L’actuel Champion du monde Mischo Erban qui était auparavant commandité par ABEC11 roule maintenant pour Seismic. De plus en plus de rider change d’équipe dans le monde du longboard, rappelons nous dernièrement, Louis pilloni, qui a quitté Loaded pour Sector 9.

Remarqué sur cette photo, il ne ride plus une Evo et il n’y a plus de patch Landyachtz. Est-ce que nous apprendrons bientôt qu’il ride pour une autre compagnie de planche ?

World Cup Champion Mischo Erban joins Team Seismic – Ground Shifts in Downhill Skateboard Racing World

Boulder, CO – Seismic Skate Systems announced that 2009 IGSA World Cup Champion Mischo Erban has joined Team Seismic. The exclusive multi-year contract will support the 26-year-old Canadian downhill skateboard racer’s training and pursuit of further international victories.

Said Erban, « You got it, Seismic wheels are amazing. They’re the real deal. Black Ops urethane grips like a vice and rolls as fast as a runaway freight train. I look forward to riding them to the top of this year’s World Cup circuit! »

Said Seismic founder and owner Dan Gesmer, « We couldn’t be more pleased that such a great champion came to us after his own independent testing on our wheels at Glendora Mountain Road, » one of skateboard racing’s legendary training locations. Gesmer has supported skateboard racing on multiple fronts since the late 1980s.

One of the most consistent and feared downhill racers in the world, Erban racked up an impressive four (4) wins and five (5) total podium finishes during the 2009 IGSA season. IGSA-sanctioned events are the main focus of Erban’s attention, but this season he is expected to compete in other high-profile races such as Danger Bay, Jake’s Rash, Gold Rush, and Mount Washington.

With Seismic’s proprietary Black Ops™ urethane and Energy Conversion™ core technology, Erban now benefits from wheels featuring the skateboard industry’s most advanced ratio of grip, rebound and weight – critical in a sport where hundredths of a second count and every competitor seeks an edge from their equipment and technique.

Seismic expects to integrate Erban into both marketing initiatives and product development.
