While Turi Zoltan works on his new graphic, Cirus have kept his shape going by giving us a Cirus team logo version - the "Freestyle Z".

This is exactly the same shape and specs as Turi's previous deck, so if you're looking at doing big beastly stationary freestyle combos, this is probably the deck for you.

Specifications:

Length: 28.5"
Width: 7.4"
Wheelbase: 12.75"
Nose: 5.5"
Tail: 6.125"
Kicktail angle: 18º

We recommend a Seismic nose skid for the nose and a big ol' Seismic tail skid for the tail of this board.

Paris are largely known for their longboard trucks, but their "street" trucks are truly top-notch. Combining solid construction with a top-quality finish, these are definitely premium trucks.

These 108mm trucks are perfect for freestyle use; coming in taller than most trucks and with a big square space on the baseplate, it's almost like they were made with stationary freestyle combos in mind.

Throw them on any freestyle deck between 7.25" and 7.4" wide and you're bound to have a great time. We recommend coupling these with a deck such as the Moonshine Kill Your Idols and the freestyle wheels of your choice.

This is an optional upgrade; choose this for a stiffer and more stable setup. We recommend it for adult skaters, but smaller or younger freestylers might not need it.

Synopsis are a bearing brand from Los Angeles that have been making a bit of a buzz on the internet for a while, and we're proud to be the first to stock them in the UK.

These are their new "Stingrays" bearings - effectively the budget option of the Synopsis line but without compromising on bearing quality.

While other Synopsis bearings come with accessories like speed washers, spacers and bearing lubricant, this pack contains nothing more than high quality bearings and replacement axle nuts1, allowing you to get back up to speed without the additional cost of accessories you may not need.

1: We highly recommend you use an axle rethreader to clean up your axle ends before replacing damaged axle nuts; a heavily damaged axle is just going to strip and ruin the new nuts.

After the success of their first skid plates, Seismic decided to make some new shapes out of the same high-grade proprietary compound. Like the original skids, these last longer and are slightly grippier than regular skid plate material - only now you can use them on directional and single kick boards.

They also keep Seismic's curve along the bottom edge of the skid, giving you something a little extra to lock onto for caspers, a better point to grab for airwalks and fingerflips, and reducing the overall weight by 5g compared to other skids of a similar shape and size. Each one comes with the necessary hardware to mount it to a deck, but you will need a drill to put them on.

This is a much longer, squarer shape, and works well on the tail of the Turi Zoltan deck from Cirus, the Denham Hill and Kill Your Idols boards from Moonshine, the Deco and Mike Rogers decks from Mode Skateboards, and the tail of most typical 1980s reissues like the Mullen Chessboard. All of those decks will need a different skid for the other end of the deck, however.

This particular shape works well on the nose of the Turi Zoltan deck from Cirus, the Denham Hill, Nick Beaulieu, and Kill Your Idols boards from Moonshine, the Deco and Mike Rogers decks from Mode Skateboards, and the nose of most typical 1980s reissues like the Mullen Chessboard. All of those decks will need a different skid for the other end of the deck, however.

It's also useable on both ends of the Toshiaki Fujii deck from Moonshine, so make sure you pick up two of these if you're planning on using this skid for that deck.

We’ve had a few calls for longer bolts lately, so we got these 1.25″ Khiro bolts for tall setups. (We can actually still get Khiro bolts up to 3″ long, so if you’re building yourself a monster truck, get in touch and we’ll help you sort it out.)

These 1.25″ bolts will let you use 9.5mm or 3/8″ risers on most setups or 6mm or 1/4″ risers with a regular 7-ply deck and Paris 108 trucks.

If you’re sick of cracking decks, constantly find your trucks shifting about on the deck, or all your local streets are a little too rough to push on without rattling your fillings loose, you might want some shock pads.

Once upon a time, it was pretty common for skate stores in the UK to stock rubber risers of one form or another. However, they seem to have fallen out of favour for some reason – possibly because most of them were bloody terrible (they’d mush out the sides of the baseplate, or were so soft they made your setup feel like an unresponsive marshmallow).

Luckily, we’ve fallen onto a cache of Khiro’s shock pads. These things are considerably better made than most cheap shock pads, and may well be the solution to all of life’s problems – as long as life’s problems are limited to vibration and impact damage.

Also, yes – these come as a pair. One pack will be enough for one complete skateboard. You can also pair them with other risers if you fancy building a monster truck but still want to dampen some vibration in there.
