ROCKET DH/FR MICRO FREIRE PRO DECK-8.75x30.5
In 2017 Rocket introduced the first Ian Freire pro model. For 2021 they have completely revised the board together with Ian. The original board came in two widths. But Ian isnt just one of the worlds best freeriders, hes also extremely fast. So this time they went one step further and gave him two boards with similar features but in 2 different sizes. The Macro and the Micro: a single kick freerider and a small modern race board.
The boards are not built with their LAF technology anymore but thanks to a hollow core they are still lighter than most comparable boards on the market. The hybrid construction made of carbon, flax, and glass fibers ensures a very direct, yet smooth riding experience.
The Micro is a very modern race board, with features similar to theMacroand the original Ian Freire Pro, just compressed to a smaller size. It has a symmetrical foot platform with wide wheelwell flares, a steeper concave in the center of the board, and a continuous rocker. This board is the least restrictive of our mini boards and so fills a gap in Rocket's line up. It gives you the reference points you need without limiting your stance. Its also our only mini board without a W concave.
Why no more LAF technology Unfortunately, this construction was too time consuming for a small company like us. We also produced far too many factory seconds. Thats why Rocket made the decision to switch. The new construction is still light, stiff and very durable. At the same time, however, it is more comfortable to ride.
Although we have always enjoyed LAF technology, we are happy that we can now build you a board that rides even better.
