Toy Machine Fiber Prime deck, 8.0” X 31” The fiber in this Fiber Prime deck isn’t made of wheat or bran like the breakfast cereals of the vegan Toy Machine guys but rather some man-made high-density thermal poly ply. The deck has 6 plies of wood and one of the special fiber material. The feel […]

Width: 7.75 – 8.5 Length: 31.375 – 32.5 Wheelbase: 13.75 – 14.75 Sometimes a graphic can be so hideous or messed up that it can draw you to it like gawkers at a grisly highway accident. The graphic on this deck is one of those. On the surface it’s just a cigar band featuring a […]

Width: Yes Length: Yes! Wheelbase: Adjustable Slalom. I don’t know a damn thing about it. It came from the 70’s and it died in the 80’s, but somehow it’s making a comeback of sorts in this decade. (The 00’s?) In any case. Through a convoluted set of circumstances I found myself with a new slalom […]

8″ x 31.25″ 14.25″ Wheelbase Chances are you might have heard of M and M Skateboards from Portland Oregon if only from the brief spotlight in the Buddy Nichols & Rick Charnoski Film Northwest. In any case, M and M is a small operation (getting bigger!) that started as a DIY project in the late […]

Ok you’ve got your Sigafoos model. Also available is the very cool Death Angel, which is a retro shape reminiscent of the old Santa Cruz Claus Grabke. The art is also don by Ken Sigafoos. The picture here doesn’t do it justice. You’ll have to go to the Extinction web site to see a large […]

Yeah, the Internet! That’s how I found out about this company called Extinction. It’s basically a one man operation based out of Pennsylvania and run by a guy named Scott Foster. At the time of this review he was/is running a special on the two decks shown here, $30 each (includes shipping!) or two for […]

NHS’s Creature is back from the dead, huh? The logo is extra cool, but some of the graphics are kind of generic looking, like a Molly Hatchet bootleg or bad fake tattoos. No web site either except for a flash animation that lets you sign up for mail. Hmmm, maybe this is why we get […]

Yeah, I’ll write’ya a little something about the Sector 9 action machine of mine. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden the thing though… when I think back I can kind of remember the sense of exhilaration, the feeling of radical self-expression when taken to a new and different zone. Yes, it’s coming back to […]

What brand new BMW has a blue book value of $500? It’s the StreeCarver, if you can believe the balls on anyone expecting you to actually shell out that much cash for a skateboard. The StreetCarver actually works quite well. Damn it all if it doesn’t actually handle like a, well, BMW, but it should […]
