(More customer
reviews)In my misspent youth (this was long before
Ritalin), my skate-rat friends I would scavenge sheets of half-inch
and ¾-inch plywood, pen 12- and 15-inch wide boards thereon, and
get dead arms sawing them to life. The door-on-roller-skates ride,
off-center truck holes, and bolted/nailed-on kicktails were no
treat, but the Dogtown graphics we added were the point of the
whole exercise.
Decades later, I had to buy a legit Dogtown wideboard, just to see
what less incompetence might have wrought.
The circa-1978 Wes Humpston graphic gives a nod to the screaming
chicken hood decal adorning Pontiac Trans Am hoods starting in
1973. On a board almost as big as a Trans Am hood, it works. Oh,
and the artwork is better in person, and not just subtly.
The fluorescing fowl is flanked by big -- nay, huge -- wheel wells
that go four plies deep. These reduce the odds of wheel bite
(urethane-to-wood contact sometimes followed by face-to-concrete
contact) and dial in a bit of what car designers call "surface
excitement."
I've seen at least one claim that this board has a very slight
concave, and maybe some examples do. Mine, however, is old-school
flat from snubbed nose to the start of the squared-off tail.
The fairly standard 15.5-inch wheelbase offers a familiar balance
between quickness and stability, making this slab o' maple
maneuverable enough for street and park use, though you might find
it a little wide for pools.
Ride quality is where all that wood underfoot becomes an
unqualified advantage, damping bumps and vibrations better than
those countless millions of identical popsicle stick decks. Set up
with wide trucks (I use 215 mm Indies), risers, and tall, soft
wheels (76 mm Kryptos; not for everyone), the ride is more Cadillac
than Trans Am.

Lucky Jackpots Skateboard
Bearings (8 pack)
Skateboard bearings mount your wheels to the axle. Maintaining your
bearings is essential to getting all that you can out of your
board. All skateboard bearings are the same size. It takes 8
bearings to fully upgrade a board. Two bearings per wheel one on
each side of it to keep it stable and to help prevent grinding on
the axle. The industry standard size is 608 with an 8 mm bore, a 22
mm outer diameter and a width of 7mm. Bearings rated under the ABEC
scale are typically called "precision bearings," and they are rated
with a number from 1 to 9. Higher ratings are given to bearings
manufactured against a higher standard of precision. A high number
means tighter tolerances, higher quality and a more expensive
bearing.

Mongoose MG102 Guitar
Skateboard
Ride like the pros with the fully loaded Mongoose MG102 Guitar
skateboard. Outfitted with a nine-ply rock-hard maple deck,
heavy-duty Mongoose cast-alloy trucks, and ABEC 3 carbon bearings,
the board rolls smoothly on both city streets and at the park. The
cool graphics package is what really stands out, however, with a
freakish skeleton jamming on a Stratocaster. Other details include
51 by 36mm PVC wheels and black 80AB grip tape.
About Mongoose In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as
Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its
kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was
designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing
pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty,
one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and
it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip
Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came
into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the
mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet
vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its
size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the
Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.
The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the
Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after,
Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title.
Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the
re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized
models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the
cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles,
leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain
bicycles (ATBs).
In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the
introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied
suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose
launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15%
stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while
functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive
look.
In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to
dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond
it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100
million impressions. Mongooses brand awareness increased by over
130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in
units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and
continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX,
mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross
bikes.

reviews)Great board
I bought this board and skated it very hard. Went down alot of
hills and did ALOT of slides. The deck is super stiff and
responsive, and the gear is top-notch. It's a real "professional"
level long board. One note is that this board is a tall board, and
you can get up curbs with the nose!
The end
After 3 months of skating it it began delaminating. The bottom
layer of carbon fiber and fiberglass had started to separate from
the wood. I took pictures and sent and email to Sector 9 and after
4 months, they sent me a new board! They sent me a new carbon decay
deck.
You might as well get the Carbon Decay.
Another note is that the Trylam is VERY rare.

(More customer
reviews)Just purchased a SLINGZ for my longboard and I
love it! Easy-on, easy-off, folds to fit in your shirt pocket and
still have more than enough room for your keys. I also love the
fact that it allows you to keep both hands on the handlebars while
riding. Reduces the chance of "runaway board" (with a child running
into the street after it) as well.
For the parents: It will be worth its weight in gold when you child
asks, "Can you carry my scooter (Razor,board)?"
Make sure to add one on the list along with helmet and pads!

street skating at its best. There aren't any artsy montages. A new
skater's part begins after the previous one ends. It's good to see
