| 10/29/2009 12:29:25 AM |
 Winter is here in Arizona – FINALLY! That means that many awesome camping trips are planned for me, my family and my best friends, as we take advantage of the really great cooler weather that sets in around Halloween every year in AZ. I have been shopping around online for some new hiking gear as of late, to upgrade my aging collection. Namely, I need some new hiking gear boots,... Read More

Skateboard Equipment to Save the Knees |
| 10/27/2009 12:30:59 AM |
 One piece of skateboard equipment I wish I would have used more as a teen were knee pads. Being a taller guy, the knees are the first thing to go. Luckily I have been pretty fortunate to not have any real problems with them but there are those days especially when it is cold outside, just underneath my knee caps it gets sore.. I don’t think it is completely because of the... Read More |

It’s easy to follow the rules with your skateboard equipment |
| 10/26/2009 1:32:22 AM |
 Back when I first started using my skateboard equipment all of the time and riding around all over town, and having a blast, we didn’t know that many places didn’t approve of your using your skateboard equipment on their property. There are even some places that will posts signs that warn you not to use your skateboard equipment on their premises. After realizing that by... Read More

Why Can’t I Do that on a Skateboard Deck? |
| 10/23/2009 12:55:28 PM |
 Skateboarding has been a part of my life ever since 8th grade. From then until 11th grade I was a skater in every sense of the word. My hair was long, I spent my days outside of school skating local hotspots around our little city and the weekends hoping on the bus with a few friends to head down to a big skate park a couple cities over. In school, my mind wandered out the... Read More |

There are some really great places to ride your skateboard deck at legally in AZ |
| 10/23/2009 12:07:05 AM |
 If you love to ride your skateboard deck as often as I do, then let me tell you that you can do so and enjoy yourself, and you don’t have to worry about breaking the law and getting a civil citation. That’s right; believe it or not, riding your skateboard deck at most public places is banned because they don’t want to have the higher liability insurance rates in the event... Read More

Dude: complete skateboard decks are really affordable online! |
| 10/20/2009 3:50:21 AM |
 I am so glad that I am now riding on skateboard decks several days per week again, because I have really been able to get myself back in shape faster than I ever had thought possible. I have now been actively involved in this sport for years, ever since I got out of high school and my friends and I all went off to college. But now I find myself getting really back into it...

Looking at Skateboard Decks for My Son |
| 10/17/2009 10:09:10 AM |
 Christmas is coming up quickly, and I'm searching for gifts. I have a son who is very into skateboarding, so I'm looking for new skateboard decks for him this year. Skateboard equipment is another option as well. I like to check out sportsmans warehouses online for skateboarding items. He's not really into skulls and bones, so it can be challenging to find cool looking... Read More

Christmas Shopping for Hubby at Sportsmans Warehouse |
| 10/14/2009 10:18:04 AM |
I enjoy Christmas shopping for my husband. He is so easy to shop for. I simply find an online sportsmans warehouse, and I'm all set! I only have to go to one place, and I can find everything that he could possibly want.
My hubby is an outdoors man. He loves hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and target shooting. Since sportsmans warehouses sell items that support all of... Read More |

Wet Roads Can Be Fun on a Skateboard Deck |
| 10/11/2009 12:23:15 PM |
 I have started to think about rain again as the upcoming week is supposed to be a wet one over here. While there is nothing fun about taking a skateboard deck out in a rain storm it can be fun to go out after the showers stop and the roads are left slippery. I have been caught in enough rain storms in the Pacific Northwest to know it is no place for a skateboard deck. The... Read More |

A Beachside Mecca for the Skateboard Deck |
| 10/8/2009 5:42:29 PM |
 Months back, I read an article talking about all the work going into the creation of a new Oceanside skatepark in Venice, California. For all you skateboard deck history buffs out there, Venice was once known as Dogtown and was the home of much of the skating progress we see today. Venice was built off a skate culture and for awhile had a park to please those skaters of... Read More |

Hiking Gear Essentials |
| 10/8/2009 3:05:05 PM |
As the weather gets cooler it's time to pull out the hiking gear essentials. Just what hiking gear is needed to make it through a basic hike? First and foremost are the hiking boots. A bad fit can make for an awfully painful hiking experience. It is important to have wiggle space in your boot. The toes need to move. Second to a properly fitting boot is the socks. A good...

Taking a Skateboard Deck to the Limit |
| 9/29/2009 1:46:41 PM |
 It was almost a rite of passage as a skater to snap your first skateboard deck in half. I can still vividly remember when it happened to me. Me along with a couple buddies were skating a local ledge near a Taco Bell. Starting from the upper part of the street, we were attempting to skate towards the curb, olly over the hedge of bushes and drop onto the lower parking lot.... Read More |

 Skateboard Equipment
My son started getting into skateboarding when he was very young and has kept it up ever since then. When he’s not working or at school, you can be certain to find him at the skate park. The first time I went to his new apartment I was shocked at the amount of skateboard equipment he had acquired over the years. His father and I bought him his first... Read More |

 It blows me away how fast the summer months whizzed by into September, which didn’t even seem like a full month. With today and tomorrow the last days of September, I am excited to start cleaning off my hiking gear to see what stays and what needs to be replaced with an online purchase. This is the time of the year when the weather starts cooling down making the trailhead... Read More |

Nothing Better then Grinding on Skateboard Equipment |
| 9/29/2009 1:25:35 PM |
 One of the best presents my brother and I ever got growing up was a customizable piece of skateboard equipment that had us spending hours after school and over the weekends boardsliding and 50/50 grinding. When we saw that 10 foot long, adjustable height grind rail online, it was an instant addition to our Christmas list. With old school videos like the one of pro street... Read More |

Stress- free sportsmans warehouse |

My family is already making their Christmas list. I guess it is a good thing, that way I look for the great deals before the big rush and I am less stressed out. A lot of items on their lists are sports and exercise related. I already know I will go online to a sportsmans warehouse and find all that they wish for. The sportsman warehouse sites make life so easy. Everything... Read More |

Winning the complete skateboard |
| 9/26/2009 8:51:39 AM |
The other day when I was going to work-out at my local community center, there was a skateboarding demo and contest going on. The skate park is right next to the center. I stood there and watched for awhile. The guys and some girls were watching the pros and all their moves. The sponsors were giving away skateboard equipment and complete skateboards away as prizes. When it... Read More |

Saving Myself From Road Rash With Protective Skateboard Equipment |
| 9/24/2009 8:37:57 PM |
 There is one thing that I have learned about riding a skateboard deck for more than ten years – with a nice hiatus in between high school and today – and that is to always wear the proper protective skateboard equipment. The lesson was served well to me last weekend when I was riding my skateboard deck around with my best friends and I fell while trying to perform a trick.... Read More

Skateboard Equipment is a Very Personal Choice |
| 9/11/2009 3:20:16 PM |
 There are hundreds maybe even thousands of skateboard deck designs available online and this is only counting the signature models. There are all sorts of custom graphics out there. The same is true for graphics on skateboard wheels. There are fewer truck design choices but there is still variety. Many of the pro line model products are similar in feel. Yes, some have more...

Complete Skateboard Trivia for Prizes Success |
| 9/11/2009 2:09:13 PM |
 My friend and I love trivia games. I think most people do. Growing up, my family would always spend a night each week competing for the most right answer’s while watching a trivia show on TV. It is great fun, plus you never know what tidbit you may pick up or know. It is really amazing when you have the answer to some obscure question with no real idea where it came from.... Read More |
