha Wheels

Skateboarding’s profile as a legit sport is undeniably on the rise. Street and Park are now included in the Olympics (with other disciplines sure to follow), and the prestigious World Skate Games started showcasing Downhill at its 2019 edition in Barcelona, Spain. After a two-year break, this elite international competition is on again in Argentina.

The U.S. members of the Seismic Team are proud to lead the talented group of Downhill racers representing America at this year’s WSG in Argentina. Notably, they own the #1 top-ranked spots on the U.S. Team in every category – Men’s & Women’s Standup Skateboard and Men’s & Women’s Street Luge!

All four U.S. Top Qualifiers rely on Seismic’s advanced Alpha competition race wheels, poured with our proprietary Defcon urethane compound. So do numerous other WSG Qualifiers from the U.S. and abroad, in both DH and Slalom racing. Defcon is the fastest formula in the history of skateboard racing, credited with virtually every significant world speed record including the official Guinness mark. Truly the Champions’ Choice!

A hearty congratulations to all of the Seismic riders from across the globe competing in the 2022 World Skate Games!

Seismic Team riders and USA #1 Qualifiers in DH and Luge: Chase Hiller, Emily Pross, Sabrina Riffenburg, and Ryan Farmer

The brainchild of Seismic Pro Aaron Hampshire, the Genome is a modern thoroughbred racer from tip to tip. We spared no effort in painstakingly evolving and refining the deck’s shape and contours at Seismic headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. For meticulous handcrafted manufacturing, we turned to the Rocket Longboards factory in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

A 7-ply Canadian Maple core sandwiched between two bi-axial layers of high-grade Carbon cloth makes the Genome RACE STIFF. The gradual 0.64″ (1.62 cm) elliptical concave is both comfortable and responsive. Ergonomic wheel well flares – optimized separately for the front vs. rear foot – add leverage and control.They’re milled on the underside, too, adding clearance for wheels up to 80mm tall.

A mellow W synergizes with the rear flares for an unprecedented locked-in feeling while tucking, sliding, and cornering. A 0.25″ (0.63 cm) front-loaded Rocker combines with a 5mm-deep, 2-degree flush-mount at the nose to make for an ultra-responsive deck with low ride height.

• Front-loaded Rocker with 0.64″ (1.62 cm) elliptical concave
• Ergonomic wheel well flares (milled on the underside)
• 5mm-deep, 2-degree flush-mount at the nose
• 0-degree flush-mount at the tail
• Graphic on bottom
• Not pre-gripped
• Weight 4.41 lbs. (2.0 kg)

Mischo Erban has been pioneering longboarding since man of you were in grade school! This guy is a true racer and has shown it with countless podiums on the world circuit and even a few titles worthy of boasting. This is a flashback to his 2011 season where he won the IGSA World Championship Title in Brazil.

From MIscho…

“Still hanging in by tooth and nail the, 2011 season was another to remember! I was becoming more tuned into my skateboard setup and confidence and perseverance paid off with the World Champion Title being seized on my most favorite track in Teutonia, Brazil!
Big Thanks to Fred Baumann, Ronin Trucks, GMR Skateboards, Dan Gesmer at Seismic, Xtreme Board Shop Glendora, Knucklenuts and Crocan for the video edit!”
