The 1978 best-selling Swedish skateboard brand has re-launched to the market with both new and classic shapes.
Background New Sport
New Sport was an skateboardmanufacturer founded in the late 70's. 1978 hey opened Scandinavia´s first indoor skatepark, called New Sport House. Among the team riders were the Swedish skateboard legend Tony "T-Mag" Magnusson and Per 'Perre' Viking.
- "The idea to re-launch of the brand was born while I saw "Sparken" (concrete park in Umeå) grow up and desire to start riding again became stronger. Me and several of my friends were looking for something that was a bit more old school."
Says Ulf Gustavsson, head of the re-launch
Re-launch of Flux Shop

Great work... Sounds like a lot of good times to be had.
The name is different, "new sport" sort of reminds me of a sports shop name.
Good luck.
Cheers

Hey, that's some cool stuff!
Are you running the site?
If yes, just one remark about the SKF / Calypso trucks: They were copied from some old Bahne steel trucks.
Some wheels just look like old Powell Bones wheels; not the red ones on the usual decks you see.
I have some NOS red/orange wheels, but they are cracked...!
Forum member Bernhard was also on the SKF team, and he still works at SKF in Schweinfurt. |
