Dakine bags are eveywhere, and they're success is obviously because of their quality. Though these bags aren't the cheapest ones you can find, they're probably the best. In most cases its worth the extra $20-$50, buying a Dakine bag and having it last for so much longer.[album=Dakine_Park_Bag] [/album]The Dakine Park Bag, which we're reviewing here is probably the most common bag, easily used for anything. I use it for school daily along and bring it along most of the times when skating and travelling. Taking a look at the pictures you can see its got a skateboard holder, extremely solid looking. Its made out of really tough rubber, and secured very well on the bag, easily able to hold a skateboard.

This griptape is commonly found on online skate shops, its usually the cheapest aswell. Blankdecks.com for example has it, and thats where we got this from, on one of their decks. A dollar cheaper then anything else...

Ok, so Grits Griptape is no well known brand, its simple black griptape. Sticking it on, nothing seems out of the ordinary, the glue is fairly strong, it feels a bit weeker then some good label grip tapes but nothing major. The grip itself also feels good, once again, possibly a bit less rough and solid then some others.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, if you can submit your own videos to be used on site for the video trick tips, or if you can write product reveiws for stuff you own with a few pictures, much like ours, please help us out. Send everything to webmaster@skateboard-city.com and make sure you give us your username on the forum. Your trick tips, videos and reveiws must be of decent quality if you expect them to get used on the site,

Bones Reds bearings are the standard in skateboaridng, and it's not because they're average or middle of the road. Bones Reds bearings cost about as little as any bearing does, they're not ABEC rated, and yet they are known by all skaters as the best bearing out there when cost/quality is considered. [album=Bones_Reds] [/album]
They have got removable rubber shields, and come pre-lubricated with Bones Speed Cream. They run great as soon as you put them on and stay that way. They're durable, they're fast, and they're made in China so they're very well priced.

These are the first American pro model shoes that I have tried. They look cool but they are not made for walking around, they are made for skating. [album=Mullen_GlobeTensor] [/album]
As I walked out of the shop they were really comfy, but after using them they were a bit uncomfy. The reason was because you have to break them in. I wore them for a day around the house and after that they were fine, just a little stiff. This all changes as soon as you step on a board they instantly become flexible. They have gel packs in the heel and below that there are air pockets for heavy landings.

New Darkslide trick tip, thanks to Paul Hakel agian! Sent in a nice video and written portion to go with it.
Then Dcsk8ter submitted a few videos to us. Hes actually a goofy skater, but I labeled all of his videos as "switch". We eventually want to get every trick tip in every stance filmed. So in the end its not going to matter if its switch regular or goofy.
Submit all your trick tips to my e-mail. Still trying to sort out a few things, keep checking, updates will be more regularly now.
