New Rayne Longboard Skateboards at Pioneers in New Hampshire


Rayne Team Rider Douglas Dalua is a beast on the hill and has taken top podiums for years. After all his hard work, he now has a pro-model board all to himself. The Rayne Amazon is one of our most exciting releases of the season. The Amazon has some design similarities to the recently released Rival and Supreme as a symmetrical, radial drop deck, but has some distinct differences.

The Amazon is special in the following ways:

5/8" RADIAL DROPS that are deeper than the Killswitch but make you feel more locked in like the Nemesis.
3 stage ROCKER to help naturally lock your feet in and make tucking and turning easier.
An all new concave called ‘MEAN CAVE’ that gets steeper at the waist to create natural gas pedals along the side and sick pockets where it meets the radial near the end.
No distinct kicks at the nose and tail.
DOUBLE DROP and now includes vairable wheelbase Drop Thru mounting.
SPEED STIFF and is intended for high speed Downhill and Race competition.

The NEMESIS has a deep tub concave and a 1" dropped platform. The platform is large enough to feel comfortable no matter what the occasion - perfect for quick aggressive manoeuvring. Lighter and shorter than the Demonseed the NEMESIS gives the rider the comforts of the world's best downhill board in a tighter smaller package making it ready to thrash tighter turns. Slashing your way through allies or effortlessly bombing the steep grade this villain is shaking things up. The variable wheelbase at 32" and 33"allows the rider to customize their set-up. The taller ride height of the NEMESIS allows the rider to leverage their turning while still maintaining a low center of gravity.

Specs:
Length- 39"
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 32" or 33"






The Hellcat has ergonomically designed foot space, a symmetric shape “Pleasure Dome” to an already inspiring deep tub concave. The Hellcat is ideal for free riding and racing. What is the PLEASURE DOME? The PLEASURE DOME makes it easy for riders to master toe side corners, pre-drifts and slick stand-up slides by adding a second concave in the middle of the board! When engaged the pleasure dome grips your toes where there is normally no concave. When in heel-side turns the pleasure dome ensures no foot slip. Don't be turned off by flat concave - find ultimate pleasure with the dome. The aggressive W inspired concave is big where you need it and minimal where you don't. Where don't you need it? When pushing!

Specs:
Length- 41.25”
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 32"







 The Demonseed is the most comfortable speedboard on the market Capable of reaching speeds you can only dream about. This board has a long wheelbase, TONS of foot space and a DEEP TUB Concave that is comfortable on long hill bombs while still gripping like a vice in the corners. For Maximum Versatility and Stability, the Demonseed has a 1" Dropped platform and drop-through mounting so that you can further adjust the riding height and truck angles of your board by adding riser Pads between the Trucks and the Board.

Specs:
Length- 44"
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 34.5"







The Rayne Vendetta has evolved from the need to do everything from light bombing, freeriding, carving, and pumping all in one board. The solution for answering all these needs is in the harmony of features which make for a great all around city board.

Specs:
Length – 40”
Width – 10”
Wheelbase – 30”




The Killswitch says it all. The brainchild of Kevin "K-Rimes" Reimer is finally out and ready to steal your time, your urethane, and your minds. With years of experience riding downhill and a sharp mind, Kevin has taken the time to think about each and every movement you make when riding downhill, and how a board could make those manoeuvres easier through being positively "locked in". Ergonomics were the name of the game when this board came to be and it stickhandle’s through the competition better than Gretzky ever could.

The locks on this board are several:

1: 3/8" Radial Drop Platform - subtle drops in the front and rear so as to cradle the life that it is stealing you from regular monotonous board design

2: K-Rimes' own Pleasure Dome - concave with a subtle feel that is enough to lock you in, but not enough to become bothersome on long bombs or pushes. The W concave also allows for butter toe-side pre-drifts and heel-side stand up checks by keeping your rear foot in place.

1+2 = 3: Where the small drop morphs into the flat-topped Pleasure Dome concave, you place your foot in that "special spot" where the two lovers meet. You will find your foot and toes are dropped into an aggressive forward facing stance that is similar to that of a runner on a starting block. This allows for pushing bad'assery and major comfort when you're out on the track

4: Three-dimensional wood bending: used in this deck to give a full, cupped feeling for the front and rear toes. This allows the body to lean far away from the board while still maintaining full contact of the front foot. The rear foot will find a pocket specially designed for those who tuck, and tuck fast.

5: The "Drop-Lock". When you stand on this deck your front foot will naturally position itself into the "Drop-Lock" where the toes sit beside the drop rather than behind it. This makes for a complete and total lock of the front foot for toe-side drifts.


 For years, people with smaller feet, stance, and/or preference for smaller boards have been successfully using the full-size Killswitch to shred like the Champ. Now, we've taken the core design of the World Championship winning K-Rimes signature model Killswitch, shrunk it down and tightended it up to help the next wave of champions manuever down hill better than ever before. Keeping the ergonomics of the full-size model, we've tweaked this Baby Killer and made it fully symmetrical on both the top and drop model options. Now the shape and concave offer you the ability to ride with complete comfort, control and lock-in no matter what stance you prefer or direction you're going. All the features you want, only the board you need, say goodbye to your time and urethane, this boards going to destroy hills.

The locks on this board are several:

1: 3/8" Radial Drop Platform - subtle drops in the front and rear so as to cradle the life that it is stealing you from regular monotonous board design

2: K-Rimes' own Pleasure Dome - concave with a subtle feel that is enough to lock you in, but not enough to become bothersome on long bombs or pushes. The W concave also allows for butter toe-side pre-drifts and heel-side stand up checks by keeping your rear foot in place.

New to Rayne for 2012, the Vandal was inspired by some of our favorite NorCal riders and developed by our global team. Most top mounts are heavy weights with few locks and flat-cave's. The Vandal is intended to be smart, simple, stiff and light weight. We combine minimalist design thinking with Rayne's signature construction to offer unique 3D bends that build useful features into the board. The Vandal is here to insite more confidence and gnar shredding in all you top mount lovers out there.

The Three Dimensional Concave on this board works like this:

1: Integrated Wheelwells: subtle, pressed in curves in the front and rear open up the concave to naturally allow for more diverse wheel options, while allowing the rider to find their front foot without looking.

2: Integrated Gas Pedals: extending from the Wheelwells in the rear, the pressed in curve creates a natural ridge to dig your foot into pushing out toeside drifts and slides and a valley to sink your foot into for heelside lock-in.

Specs:
Length- 35.5"
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 25.75" / 26.5" or 27.25"
