Fastest and most efficient pumping platform.

MK Ascension
Focused on weight, the Ascension is the lightest platform on the market. Consider the Ascension if your goal is to set up a lightweight LDP deck. With its low weight, going uphill on the Ascension requires less effort. We developed a special construction for the Ascension to reduce the compromises that a lightweight deck often faces regarding pumping performance. The Ascension shines in longer endurance competitions.

MK Drop²
The Drop2 board is your go-to if you want to be prepared for rain at all times, maneuver easily through tight turns and traffic, and enjoy a stiff construction for a precise and responsive riding style. Its main goal is to be a pusher, but you can set it up for pumping—just don’t expect to break any pumping records with it :b​

Double drop board with the steepest drop out there: 6 cm drop over 5 cm length.
-
Low and great for pushing.

Integrated mudflaps for all your rainskates.

Short wheelbase for excellent maneuverability through cars and pedestrians in the city.

-
Narrow mounting area allows for narrow trucks, soft bushings, and big wheels—wheelbite free!
-
Can be set up with pumping trucks, but with the short wheelbase, it’s not the most efficient pumper out there.
