Pocket Pistols SkateBoards
Deck and Wheels review

Deck -8.675 x 32 WB=14.75
Wheels-58mm 99a

To begin with this was a great thing to get to review because I am always excited to review square tail boards especially if they are under 9 inches wide. To make things even better the box had a set of 58mm Park Crusher wheels to accompany the deck.This deck was killer and the first one that I have reviewed where I rode it for a whole session right to begin with. This thing came in the mail to me a few months ago and it is still in my car as we speak . It’s the only board I have reviewed so far that I didn’t reshape to my own liking after my review was done. Pocket Pistols decks have tons of pop that just don’t stop even after tons of abuse in parks pools and to the liquor store. The wheels were a great match with the deck and fast as hell. They felt a little harder than 99a but I rode them in the Combi and survived so their not too hard for all terrain. The wheels come in a variety of sizes for street, park or pool whatever you want they have it . The boards also come in a variety of sizes for all skaters and terrain . There team is a good one with all kinds of talent ripping all over everywhere so go support someone who is doing things right. www.pocketpistolskates.com

OJ 3’s Wheels

I got some OJ threes the other day and they couldn’t have come at a more perfect time since my wheels I was riding wear annihilated. To make things even better these wheels were 58mm(my size) and a great shape(not to thin). I have tested these things out in pools,parks, ramps, and your grammas house and they are the shit. These things are very fast and grip when you need it on those sharp lines in slippery pools. On www.strangenotes.com there is even a video that shows you how to dye them different colors so you can have tuff guy black or poke it in the butt pink if you don’t like the color that they come in which is white. These bad boys come in 58mm, 60mm and 63mm ,demand these at you local shop and get some under your ride NOW!! –Review master General

Nixon Watches

Model=Fidelity

A couple of months ago a received a box from Nixon watches. I stopped wearing a watch a few years ago because I always destroy them at a rapid pace. Well when I opened the box I figured that there would be some bling-bling, yo-yo, Rob Dyrek wrist wear but to my pleasant surprise the contents were all Black. This watch was plain, simple and very comfortable to wear. It sucks if you have to take a watch off ever time you skate because it’s uncomfortable. If this happens usually the watch slowly gets fazed out of daily wear. Well it’s been a while now and the watch is still on my wrist and not destroyed yet. If you need a watch check out www.nixonnow.com there is something for everyone from bling bling to flat black Nixon has it all.-Review Master General

Cutthroat Skateboards

Pirates Grotto Model 8.25 wide and 32 long 14.78 wheelbase

This board just came in the other day and I was totally stoked to see the shape when I opened it up because it was 8.25 wide(my favorite size) and had a square tail. There are not too many companies out there that make a smaller square tail like this board most of them are 8.5 and bigger. The wood is great and definitely took a good beating and kept of rolling with no chips or delams to worry about. The nose is a little more pointed than most boards but that just adds to the unique shape of this piece of wood.The wheel base is 14.78 which is great for skating pools , parks and everything else. This is a great board with solid wood from Arizona and definitely worth checking out . There are a few other shapes and sizes available at the website www.cutthroatjane.com go check it out and support the little guys cuz their doing things right. –Review Master General

Ogio Ty Video Back Pack – Needing a new bag to house some gear might lead you to an overpriced photo shop for a bag that doesn’t measure up to the cost. Ogio is not one of these bags. The backpack that was sent over for review is the Ogio Ty Video Backpack. If you’re into videography or photography, this is the bag for you. It can hold 2 vx 2100s of Canon GL 2s, plus lens, batteries, your digital camera, clips for a tripod, and to boot a spot for your laptop, all in a light weight back pack. If you skate and film, this is what ya need for any of your missions. The bag has a light system so if you’re a night owl, you can find what you need with no hassle. Another tight feature is the inside cover of the back pack has four sleeves for mini dvs which also are clear. You can read and find the tape you’re looking for in a quick glance instead of digging through the pool dust in the bottom of your bag. Don’t waste your money on one of the photo shop bags when you can rock this pack for a reasonable price if you search around online.

Navigator Trucks - 7.75 wide trucks

Navigator tucks sent a set of trucks over awhile ago and it took a little time to get these things under a board since I usually don’t ride a 7.75 wide board but one came along so it was time to try out these trucks. To begin we all know what trucks we like and most have a sworn allegiance to what ever trucks they ride . That being said these trucks turn really good, grind really good and over all were great trucks. There are some pins that go thru the hanger and into the axle to prevent slippage that happens with some other trucks that are out there. The Navigators seemed to be a tad bit heavier than some other trucks but made up for that with the no slip axle pins. The only real down fall for these trucks would be how they look.Some people told me that they couldn’t stand the bent hanger look that these trucks have but when the same people rode the trucks they couldn’t tell the difference when they grinded. If your tired of the trucks you’ve been riding or just want to try something different than check out a pair of Navigators. Eventually they are rumored to be making bigger trucks as well as the smaller sizes. www.navigatortrucks.com -Review Master General
