Need to replace your skate bearings? Check out this article from http://www.smbbearings.com/Skate_bearing.htm, we take the mystery out of the techie stuff! See who we sponsor & maybe add yourself to our list?

I always throw in a gift card from our local skate shop XLR8. One thing you should always do is shop at your local skate shop or skate park. Support the skateboarders, stay away from the chain stores/retail stores and support the people who support your local skate scene, who sponsor your local skaters and really care about skateboarding.
