Airwalks: Trick tips with Andy Mac By: Danny W

I got this movie at the amazing price of .77 cents. It was a really good find too. It shows you how to Ollie, Kickflip, 50-50, boardslide and do mini ramp tricks (including dropping in) I already knew how to do these but I had to check it out since it was that cheap.

I really liked this video. It is 10 minutes long but it gives you very good tips to do trick then has a little skate video at the end.

It wasn't what I expected but you just can't beat 77 cents, I don't think you can find it for that cheap but if you can I would recommend getting it if you need help with some of those tricks, or just like Andy Mac. 

I would give it 7/10 

Almost: Round 3 by: Danny W

I just got to say this was just plain out amazing...I saw this video about half a year ago and it was one of the best skate videos that I have ever seen. It has everyone from the almost* team including: Rodney Mullen, Daewon Song, Ryan Sheckler and Chris Haslam. The first thing I noticed was the style, every thing was so clean. One other thing that I really enjoyed about this video was the music. It had everything from Jimi Hendrix to The Killers. I was in shock when I saw Rodney Mullen do a 720 double Kickflip. The thing that impressed me the most was the talent the Chris Haslam showed. I never really heard of him but after this he became my favorite pro. If you want to see a skate video that will impress you and you will watch it over and over again get Almost: Round 3

10/10

Emerica: Kids in Emerica By: Danny W

First of all the Emerica team is amazing in this video. I really liked everyone's parts. I didn't really like some of the music and it would of been better if there was music I knew more then music I did not even know. I really liked Tosh's part. This was a great skate video with awesome parts in awesome spots pulling amazing tricks. I really liked the variety in this. I got kind of annoyed about how the parts weren't in sections they were just kind of in random order. I really liked this video, this is worth see but I wouldn't waste money on buying it.

7/10

Decks:

Media By: Danny W

Media skateboards site

Media skateboards are a really good brand. Most people have never heard of them but I am trying to help get the word out for them.

As soon as I stood on the deck I noticed the concave, It was not too much but just right. It felt really good under my feet. So I started riding it a little, I ollied (just to test the pop) and it was the highest I have ever ollied. I Thought wow this board is really good. I tried to Kickflip, got it on first try. I also noticed how light the board was.

ok those are the aspects for performance. Now lets get to the Graphics. These are most of the reason I picked out the board to try. The graphics are really, really nice. They are smoothly pressed graphics that have great slide. They were really nice looking and didn't come off or just chip away really easy.

Finally lets get down to the final part. The price was really cheap it was 30$ (USD) so I was really happy. The board lasted about as long as most pro boards do.

I highly recommend these boards! 9/10

Trucks:

Industrial By: Danny W

Industrial trucks are really good trucks. They are a new company but their trucks are really amazing. They are light, They have great slide, the look good, and they are really cheap trucks. Most trucks seem light but these trucks are very light. They are comparable to thunder trucks. They have a very nice shape and they are durable.

My main point: THESE ARE AWESOME TRUCKS!!!!

8/10

Phantom 2's By: copsandprepssuck

Well these are great trucks. They grind great, they are pretty cheap, they are light, they are durable, and they just have a cool look to them. They also have shock pads which absorb the shock when you land, this helps keep your board free of pressure cracks. It's basically like a built in riser. If you're looking for new trucks, I'd go with Phantom 2's. Overall I give them a 9/10.

Shoes:

Airwalks By: Danny W

Well let me start of by saying Airwalks are bad

now that I got that out of the way...These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had, that's were the 3 in the rating comes in. EVERYTHING else about these shoes sucked. They ripped easy they did not absorb shock well. The grip was kind of like regular shoes. They are not for skating and I would not recommend these.

On the plus side they are really cheap shoes I will give them that

3/10

éS accel by: Fletch

first off, I want to say that these shoes are great!, and they could probably satisfy anyone.

These shoes are very nice looking, although they don't seem to durable, they actually are very tough. I have worn éS Accel PJ Ladd Colorways for about a month now, and the only damage that the shoe has suffered is an abrasion the size of my thumbnail. These shoes are very comfortable, because they either come with sti-foam inner sole and system G2 heel gel cushion (or both!). The system G2 is a scientific breakthrough in skateboarding. It provides the most protection from heel bruise from any other leading gel insert. Sti-foam is a inner sole that cushions your foot from impact, and never bottoms out over time.

There are some down sides to this shoe, though. These shoes are very difficult to break in and take time in doing so.

these shoes I must say are very, very, very good GO BUY THEM NOW.

overall I give the Accel 9/10.

Bearings:

FKD abec 7 Bearings by: Danny W

These bearings are ripping fast. They are quiet too. I have had mine since the start of April and they are still holding up. They are sturdy so they don't bend or dent. They stay fast for awhile and when they start to slow down you can use the bearing oil it comes with. I would get extra bearing oil if you want to keep them fast because they last a long time. They are around 30$ for 8 and it comes in a protective case with bearing oil. Pretty good. Mine still are not bent, I got them rusty and I cleaned them and they work awesome to this day. They come broken in so you don't have to worry about that part. They roll for a really long time so you don't have to keep pushing like some cheaper bearings. Once you have used them for awhile you will notice that they do get dirty like all bearings so you can clean them out as good as you can and they still work. They only slow down when they start to rust. After awhile they will always look dirty, the bearing cover stays on!  9/10

Griptape:

Jessup By: Danny W

This grip is really amazing. I had it when I got my first board and it stayed on and good as new when it broke (my first board took awhile to break) It was really grippy. If you have the problem with grip wearing out then get some Jessup it doesn't ware out. This grip is still around the cheapest that you can get. It is comparable with black magic. 10/10
