This is a highly ranked rider who will definately be on some podiums in the forthcoming season and in the years to come, we are very excited indeed!
Its the one at the top of the picture...
News soon!

He is a young up-and-coming rider with huge potential, getting faster and stronger everytime I see him ride.

Now that we have 2 team riders on the Am roster , Louis Selby and longtime Gecko supporter Paul Kellerher with myself in the Pro ranks, please feel free to ask for a try of our boards whenever and wherever you see us around this Summer!
US riders will get the chance either via the Demo board flying around the country or our US Team rider (tba).
Martin.
Thank you

A Top American Slalom Racer Takes Gecko on Tour
Following on from the World Championships in Sweden, top American slalom racer George Pappas was impressed enough with the Gecko SLE Tight Slalom skate deck to take one with him on his European mini-tour.
Gecko are hoping that if he is suitably impressed, to work with George to create an HGS signature deck for release later this year following trials.
We'll keep you posted, George will have the 1st proto under his feet very soon! We are really excited to say the least.
Martin.
