Tricky Wrench

 A few weeks ago we got contacted by the guys at Tricky Wrench they were dropping a new pocket sized skate tool. As we here and more or less everyone reading this knows you can never have too many tools so we were stoked to take a look at this new compact skate tool. We kept it close over the course of a few weeks, used it to build out and break down boards and kept it on us for a few sessions, so we could let you know what we thought of it.

Orangatang Balut Freeride
Wheels Session Review

When a company that has a solid foothold in the longboarding scene releases a new product, riders take note. This is the case in point with the release of the Orangatang Balut freeride wheels. After riding two sets of them, we are pleased to report our findings…

There is no doubt that today, more than ever, longboarders are lucky enough to have at their disposal a previously unheard of selection of equipment. This is the best time in the short history of longboard skating. Never before have “non-mainstream” skaters been able to select between the most minute differences in gear specifications. Such is the case with wheels. There are enough different shapes, sizes and urethane types to give any skater an acute case of analysis paralysis. More importantly, all the major players are doing their best to fill every nook and cranny in their equipment lineups with every spec variation possible.
