Yes ladies and gentlemen... that is, in fact, Jeff's board. The very first production model BottleRocket PS to roll off the press.

After sending Jeff a teaser photo while the board was in transit to him, we decided the photo looked so cool that we should probably just let the whole world gaze upon its magnificence. :)

Trimmed Avalons and RTX/S?

Looks nice!

I'm looking forward to seeing that one in person. Mebbe even a test drive?

Go team Roadkill!

Steve and the crew at Roe Racing did a great job on my BottleRocket, The craftsmanship is excellant, the flex is perfect and it has a real nice snap to it! Its hard to believe you can get such a nice board for such a low price. I do feel the love and will be a Roe customer for a long time. Whats next? Maybe a Insect longboard, I can see that happening in the very near future.

I rode Jeff's board two days ago. It's $weeet! Aaron's PS Crossfire was the best TS ride in the last DC race.

There's no more need for PlankkR. RoeRacing has it all. Triaxial fiberglass works. Carbon looks bad ass. Wood is good.

Thanks guys!

I hope i will have soon...

But i need an advice : wich trucks/wheels are good to put on?

I think of tracker RTS/RTX and Abec11 flywheels (84a/78a)...

yeah, nice choice Mathias!
i've tried several roe boards and they are the shit!
Now you are done with the paypal stuff, i think you should set it up with some 3dm's cambrias or something , flywheels seems to be pretty big for the job , even the smaller radiuses are huge, the geometry and that big centered hub doesn't get along very well with slaloming i think...

rts/rtx+stingers or cambrias+stimulators should be the right set up...

It was nice to see so many new Roe Performance series boards at the gathering this year!! I don't think there was a model I didn't see or ride.
