Finding used Dregs is hard enough, but a new Weapon – It doesnt get rarer than this! NOS – absolute collectors item. The Dregs Weapon Longboard Complete is an aggressively shaped longboard for massive shred fun! Being on display for so long, it has very minor storage marks, otherwise appears new.

Founded in the 1990s, Dregs had been producing high quality skateboards and longboards for over twenty years.

Dregs were known for awesome long boards with big tails and eye-catching designs.

If you had the pleasure of riding one of these boards, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.

Street, park, pool, vert, downhill, carving, longboard, speed racing, banked slalom… Dregs sold boards for all riders; boards that were thing a of speed and beauty.

But if you’re here, you’re probably wondering – what happened to Dregs? And why are these boards so hard to find today?

Well, it’s a sad story.

But to start with the inevitable…

Dregs Skateboards Went Out Of Business in 2013

You won’t find any new Dregs longboards for sale because the company went out of business way back in spring 2013.

We don’t have the exact details of what happened, but their assets were seized and sold at auction in either late 2012 or early 2013. The shop was boarded up and their support phones disconnected.

Rumours swirled of financial mismanagement and a failed distribution side-project that eventually led to bankruptcy.

All of which is a great shame because these boards were the stuff of infamy.

The original Dregs website went offline in 2013, and their boards have become increasingly harder to find ever since.

Biker Sherlock: The Man Behind Dregs

The man who founded Dregs is Michael “Biker” Sherlock, a New Jersey native and professional downhill skateboarder and street luger.

Biker had an incredible career, competing in the ESPN X-Games and winning gold in his first professional street luging race.

His resume is one of the most decorated in the history of downhill skateboarding – from 1998, he held a spot in the Guinness Book of Records for Most Golds at the X-Games.

But for many of us, he is most known for his founding of Dregs Skateboards in 1996.

The company designed and sold street luge equipment, as well as longboard skateboards and mountainboarding equipment.

What Made Dregs Skateboards Special?

The grand promise of Dregs was always: “Skate harder and faster than ever before.“

And their decks set about making this a reality.

With eye-catching and quirky designs, you could always pick a Dregs out from the crowd – if you had time to see it. These boards were prime for rapid downhill cruising across a variety of terrains. They offered excellent stability and smooth turning with rugged durability that really set them apart from the competition.

The company designed a variety of decks that were appropriate for every skill level – from the veteran long boarder, to a complete novice taking to the street for the first time.

“Biker” died on December 2, 2015.

Originally, it was believed that he committed suicide due to depression through chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), although some experts believe skater Michael ‘Biker’ Sherlock was murdered.
