We are thrilled to announce the elevation of one of board sports most all terrain ATV slayers Phil Hansen to the professional ranks with his inaugural Philbutt Pro board on Lib Tech Skate! Phil is a steadfast ruler who interprets all surroundings with an unrelenting attack of precision, power, style and a seemingly bottomless bag of tricks. That’s just the skater Phil. The dude Phil is a humble, kind, amazingly easygoing chap whom you’ll make friends with in a blink of an eye. He just wants to enjoy the battle, fire up the session and laugh at whatever obstacle is ahead. Phil’s got a stake in the collective stoke and a smile for your session whether you’re the number one charger, a mongo beginner or a 40 year old grom brushing off pressure flips. After the session it’s time for nature exploration, coffee on the jet boil, impromptu metal jazz, “Rash Paint” and without fail a swimming hole with an extremely white, naked, smiling Phil smack dab in the middle.

MMMedia master lensman Sean Lucey has been working with Phil for the past year creating a video part worthy of this occasion. It doesn’t take long to understand the depth of Phil’s talent, it’s truly ALL terrain. Starting back at Southpark’s portals and shooting out along the ley lines of Seattle and surrounding NW streets Phil leaves his mark. Together Phil and Lucey create a brutal combo of expert filming and no hesitation chomp leaving a trail of scorched battlements in their wake.

When Phil Hansen first got on Lib it was clear he was a cheek above the rest. On his first Lib Tech trips he was the butt of most jokes but now he’s put that in his rear… view mirror. Phil doesn’t just haul ass under a full moon, baby’s got back to back tricks that make em clap! Phil knows how to spread his approach from pool coping to kink rails to parks to curbs (most of it backside). He’s no bum, he’s a hard worker who isn’t going to stay in the caboose any longer. Phil’s time is now with the release of his first board, the “Philbutt Pro”, a Mervin Made Cockroach Construction marvel featuring stunning maple bottom curves. This isn’t just junk in the trunk, this thing rips. Pants optional.
The kraftsmen at Mervin MFG. love skateboarding and building / riding the world’s best boards. Lib Tech skateboards and Cockroach Construction are the result of 30 years of composite experimentation and testing. Our skates are radically different than any other skateboard on the market. Built in the USA one at a time by skateboarders using 52 strategically selected components, each board is like a giant cockroach with a tough unsquashable “exo-skeleton” on the outside that includes a poppy fiberglass spine and softer, light, poppy wood encased inside. All 52 components are hand laminated and fused together under heat and pressure using a rugged poppy safe to use low VOC epoxy resin system. Cockroach construction is the longest lasting, highest popping construction money can buy…when it all ends there will be two things left on earth: cockroaches and Lib Tech skates.
