Safety First, Triple Eight Brainsaver and Padsets From Skate Hut

Pursuing outdoor sports is a fantastic way to have fun although inevitably, at least to start, with you’ll end up landing on your behind, knees, hands, or woe betide your head! Make sure you get a properly fitted helmet to protect your brains. I like the Triple Eight Brainsaver CPSC Certified Helmet for ultimate comfort and impact protection. You can wear it for biking, skateboarding, roller-blading or long boarding and it has a very cool side cut helmet design. There’s no need to be weighed down by it either as it’s super feather-weight material construction which doesn’t impact on it’s shock absorbency. Lined with an outer foam layer and soft wicking fabric for maximum comfort.

 

It’s worth trying out some knee-pads too. The less bruises the better! And you can’t really fault the ultimate protection that PRO-TEC Vert Ramp Drop-In Knee Pads offer. They’ve got anatomically shaped hard caps that fit over your knees that can be replaced when they start to wear out. A built-in wear indicator will help you keep an eye on it.

Deck

 

I’m riding the Razor Ultra Pro deck at the moment and its proving to be an amazing deck. before i got it i wasnt to keen on the idea of an ultra pro, but when i got it my opinion changed straight away. As soon as you ride it you feel a huge difference from a normal jd bug or something else. the ultra pro is a little shorter than a standard deck and this turns out to be great for spins and whips and bri's and those sorts of tricks. as well as this. the ultra bro is loads lighter than a standard deck. this makes it such a nice and smooth ride. i also love the weight of an ultra deck. soo light. amazing for bri's and whips.

The new ultra pro deck from razor is super light and strong, at £50 this deck is almost half the price as other decks on the market. Its one piece frame looks so stylish and is twice as strong as previous razors. Razor have improved the whole deck from previous razor’s the head tube is at the perfect angle and you can be sure that your safe to ride it to the extreme as it is so strong.

Rider Review

MICRO XT FORK- The Micro XT forks are very good for the price, as a zero offset fork is normally very expensive. Being so big, it will also last a lot longer than standard forks.
DISTRICT BARS- The District bars are very good, they are Lighter than most one piece bars, but still very strong. The brace to stop the bars from bending increase the strength, and also make the bars very unique ion appearance.
CLAMP-The district clamp is very good looking, and I haven't had a problem with my bars moving since I received it. Personally, I think it is the best looking clamp in the market, it beats French id clamps hands down.
EAGLE SPORT WHEELS- The Eagle Sport wheels that you gave me are very strong and very durable. They are very strong, lightweight, and with the right bearings can increase the speed of my scooter dramatically!
DISTRICT PEGS-The district pegs that you gave me are brilliant. They are definitely worth the money. They are shorter than DOGG scooters 'swish' pegs, but personally I think they are too long. The district pegs are the perfect length, and don't add any weight to my scooter, so I can still do all the tricks.

Skateboarding-Does Size Matter?

Attention aspiring skaters! The size of your skateboard is part of the whole package and is just as important as length, traction and design but not more so. The size you choose is a personal preference but can be affected by your size and weight. A large deck tends to be a good option if you want increased stability. A smaller deck is lighter allowing riders to perform tricks with ease.

 

The correct size of a skateboard is closely related to the skating style of the individual:

 

·         Micro-Perfect for riders up to the age of 5.

·         Mini-Ideal for little riders aged 5 upwards

·         7.5-This is a full size board, great for teens that prefer a slightly larger, heavier board and is good choice for ages 13 and up.

·         7.75-This is one of the most popular sizes and is good for those who are just starting out or those with a little experience.

·         8.0-Great stability for tall riders with a shoe size of 9 upwards.

 

This size guide is meant to give riders an idea of the correct skateboard size for their age, height and experience. The length of the board can be chosen in relation to the way in which you stand naturally on the deck.
