The Heroin Razor Edge construction – more control, more flick, more fun
Many Heroin skateboard decks feature the Razor Edge construction. While you would rather avoid a Razor Tail on your setup, this construction has it coming. Here, the long edges of the top wood veneer of Heroin decks are more angular. The nose and tail are rounded, as you are used to.
This creates an edge that makes the board more responsive. The result is better control, board feel and flick. The construction pays off, especially with very wide boards. Which Heroin decks have the Razor Edge construction, you can find out in the respective product description.
Because skating is simply addictive – the story behind Heroin Skateboards
The founder of Heroin is Mark "Fos" Foster, who started the brand in 1998 in Manchester, Great Britain. Fos became obsessed with skateboarding, the culture and the shops as a teenager. From being a regular at local shops to becoming an employee he later realized his own vision and now sees his signature Heroin Deck designs in stores worldwide.
Since 2011, Fos has been living in America and Heroin is now part of Baker Boys Distribution. When it comes to the quality of Heroin skateboard decks, you can be sure that they are top-notch. While many Heroin team riders hail from the UK, the team is quite international with Chris Pulman, Zane Timpson, Swampy, Chet Childress, Lee Yankou, Aaron Wilson & a few more.
The name "Heroin Skateboards" might be controversial but refers to the fact that skating is addictive in its own way. Founder Fos rejects drugs of any kind. The only high that matters to him is skateboarding, or to quote his exact words, "Fuck drugs, let's skate"!
