The Pro-Tec "The Classic" helmet is everything you need in a skateboard helmet. Pro-Tec has been making quality helmets and pads for skateboarding and action sports for years, so you can trust them with something as critical as your head. The Classic helmet is a re-definition of the "Classic Skate", and sacrifices some comfort for more protection.

Mini-Logo Skateboard Deck Review
Mini-Logo skate decks are high quality skateboards available at cheap prices. Different from the usual “blank” skate decks, Mini-Logo decks are actually built from the same 7 ply rock hard maple with the same treatments as the rest of Skate One’s decks, but they are cheaper because they lack graphics. They come in one solid color with a small Mini Logo trademark. Check out this review for more.

Burton Approach Snowskate Review
The Burton Approach Snowskate is very different from the other Burton Snowdecks. It's a simple skate - one piece plastic board that's shaped to give a simple, comfortable, intuitive ride. The Burton Approach Snowskate isn't made for bombing huge hills, but more for backyard fun. And it does a good job with that, being perfect for small tricks, banks, and even half pipes if you take the time to get good. There are a few drawbacks, but overall the Burton Approach is a good, solid snowskate.

Powell Classic Bowlrider Park Formula skateboard wheels are designed to give the perfect amount of slide when skateboarding over transition at your skatepark, pool, or where ever you find the flow you love.

Powell Classic K-10 Skateboard Decks Review
Powell has done a great job in bringing old school designs and boards back to enjoy. These older shapes were made for more carving, bowl riding, and skating around parks. Newer trick boards are perfect for the popular skateboarding of today, but you just can't get the same ride. Plus, if you are a larger guy who just wants to skate, some of the current skateboards out there made for kids just won't cut it. Whatever the case, these Classic Powell K-10's should make anyone happy. Read more.

DC Minar DX Skate Jeans Review
For some people, jeans are jeans. I disagree - especially when it comes to skateboarding. You want tough jeans that fit you well, let you move, and look good. DC Minar DXs are slim fitting, DC Denim button fly skate jeans that come pre-blasted for the DX worn look. While they don't have many other special features, having un-complicated jeans is a good thing. You have enough to think about, without worrying if your jeans will break down or blow a gasket.

Nuclear Pickle Review
The Nuclear Pickle by Flowlab is a longboard with adjustable trucks and a low hanging deck. The Nuclear Pickle rides smoothly, and the construction of the board and the torsion of the trucks allows for some deep dipping, while the flexibility of the deck gives good feedback. The board does have some issues - the deck isn't the strongest, so heavier or more aggressive riders will need to be aware, and the setup doesn't look very serious. Read this Nuclear Pickle longboard review for more.

Sk8nuts Hardware
Sk8nuts hardware replaces the regular nuts used to hold your trucks to your board. The Sk8nut makes it possible to insert and remove the screws without having to use two tools, making working on your board easier. In addition, Sk8nuts screws are built with a thread locking technology that keeps the screws from slipping. Take a look at this review of Sk8nuts hardware to find out more.

Arbor Pin Carver Longboard Review
The Arbor Pin is a carver longboard with a huge wheel base, a wide middle and tapered points - the shape allows for holding long, deep turns. The Arbor Pin longboard's deck is made with true Hawaiian Koa wood to add strength and beauty, and to reach back to the longboard's hawaiian roots in surfing. This is the longest board Arbor makes, with the widest wheel base. it's perfect for carving up the streets. Read the review for more.

Mini-Logo Superlight Skateboard Deck
Mini-Logo decks provide top level features at a great price, due to their lack of graphics. Mini-Logo Superlights are 10% thinner than regular Mini-Logo skate decks, but are built with a K-12 “Hella Concave” – a super deep concave that gives the board added strength. This balances out to a lighter skateboard, without sacrificing too much strength, all at a good price.
