Our homie Fernando Yuppie is one of the raddest skaters, ever. We are very stoked that Abec 11 (via subLime) has just released Fernando’s first signature wheel. Hell yeah! This wheel is designed with some serious sliding in mind—the kind of gnarly sliding that Fernando and his family of shredders have been perfecting for generations. Congratulations to both Fernando and Abec 11. Very Stoked! When ya have a chance, also make sure to check out Fernando’s interview and the famous video he made exclusively for Wheelbase: Fernando Yuppie Interview: Pure Soon
Here’s the official Abec 11 word on Fernando’s new signature wheels:
“This High Octane AFS (Anti-Flat Spot) urethane formula is for insane slides. These subLIME PowerSlides in 62mm were developed for Slide Masters including Fernando and Sergio Yuppie. The new 62mm has Fernando’s name and silhouette on it. With nearly a year in development, they are the best tech-slide wheels to date!”
