Bont Gigantathon Inlines - Skate Real Fast, Turn Perhaps

Monday May 19, 2008
Glenn Koshi was the lucky test skater for Bont's new secret weapon: the Bont Gigantathon. I'm not sure what event they are for, but these skates are huge and look like exciting equipment to try.

The 23 inch 6 x 110mm 3 point frame is only suitable for those very experienced skaters who love adventure and have the skills to figure out how to turn. You can see a video of Glenn's Gigantathon test run on Bont TV or check out more test photos on the Bont site.

There are already skaters lining up to buy this limited production frame. If you want to try them or encourage another production run, email Glenn at Bont Skates, so the company knows how many are interested in Gigantathon. The first orders will be available around the end of June and are designed for 3 point boots only. Maybe a new downhill event with limited turns will develop, just to keep these early adapters out of trouble.
