New From Tracker Trucks
The Tracker SixTrack debuted in 1979 and was the Number 1 choice of Pro Skaters worldwide.
During the late 70's, Tracker co-founder Gary Dodds prototyped a nylon baseplate that was actually lighter than the Magnesium bases. Since aerial maneuvers were coming on to the scene lightness was the key. However, skaters that rode their trucks tight found that there was flex in the base.
Gary and Larry then redesigned the nylon baseplate in the mid 80's and the new stiffer Ultralite Base was born. As skating progressed, a few skaters still found some flex in the New Vydynyte material.
By the late 80's Tracker's R & D found the perfect Carbon Graphite Composite material. Stiff, Ultralite and Strong as Hell. Larry has dug into his historic collection and released a limited amount of these Duralite Carbon Graphite Bases.
There trucks are 75 grams lighter than the original Tracker SixTrack.
