Bearings
| Bones Reds: Good bearings. Fast reliable. Cool colours. Don't try to clean them they just screw up if you do. Don't try to ride with no shields either. Ha don't ask. Anyways there good and cheap to. Come with bearing spacers and a cool sticker. 8/10 Check the Pic |
| Generic Ruins Abec 3 : These sucked I thought but my wheels blew even worse so I'm sure the bearings worked fine but my wheels slowed you down. Jay's got them and there good. Oh I rode them on my good wheels and they rode good but weren't strong at all. I once jumped of the kicker and when I landed the shield blew off and all the ball bits flew out. So no more bearing. That happened to about 5 or 6 of them. They work for a year then blow apart. 6/10 Check the Pic |
Boards
| Ruins Blank Deck :
Awsome deck lasts forever. Mine is a piece now but it was good. There is pressure cracks running the length. But when I was using it it hauled was unbreakable had good pop and medium concave. Sweet deck. It was just a plain black deck that said RUINS in the middle. Jays got a green one and he's tried to break it but can't. He's even curb stomped it and jumped in the middle as hard as he can, it just won't break. 9/10 Check the Pic |
| Enjoi Rodney Mullen Quack Quack :
Great deck but is looking pretty worn after 9 months of hard skating. Lots of pop and mad concave. Its holding up good. I thought I broke it a couple of times but its good. It chips lots after a while. When I got it, it was 31.5" long now it's 30". Worn down a lot. I learned almost all the tricks I can do on it. 9/10 Check the Pic |
| CWB Nirvana 135 2002:
This is my wakeboard and it is gnarly. I love it. I haven't really ridden anyone else's except Jay's and his feels the same so I can't really compare it to anything. I can do good turns and airs on it. I can also do surface 180's so that's cool. I think its a bangin board with wicked graphics to. 10/10 Check the Pic |
Trucks
| Grind King GK 6 Canadian Baseplate: Um....Really good trucks. Light good turning good grindage. Nothin's broken yet. Cool baseplate comes with stickers and um........GET THESE!! 10.5/10 Check the Pic |
| Independent Trucks: The Indy's are very durable but that does come with its negatives. It is on the heavy side so many a grom will complain about that. They do come with good bushings and they turn good so I like them. I have an old pair on my spair deck. 8/10 Check the Pic |
Wheels
| Blank Ruins 54mm : These are good wheels. There soft so they give a good ride. I've had mine for a long time. When I got the they were 54mm now there 45mm. I need new wheels. Check back for a new review soon. Cheap and good wheels. 10/10 Check the Pic |
| Ruins 52mm:
I got these wheels for Christmas and they are wicked gnar. I have ridden them on the mini ramp and just around in my basement. They are really hard so they are fast. It is a Dual Durometer wheel so it has an inner core which makes it harder and its easier on my bearings. Nice graphics as well. 9/10 Check the Pic |
Shoes
| Duffs Moses: I just got these shoes and there really comfy and wide. Major grippy, the whole bottom of the shoe is like the part you can see in the pic on the bridge part. I've skated in them probably 6-10 times and the ollie pad part is sorta ripping nothing major though. The bottom is still good. I got these cause they looked cool and Moses Itkonen wears them on RDS/FSU/2002 so I bought them. Never do that. I could have got these, Emerica Kircharts or Lakai. I probably should have got the Emerica's cause I think there better. I will get Emerica's next time. Oh well these seem to be doin' the trick and they do look cool and everyone is like nice shes where did you get them. Anyways. 8/10 Check the Pic |
| Hawk Newtons These were good shoes lasted about 5 and a half months and they were dead so I got the Duffs. These had good ollie pad and good foot and heel support. The bottom wore down kinda fast. Wouldn't really recommend them but they were good. 8/10 Check the Pic |
| DVS Berra 2 I have had these DVS Berra's since August and they are holding up fine, with a little shoe goo mind you. Super comfy cause they have these crazy soles that mold to your feet. There is no lace protection so I had to shoo goo the laces at the loops but whatever. They look styley as well. I wear them golfing to and they are bangin'. 9/10 Check the Pic |
| Globe Mumford I have had these shoes for about half a year now and they are holding up crazy good. I do my fair share of kickflips and the toes are still in tack. The comfort factor is great it's like skating with no shoes on ( i don't know if that's a good thing) but they are that comfortable, and light. If you want strong good looking shoes that won't drain your bank account then check out the globe mumfords. 9/10 Check the Pic |
Miscellaneous
| Shoo Goo This stuff is the lifeline for shoes. They extend the life by ten times at least. Just slap it on, wait overnight then skate it up. You don't have to worry about your toe wearing through. You can use it for other stuff other than for shoes as well. My next door neighbor ripped the foam kneepadding on his kneepad and he patched it up with da goo. 10/10 Check the Pic |
| Shorty's Silverado's Shorty's is known more for good hardware than boards. The Silverado's are no exception, these things are good. I have had these for like 2 years and they still are really good. I got the allen key style but you can also get phillips style.10/10 Check the Pic |
| Tech Deck FingerBoards Tech Decks are fun to mess around with when you can't skate or injured. They are also good for school when your class is a snoozefest. I have a ZooYork one and i put real griptape on it and it is the shiznit.9/10 Check the Pic |
