A photo of Mayhem when he finished shaping the master board for the new 2019 PLACEBO model.
Mayhem and Nishii have been developing a new model exclusively for PLACEBO since last year!
The model name is "ZEKE"!
The name "ZEKE" refers to the Japanese fighter plane Zero, which the US military feared the most.
It's a code name given by the US military.
This board is a Japan-only model that MAYHEM is selling to Japanese users aged 35 and over.
A new model in the series that MAYHEM continues to develop for Japanese users aged 35 and over!
"ZEKE" The concept of Zeke is "Strongest performance"
The paddle is fast, easy and goes well.
It has fast and safe takeoff performance,
The ride is gentle and has no quirks.
It picks up speed and keeps that speed,
It achieves a high level of operability, moving effortlessly according to the rider's will.
This photo shows the POLY version that Nishii was testing the design on.
