Mike Berdis REPRESENT

Mike got back from King of The Groms. He's got that bunk ankle and scurvy. I guess it is a bad idea to go in an outdoor hot tub in Minnesota in the winter and then roll around in the snow in your swim trucks. You live, You Learn I guess.



So out of all 150 People, Mike was 1 of 8 who entered Expert in All 3 Categories. Bowl, Mini and Street. If you add up those totals Mike was 2nd OVERALL AT 2007 KING OF THE GROMS.

THAT AINT TOO SHABBY! He has got a ton of talent and has a ton of fun skating. You really don't need much else.

Pittsburgh Mini Ramps

I am making a list of all the ramps in pittsburgh for my own personal use. So why don't you tell me and I'll come skate them with you?

WINTER FREAKING SUCKS
I AM GOING IN FREAKING SANE

Mike Berdis King of the Groms *UPDATE*

Mike is on the last of 3 events in the qualifying rounds at this years King of the Groms Contest at 3rd Lair Skatepark in Golden Valley Minnesota. So far he is currently:

8th Overall in Mini Ramp Contest
5th Overall in the Bowl Contest

These are his standings in the Qualifying Rounds and he has qualified for the Finals in Both Events.

The Street Course is up next and he is currently out to lunch with his mom. That is about as up to the minute as I can get for you.

Team Rider Mike Berdis off to King of the Groms

Mike "El Bandito" Berdis is off to 3rd Lair in Minnesota (one of our favorite places) to compete in King of the Groms. I believe this is his second appearance in the K.O.G. contest. This year he has chosed to enter Expert in all categories...Street, Mini, and Bowl.

BEST OF LUCK! This kid is like a freakin terminator whose program malfunctioned. He super rolled his ankle over the weekend at Evolutions in Ohio. Hasnt really walked and done nothing but ice it up. So at a rest stop he gets out of the car and starts landing 360 Flips and Kickflips all over the place.

I will keep you posted as I get more news.

Spitfire and Ricta Wheels OVERLOAD

Just arrived in the shop. Spitfire and Ricta Wheels. Starting at $24.95, Available in OVER 35 STYLES between the two companies in sizes from 48 MM to 63 MM. You can definately find a wheel you like.

Spring time is the the perfect time for new skateboard wheels. As your wheels wear down the amount of wheel that makes contact with the riding surface increases. You will see old skateboard wheels look almost like cubes. The are as wide as they are tall. The more of your wheel that makes contact with the ground the more friction and resistance there will be.

New wheels have groves cut into them. This actually reduces the amount of surface contact by 50%. New wheels roll and feel so fast and smooth because so little of the wheel is actually making contact with the ground.

You should always consider replacing your skateboard bearings everytime you replace your wheels. This will give you the best performance and smoothest ride

R.I.P. Skatepark of Natrona

For 4 Years we ran a small little skatepark along side our shop. In that time we had 9 different setups, which is pretty crazy in itself. We had a ton of fun and met so many people.

This video was edited by Team Rider Chris Morgan. The footage is obviously very dated. It is funny just too see how young these guys were. They are just down to skate and skate anything (Our skateparks proved that -- ha ha)

Enjoy the video for what it does:
Showcase a Time in Natrona's History.

NEW - Old School Skateboards Section

I often get "Wow! You guys have a ton of old school skate products and even products over 8 Inches Wide. Why didn't I know anything about this?"

It was always on the site, but it was organized with all of the regular skateboard products. So after an intervention with Dave and Kevin from my hospital bed while I was still on anesthesia and pain killers after my hernia surgery, I agreed to let Dave build an Old School Skateboards Section on the site. Check it out. It is pretty rad. I didn't know we had this much stuff either. We have currently sub-catagorized the section into Decks, Trucks, Bearings, Wheels, Accessories, and Videos

How to Grip a Deck in Under 10 Seconds

Some one bet me at the shop that I couldn't grip a deck in under ten seconds. Well, it was probably more of me going, "I bet I could grip a deck in under 10 Seconds." And then someone else went, "oh yeah....I bet you can't". So I actually did it in 9.067 seconds. I probably could have done it atleast a second faster if I didnt go back and trim it up at the end. You'll see...take a peep:

PRODUCT REVIEW - Bones Cleaning Bottle

We have not been able to keep these puppies in stock. This is by far one of the best systems we have seen for cleaning your bearings.

It is very easy to use. Just unscrew the wing nut and alternate 1 bearing / 1 washer. Load it up with your favorite cleaner and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. We had one that we used in the shop a while back, but some one stole it. That is how you know it is a quality product.

It is only $9.95. Click Here
