Extreme launches the eagerly awaited board brand, EX Skate


For immediate release July 2008


EX Skate, the new board collection from The Extreme Group, are launching their first range of Skateboards, Mountain boards and Longboards into retail this July.

The boards have been 2 years in development and add a new dimension to the already extensive range of products designed and developed by the leading edge extreme sports company which founded the hugely successful Extreme Sports Channel in 1999. The slick 17 piece range contains 9 skateboards, 4 Mountain boards and 4 Longboards each with sharp designs and graphics for maximum impact.

After the success of EX Time (watches) and EX Rawstate (clothing) it seemed only a matter of time before the design teams and artistic visionaries that are the Extreme hub got together and bridged the gap between the makers and the Extreme sports nuts out there. The natural synergy between the Extreme Group and the skate world is clear when you look at the roots of the Extreme Group. The EX Skate quiver has a technical level that is perfect for both new and the mid level progressive skaters, with graphics that stand out. The price range starts at £34.99 for the cash-shy with the likes of the ‘Frenzy’ and ‘Sinker’ boards going up to £64.99 with ‘The Phantom’ and ‘Tyranny’ for the board junkies.

The boards will be sold initially on ExtremePie.com, Europe’s leading online retailer in surf, skate, urban and sportswear. They will then branch out, spread their wings and infiltrate the UK retailers over the coming year.

The offering by the new brand only skims the surface of the iceberg of creativity and brand vision. There is a huge number of accompanying products coming on stream over the year including ramps, pads, helmets, kites and everything else in between.

If you require any samples, images or product information on the boards please do not hesitate to contact me. Or if you just fancy a chat about any of the Extreme products then I’m here for that too.

About Skate

EX Skate is the first brand range that has launched from the canopy company EX Hardware.

EX Skate encompasses everything extreme, with words like passion, irreverence, freedom and vision encapsulating the brand ethos. They have been designed with the skate fan in mind that is edgy, fresh and sharp.
