TSG Evolution Knock on Wood

Evolution Wood – TSG Longboard Helmet

Stay safe and knock on wood with TSG’s Evolution helmet in a new wood print.

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.

Available now at the link. Visit TSG and pick one up today!

Kebbek’s 2017 lineup–their 25th anniversary collection–was dope to begin with, and these precursors make so much sense. They killed it on the 2016 collection, killed it on the Kebbek Shortcuts, and then blew us away on their 25th anniversary lineup.

You may have guessed by the name, but we love longboards. Want more reviews just like this? Enter your email and we’ll let you know when new products get released so you’re the first to cop.

New Insert Bushings from Skate Blood Orange are shipping on the latest Precision Trucks from Caliber!

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!

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.

2016 Lineup – Kebbek Skateboards

2016 marks the 24th year Kebbek Skateboards has been in business and to celebrate they have completely redesigned their line (Check out their 25th anniversary lineup here). They launched their new decks in January at the ISPO Munich trade-show. New artistry accompanies new shapes and technology this year.

Kebbek’s Design Style

Three different series of graphics showcase Kebbek’s artistic style. The Skatehouse series by Robbie Lariviere is reminiscent of the antics you may find in a house of skaters. Together the four graphics complete a larger panorama of a skate home, all it’s occupants included.

The Outdoor Series is also by Robbie but the two graphics in this series uniquely represent the pro’s they were made for. Ben Dubreuil and Emma Daigle’s graphics each appeal to their personalities.

Pascal Herbert delivers the Bio Suit series with an animal-style familiar to the past 24 years of releases from Kebbek.

Shapes include the Top Mount 36, Twin Kix, Smooth Cut 34 & 37, Ben Dub, Emma, Amane Kishida and the Dig Deep. They feature radial drops, flush-mount, drop-through and top-mount options, multiple wheelbases and precision cut wheelwells.

Kebbeks’ new lineup for 2016 is an excellent demonstration of their skill and style. We’re particularly fond of the new Top Mount 36. Grab one of your own at link and join Kebbek on a stylish new ride.

So, have you found your next board yet? If there’s one thing for sure, Kebbek doesn’t fail on artistic flair.

By now, you know that we also reviewed their 2017 lineup. Want to know when we review more Kebbek gear? Sign up for our email list! We’ve got plenty more reviews in the pipeline and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Hollow Standards – Caliber Trucks

New conventional trucks from Caliber Truck Co focus on quality while reducing weight. Hollow Kingpins and hollow axles!

Caliber Trucks recently released a new traditional-kingpin truck with an emphasis on lightweight performance. The new Standard Hollow is nearly identical to their original Standard but features hollow, heat-treated axles and kingpins. The new axle and kingpins shave 35g or more of weight from each truck when compared to it’s Standard counterpart. Heat treating the axle and kingpin allows them to accomplish this without compromising on strength.

The new hollows are available individually in the following widths at the link:

  • 135MM: $23.50
  • 148MM: $23.75
  • 160MM: $24.0

They come equipped with 8-hole baseplates and 92a Blood Orange bushings just as the Standards.
