Thunder Trucks 148s


Just received a set of the new Thunder 148 Trucks. This features an 8.25" axle and is meant for decks measuring 8.12" to 8.38". I'm very excited to give these a go and hook them up to the American Zero deck I recently purchased. Much thanks to the great staff at Deluxe Dist. and Supra Dist. for sending these, fully comp'd, due to a defected product I messaged them about.

3D Skateboards x Type x Brian Anderson


I know I continuously tell readers to support local skate shops, sadly when a major sale pops up at a mall store, it's too good not to avoid. One particular company had a Buy One, Get One 50% Off Sale on skateboard items and was surprised to see this in a sale bin. The price alone and the fact that it's a Brian Anderson pro model from the now-defunct 3D Skateboards was enough to grab it. Measuring 8.5" x 32.35, it's a little far beyond the dimensions I'm used to. It's strictly for the wall and will stay there for a very long time.

Zero Skateboards x American Zero


As stated earlier, the store was having a BOGO 50% deal on skateboard hardware and I scooped this as well. A very nostalgiac board celebrating the 20th Ann'y of Zero Skateboards is this American Zero graphic. It measures 8.375" x 31.9 which is a size and shape I've never tried before, but looking forward to it. Furthermore, it's pretty reminiscent of a time when skateboarding was most raw and playing as Jamie Thomas in the video games with this deck.

éS Footwear x Accel Slim x Tom Asta


Found a pair of éS Accel Slim shoes and couldn't pass up on the amazing $40 price tag. Like the Accel OG, this is a thinner and lighter version with a special colourway for pro skater and Philadelphia native Tom Asta.
