TSG Evolution Knock on Wood

Evolution Wood – TSG Longboard Helmet

Staying safe while you ride is one of the most important aspects of skating and you can do it in style with TSG. Their popular Evolution helmet is now available in a new wood pattern. Construction features a hard, injection molded nylon exterior shell with a shock absorbing EPS foam interior. The wood grain pattern is applied using printed foil so as not to affect the safety features of the helmet.

Wood Helmet Design

Comfort and style remain priorities as well. The anatomical design results in one of the slimmest, best fitting hardshells on the market. It sits low and snug to fully protect the back and sides of your head without sacrificing any freedom of movement. Owners can customize the fit using the included interior comfort pads of varying thicknesses. Thoughtfully located air vents keep the air flowing and your head cool.

Skate Blood Orange Insert Bushings

Insert Bushings – Skate Blood Orange

New Insert Bushings from Skate Blood Orange are shipping on the latest Precision Trucks from Caliber! Poured in their responsive Ultra-HR bushing formula, the new bushings are designed to eliminate the air gap between the bushing, hanger and kingpin. Less play between the interfaces means dramatically improved responsiveness and rapid return to center. While they aren’t currently available individually, the bushings are also compatible with Caliber’s Cast trucks!

Each Precision truck comes with 3 pairs in the durometer/color combinations listed below:

  • Maroon 86a
  • Red 89a
  • Yellow 92a

Caliber + Skate Blood Orange

The partnership we love! Since the beginning, Caliber has used Blood Orange bushings with their trucks–like their Hollow Standards. It really helped them deliver the full package to riders when they were young. And we’re happy to say that they’ve continued the partnership.

DK Dropkick Concave

DK DropKick – Eastside Longboards

The DK DropKick is Eastside Longboard’s response to requests for a double-kick version of their popular Carbon DropKick Deck. Released in 2006, the Carbon DropKick is one of Eastside’s original offerings and it’s versatile shape is well-rounded for many riding styles. The DK DropKick improves on this design with a double-kick, new dimensions and a new mold.

DK Dropkick Board R&D

Eastside has spent 8 months developing and prototyping the new DK DropKick. It measures 39.5″ long and 9.75″ wide with a 26.75″ wheelbase. The standing platform is approximately 23″ between the drop-through truck mounts. The new mold adds a subtle W-shaped concave, providing a nice reference for foot placement while still being comfortable for long distance pushing. Slight changes to the rocker and solid 9-ply Maple construction ensure the deck is rigid enough for a double-kick.

Eastside expects the new model to be available before the end of 2016. We’ve reached out for a more specific ETA. Keep an eye on Eastside’s shop and hit the link to head over and purchase one when available!

Update: The DK DropKick will be available for purchase on August 5th! Check out the company’s official announcement and enter to win one before the release.
