Kadence Canvas Complete


It's always worth the trip to your local skate shop because you never know what board will be added to the sale section. I've always admire the shape and look of Kadence Skateboards, and when I saw the reduced price - it was an easy steal. Kadence is originally a distro company and easing their way into the skate deck category. Great riders on the team with excellent/solid service.


This deck measures 8.5" wide. I decided to keep it blank because it has a really clean look to it.


I picked up a set of Thunder Erik Ellington 149 Trucks from an online. Slightly scratched, but perfect enough. Also, EE is the freakin' king.


A set of Austyn Gillette sml. Wheels. These were lying around for a while and will go great with this Kadence board considering they also distribute the wheels throughout Canada.


This MOB x Suicidal Tendencies grip was also something lying around and had to break it out for this deck. Seeing how the bottom is blank, the top has to compensate.

You! Can't! Bring! Me! Down!

Spitfire Wheels x Firewater x Raney Beres


Pretty stoked to finally receive these Spitfire Raney Beres pro model wheels. I was fortunate enough to win them in a bid on eBay and looking forward to finally skate a set of their Formula 4 technology.
Ride the fire.


The seller also threw in a few stickers from another favourite brand of mind; Krook3d. Get it straight, ride Krook3d.

Creature Skateboards x Ogre 2 x Stu Graham


I was in search of a cruiser deck and came across this awesome piece at Hammer Skateboard. It's a Creature Skateboards Stu Graham Ogre 2 pro model. Although it's a modern popsicle shape, the board measures 9" x 33", making it just wide enough to maintain my stability. Not only does the board right great, but the graphic is out of this world.


Here's how the board looks as a complete. I applied a sheet of MOB and clear grip, a set of Thunder Trucks 151, OJ Keyframes Wheels, Diamond Hardware, and Mini Logo Bearings.
