Another small company making big waves. They have kick ass wood if I do say so myself. You’ve seen the Pabst deck right? There is at least one other company that has bitten the idea, but here is where it started. The […]

Guest reviewer: Troy Sliter When asked by the fine folks at Skate and Annoy to write a review of a freestyle deck I first wondered “Why me?” And then wondered “Who makes freestyle boards these days anyway?” I quickly realized that a freestyler from the eighties that still skates vert is the closest thing to […]

Outlook is an east coast company that is kind of straddling the gap between old and new school. The graphics tend towards the skull and knife and flame theme that had it’s heyday in the eighties, but the shapes are mostly new school. One of the boards we got sent for review was severely warped, […]

Also out of Outlook HQ comes Burley wheels and bearings, to which I happily report, did not arrive warped. More skulls and stuff here, and the wheels and bearings seem to perform about as well as your standard equipment does. Not much to get excited about, but no complaints either. The wheels were fast enough […]

I first saw the Sector 9 name in 1996 while failing to surf for a couple of weeks in Puerto Rico. The graphics were heavy on a 60’s and 70’s surf vibe, which I couldn’t relate to, but the price was appealing. Having ridden a couple of longboards in 80’s (Madrid Mike Smith and Schmittstix […]

So this thing looked kind of interesting on the web site a couple of years ago. Sure, it was a little kooky, but it could be functional too. When it arrived, many months after it was ordered (no joke) it was well crafted but not very functional. The wheels were slow as hell and required […]

These bearings came with the Accel package, but I don’t know if they are part of same family of companies or not. In any case, these bearings performed quite well, and are rated at ABEC7, for what it’s worth. I’ve never seen them for sale but the non-gimmicky packaging would lead me to believe that […]

I got these wheels from everyone’s favorite Smut Peddler and former Accel employee Gish. You know how when you get free stuff and it sucks? Well this wasn’t the case. Gish warned me that these were some hard wheels and that a lot of people couldn’t hang with them. These wheels were as kick ass […]

I can’t in good conscience recommend buying anything from this company. That being said, do as I say, not as I do. These wheels have been turning up in discount bins lately and who can pass up the occasional good bargain? These fatties will roll over just about anything. I can’t vouch for them on […]
