Sacrifice Skateboards: Home of your pool dwelling hesher fiends is Sacrifice. 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 Blue Ribbon Pool an 8.25 inch plank that is light but sturdy. When I was riding it, the trucks in the picture seemed to fit perfectly, but for some reason they look a little kooky in the picture. In any case, you’ll dig this board.
This board was the first one I had ridden in while where I was able to get used to it quickly. It’s a standard shape, yeah, but it really felt comfortable under my feet. Sacrifice is an up and coming company that I’m sure you’ll be hearing more of as they seem to be getting a lot of good press lately.
Also on the horizon is a new video from Sacrifice that is a quantum leap from previous efforts. It’s got some super 8 footage and killer editing, At least that’s what the trailer would lead us to believe. Haven’t seen it yet, but it looks very promising.
