Merry Christmas one and all.
I'm struggling to write this with a tummy full of leftovers, but Vandem Friday News stops for nothing.*
I am assuming with the calm weather you've had a chance to test out your Christmas gifts - albeit perhaps in the dark.
The new Sabre Split Angle Upgrade Kits for most of you, judging by what we we were busy packing in December.
How do you like them? Do you agree with those who tested them at the Bristol Board Meeting this year?
If all this means nothing to you, feel free to refer back to the original release newsletter.
Essentially, the technology that allows slalom and downhill skaters to go absolutely wild on their boards has trickled down into regular old longboards.
All the advantages - more fun, more pumpy at low speed, more stable at high speed - for just £40. Provided you're riding a setup with Sabre longboard trucks already.
You'll need a full truckset if you don't but honestly... you won't look back.

It'll feel like a brand new longboard - call it a January sale!
Now I'm sure I can fit in just a bit more cheese before bed...
May your asphalt be dry, your spirit merry and your family not yet on your nerves,
Matt @ Vandem

All it takes is a slack back truck and your board will be transformed - be prepared to smile like its your first time on a longboard again.
