Every month or so, we will be highlighting one of our forum threads that we think is worth sharing with you. ‘From The Forum’ might be a great thread about someones own trip, information about a race, a really good tip that is worth sharing or a review from one of our forum members. This month it is a...
The 2011 re-release of the Long Treks Demonseed is HERE! Rayne Team Rider Paul Kent has been tweaking the design of the Demonseed over the past few years and to create the fastest, most efficient distance skating or commuting board ever made. This deck is an adaptation of the Rayne Demonseed but there are a slew of important changes...
We are so fortunate here at skatefurther to have such a close link with so many distance skaters from around the globe, board builders interested in distance skating and forum members interested in ‘pushing’ distance skating as a form of transport, fitness or mild obsession. We all know Rob Thomspon from his epic, EPIC world record skate across Europe,...
Just had a bit of a chat with Troy from Skateventure: Southeast Asia. Looks like they have had a couple of days off earning some food and keep playing drums and guitar. They get back on the road tomorrow. Troy and Huw have skated over 200km in 23 days, got food poisoning, been put up in a 5* hotel...

Rayne has 3 versions of the deck; the standard DS, the Deelite and the LongTreks. Looks like they’ve gone and improved upon...
Here at skatefurther we love hearing of different people skating further than they have before. Jack, ably assisted by his mum Jo, recently supported the US Ultra skate here in the UK by skating 50 miles and raising money for a worthwhile cause. He also wrote a litte bit about the day. In the autumn it’s all about the...
Don’t know if thisis official or not, but we have got the new graphics for the Rayne Demonseed Deelite! The Demonseed is fast becoming the standard for pushing distance. Strength, comfort and ability to be used for a variety of disciplines make it an awesome distance deck. Demonseeds have been used in trips across New Zealand, China the Highlands and...

Enjoy. Rayne’s Demonseed deck has been a popular shape with distance...
