Our Description: The Riviera Gemini is a topmounted carving and commuting board. By being topmounted this deck has greater leverage compared to a drop-thru board making it easier to carve. The comfortable concave, and solid construction make this a great board for any skill level.
Riviera Skateboards proudly offers the new Top Shelf Drop Thrus. All boards are constructed with 100% bamboo veneer laid up with both long grain and cross veneers for added strength and durability. Firmly sandwiched between top and bottom veneers are hybrid composite layers consisting of uni-directional carbon fiber and 45d fiberglass. Coupled with new performance driven shapes and proprietary mold designs, Top Shelf creates the perfect balance of flex, rigidity, and a solid locked in stance for all types of downhill and freeride.
The Taco is the standard in most freeride molds, offering a substantial side-to-side concave while being flat through the center for those who like an unrestricted riding experience. It's the choice for all around freeriding, drifting and slidingas it offers easy foot placement anywhere on the board and transitions from slide to slide easily and comfortably.
