Felt like grabbing a cruiser today and got some brand new parts for really cheap. Can't wait to do beer runs with this. Or maybe just get from point A to point B, whatever the case is - I'm excited!
The deck is made by 5Boro NYC and measures 7.6" x 29.5".
These are 3.5 Krux Trucks and measure perfectly with the small cruiser deck. I remember almost having a chance to buy the hot pink colours several years ago but passed. Fortunately, I found them once again.
These 52mm Bones 100s should help me get around for the time being before saving enough for some real cruiser wheels. They also work well with some Spitfire Cheapshots bearings.
Couldn't resist picking up Plan B's True DVD. The price was great and after seeing this on the big screen when it premiered a few years ago, it's worth owning.
Grab yourselves a copy and support your local skate shop.
One of my most wanted jerseys finally fell into my hands this week and couldn't be any more happy with this pickup. This is a Toronto Blue Jays alternate jersey of their greatest pitcher in franchise history; Roy "Doc" Halladay.
The older run Majestic Athletic jerseys were the best in my opinion. The logo on the chest is fully embroidered. The details on the back are done up in double and triple layered pro tackle twill. A real standout is the top silver material of the numbers.
Born on May 14, 1977 in Denver, CO, Harry Leroy Halladay III was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1995 and made his pro debut in 1998. His first career win came in a one-hit game on September 27. In 2002, he made his first All-Star Game appearance and won the the American League Cy Young Award the next year. In 2010, "Doc" was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.
After a four year run in the National League, Roy Halladay signed a 1-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and announced his retirement to finish his career with the club he started with. Upon retiring, he compiled a 203-105 W-L record, 3.38 earned run average, 2117 strikeouts, 67 complete games, and 20 shutouts.

Great pickup off eBay this past week, I was able to scoop up a San Antonio Spurs David Robinson Hardwood Classics Swingman jersey.
The details are done up in screen printed tackle twill. This is the road style jersey worn by the Spurs in the mid-90's. This was also the season David Robinson led the league in scoring [29.8 PPG] and became one of the few players to register a quadruple-double [34 points, 10, rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks].
Born in Key West, FL on 6 August 1965, David Robinson was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the #1 overall pick in 1987 and made his professional debut two years later. He would receive the Rookie Of The Year Award for his efforts. Throughout his career, he'd accomplish some of the greatest feats on the court and earn many awards throughout his time in the NBA. Furthermore, players given the NBA's Community Assist Award receive the David Robinson Plaque; an award named in his honour.

This entry is centered around a Charlotte Hornets Jamal Mashburn jersey I found at a great price from an antique market. There are several flaws to it, but you can't expect perfection 100% of the time. I am, however, stoked to pick up such a classic basketball uniform.
This is a Nike Swingman road jersey with screen printed tackle twill and dyed pinstripes. This was worn between 2000-2002 before the team relocated to New Orleans.
Born on 29 September 1972 in New York, New York, Jamal Mashburn was drafted 4th overall by the Dallas Mavericks in 1993. By the end of the season, he was voted to the All-Rookie First Team.
After a short stay in Miami, he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 2000 and stayed with the club when they moved to New Orleans and until the end of his career in 2004. In his 11 year NBA career, he averaged 19.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 4.0 APG.
