_The Sayshun MANIA developed out of the crazy idea to freeride a top mount. The slightly taller deck improves traction, gives you more clearance for pre-grabs and doesn’t hang up on curbs or ripping the park. Back cut wheel wells leaves the door open to many truck/wheel combinations and features the foot locking SAYSHUN progressive tub concave.

LENGTH: 39” | WIDTH: 9.75” | WB: 31” | CONCAVE: P-TUB | FLEX: STIFF

_The Rayne Killswitch is made in two different sizes, normal and small and either drop or topmount. The brainchild of Kevin "K-Rimes" Reimer is finally out and ready to steal your time, your urethane, and your minds. With years of experience riding downhill and a sharp mind, Kevin has taken the time to think about each and every movement you make when riding downhill, and how a board could make those maneuvers easier through being positively "locked in". Ergonomics were the name of the game when this board came to be and it stickhandled through the competition better than Gretzky ever could.

Riedell the number 1 brand in rollerskating, with a spectacular range of products varying from standard rollerskate packages to fully customized set-ups.

This month we have chosen to highlight the Riedell Powerdyne baseplates: the Rieldell Powerdyne Revenge & the Riedell Powerdyne Reactor.

Rollerderby is a fast-growing sport that is rapidly expanding across Europe.  Riedell rollerskates are the rolerskates of choice within the rollerderby scene. While the sport has its origins in the banked-track roller skating marathons of the 1930s. Professional roller derby quickly became popular; in 1940 more than 5 million spectators watched bouts in 50 US cities. Modern roller derby is an international sport dominated by all-female amateur teams, in addition to a growing number of male, co-ed, and junior roller derby teams.

GAMEPLAY
Roller derby is played by two teams of five members simultaneously skating counterclockwise on a circuit track. Each team designates a scoring player (the "jammer"); the other four members are "blockers." One blocker is designated as a "pivot"—a blocker allowed to become a jammer in the course of play. The jammer wears a helmet cover bearing two stars; the pivot wears a striped cover; the remaining members' helmets are uncovered.

The bout is played in two periods of 30 minutes. Point scoring occurs during "jams": plays that last up to two minutes.During a jam, points are scored when a jammer in scoring position laps members of an opposing team. Each team's blockers use body contact, changing positions, and other tactics to assist its jammer to score while hindering the opposing team's jammer. Certain types of blocks and other play are violations; referees call penalties and require violators to spend time in a penalty box.

TEAMS
A large number of contemporary roller derby leagues are amateur, self-organized and all-female and were formed in a DIY spirit by relatively new roller derby enthusiasts. In many leagues a punk aesthetic and/or third-wave feminist ethic is prominent. Members of fledgling leagues often practice and strategize together, regardless of team affiliation, between bouts. Most compete on flat tracks, though several leagues skate on banked tracks, with more in the planning stages.

SCENE
Each league typically features local teams in public bouts; these are popular with a diverse fan base; larger venues hosting audiences ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 are no longer unusual. Many leagues took advantage of the release of the roller derby movie Whip It to increase awareness of the sport.

As the sport has matured, successful local leagues have formed "travel teams" composed of the league's best players to compete with travel teams from other cities and regions. Most players in these leagues skate under pseudonyms, also called "derby names" or "skater names," many of which are creative examples of word play with satirical, mock-violent or sexual puns, alliteration, and allusions to pop culture, some of which are the subject of some controversy.

Bearings are still crucial for a smooth ride. Surf2Go has selected some of the best bearings in stock. Enuff Black, Oust Moc 9 and Black Panthers Swiss bearings. All 3 sets are fast, well tuned, precision bearings with difference price points. The benefit of these selected bearings is that they are all fast, durable and covered with rubber shields, creating a somewhat more watertight bearing. The shields can easily be removed for any maintenance.

Most riders settle for a high ABEC bearing number, but the quality of bearings isn't in the ABEC number. ABEC is the amount of tolerance allowed between the shell and the balls. Within ABEC quality of the materials are not incorporated. So an ABEC 3 Bearing, created with durable steel, could be lots better than an ABEC 7 bearing created with less quality steel. The selected bearings, The Enuff Black, Oust Moc 9 and Black Panthers swiss, are all created with high quality steel, have hardly any tolerance and will give the rider worth their money. Making sure that you can ride faster, smoother and for a longer period of time.

Surf2Go offers a wide selection of bushings, we sell them per piece, per set or in a kit. The benefit of a kit is that riders can experiment, getting themselves the right bushings, for the style and discipline they ride. There are many riders at the moment that are fine-tuning their boards to their specific needs, as a shop it's a great service if you could offer them a bushing kit that would suit their needs. Khiro has some awesome bushing kits.

You can never have enough of these tools in your shop! Especially with the Christmas days coming these tools are great small gifts for any boarder. It has all the tools a rider need to finetune his board. One of the easiest ways to boost your sales.

Tool features: 3/8" socket for hardware, 1/2" socket for axle, 9/16" socket for kingpin, Removable Allen, & Phillips head wrench.
