BLINK S – Europe and Australia

Shipments are still on the way to our distributors in France and Australia. We will keep you updated on their delivery. Due to the compliance requirement, there were additional certifications and documents required. The process took longer than we all expected. We expect them to be ready to ship to your doorstep in Early-Mid June. Shipping times will vary depending on where you are located.



BLINK S – Other Countries

Backers in most countries have been fulfilled. We’re still working on a few more countries that require extra import procedures. If you still haven’t received a tracking #, please contact us.



BLINK S2 Shipping Update
The BLINK S2 is currently on its way to the US and we expect the shipment to arrive at our warehouse in LA in 2 weeks. Please expect another 1 – 2 weeks for shipping and customs.

BLINK S Design and Truck Update

Design: The 2nd shipment of BLINK Ss have made good on our promise of the original design. They now show off the wood veneer and the original grey tail.



Trucks:

RKPs on the front?!

We have chosen to install high quality Reverse Kingpin Trucks on the front of the BLINK S in order to improve the overall durability of the hangars until we can produce improved quality Traditional Kingpin Trucks.

We have had less than 0.5% break, but we want to guarantee the highest quality to ensure they can handle anything you put them up against. If you’re not on board with having RKPs up front and TKPs out back, please submit a ticket here (LINK) and we will send you a brand new Traditional Kingpin Truck as soon as we have them in stock.

NOTE: This will not restore the self-standing geometry. As cool as the self-standing feature was, we have chosen to move past it and extend the deck to make room for more nose real estate. We are very sorry if you loved this feature, but please know that any change we make is in the best interest of our customers.



Happy Cinco De Mayo!!
