Never Summer - Tyrant Drop Thru 

 TYRANTDT for 15% off the Deck Only or Complete

If you want to want to RULE your street or hill, you need to get the new Tyrant Drop Thru!

Never Summer is kicking off 2012 with a new standard in all-around longboard performance. The Tyrant Drop Thru features all the things that have come to make Never Summers the best longboards on the planet; RDS Stabilization, P-Tech Tip and Tail Protection, 3 year warranty, and of course made here in the USA. The Tyrant DT's new definitive style and shape feature cut-away wheel wells, Drop Thru design and aggressive rocker to lock you in for the ride of your life!

It is an honor to present our first collaboration product: The MuirSkate × Landyachtz "Twelve Two Five" Longboard Skateboard Deck! We have always loved the quality of the Landyachtz lineup and when the opportunity arose to get some custom artwork onto a Nine Two Five deck, we certainly couldn't say no! The concave on this deck is deep, the rocker is poppin', and the gas pedals are crisp! The drop-through design helps the rider keep a lower center of gravity while lending an increased sense of stability. This makes the drop-through Twelve Two Five Freeride Deck a great choice for riders of all skill levels. If you're a fan of top mounts, fear not! We've got you covered as well. By the time you are reading this, the top mount Twelve Two Five Freeride Deck will be in stock as well.

The graphic you see before you comes from the mind of an artist by the name of Kyle Rice. We met him via one of his submissions to our Sticker Contest in early 2011 and felt his design should be enjoyed on more than just a sticker.

Wefunk Roadmaster

One of the, if not the, most highly advanced skateboards available on the market, the WeFunk Roadmaster is an insanely elite deck produced at outrageous effort and expense by a man generally accepted to be the most-knowlegable, most-accomplished, composite speedboard designer, ever.  It costs more than some cars and you don't deserve it, but there is none better, anywhere.  Wait, maybe you do deserve it...  But order in the winter, because they aren't produced in humid months.  Christmas might be exactly the right time...

The Silverfish Longboarding Board Bag

The hardest working bag in longboarding is back again in a limited quantity. The 2012 "'Fish Bag" has all the features and details we created with the original, and now even beefier padding in the hideaway backpack straps and more banzai-ginormouser zippers.  The helmet-flap, key-clip and pocket system are still there, but we've added a full side-zip panel so you can open the bag out flat to sit on at the races. Legendary durability and storage capacity that's hauled boards around the globe.

Skull Crush Carbon Fiber Helmet

With exposed carbon fiber and full safety rating, the Skull Crush helmets are the pinnacle of safety and style with a low slung look and clean lines.  This is the most functional and stylish helmet you can find.

50% Kevlar + 50% Carbon Fiber = 100% STRONG

This is the lightest Skull Crush Helmet model. Every bit as strong as their Beanie model.

Designed for extreme skate applications but used by many motorcyclists.

This has been the best selling model of 2011. There is not another helmet like it anywhere on the market and nothing as strong.

Low Profile (not big and stupid looking)

S-One Lifer

There is no gift that keeps on giving like a helmet. Every skater should have one and every skater should wear one. It's just that simple. 

"The S-ONE Lifer Helmet is designed to fit low on the head like a traditional soft foam skateboard helmet. This helmet is a break through design combining the added safety of a CPSC certified helmet with the comfort of a soft foam helmet. We designed the Lifer Helmet specifically for Skateboarding, Roller Derby and Bicycling. The Lifer has an old school look with the traditional circular air vents."

Bennett Alligator Wheels

Alligator wheels were first introduced in 1977 and at the time, were the most sought after new product. The modern Alligators use Mr. Bennett's famous shape but feature a new high performance "total memory formula" urethane. Alligators are designed with an offset bearing seat, precision core and with a rounded outer lip for maximum grip.  Available in both 62 and 71mm these wheels are great for park skating and longboard cruising. Wheels are shrink wrapped with a classic Alligator decal inserted.

As "under the radar super wheels" go, the 'gators might reign supreme.  These are the rollers that broke the 80mph barrier in 'rado, and yet you'll find'em on slalom racers and freeride carving boards, too.
