Generally, we're not big fans of reissues here at Offset. That's for two major reasons:

<!--
1. A lot of 1980s shapes don't hold up well in the modern age
   (*cough*Chessboard*cough*)
2. The quality of them is generally lacking and doesn't justify the price
   (*cough*Any Powell deck*cough*)

-->

However, the guys over at Brand-X/Toxic have REALLY smashed it out the park with this reissue of the Denny Riordon deck. Not only is it still a great shape and very skateable (no retro curved rails here!), but the quality and attention to detail is second-to-none - including proper hand-screened graphics done directly to the wood.

In short, whether you're looking for the perfect 80s style setup that you can still skate today or just one of the finest wall-hangars known to man, this Toxic Denny Riordon won't disappoint.

Specifications:

Length: 27.75"
Width: 7.3"
Wheelbase: 13"
Nose: 5"
Tail: 5.5"
Kicktail angle: 11º

You're going to want a Seismic nose skid and a Seismic tail skid for maximum protection on this board.

We're constantly on the hunt for more slalom and freestyle trucks, and these Sure-Grip Invaders fit the bill perfectly. They're very, very old-school in design; they look like the original Tracker Fultracks in more ways than one. With the "swept" pivot, solid bushing seat, and a less-turny-than-average 10º kingpin angle, these would be perfect as a back truck in a slalom rig or as a locked-tight freestyle truck for a stationary-orientated setup.

With a 6.97" axle, these will work on any freestyle deck between 7.25" and 7.5" wide. We recommend coupling these with a single kick deck such as the Moonshine Kill Your Idols and the freestyle wheels of your choice for a wonderfully retro rig.

Khiro's bushings are world-renowned for their high quality and wide range of options. This is their "tall cone" combo setup - a similar design to a traditional barrel-and-cone bushing combo, such as Khiro's own standard barrel bushings, only much taller. More urethane means more resistance and more rebound, so generally, you get better performance out of these taller bushing setups than you do with much smaller bushing combinations.

Bear in mind that not many trucks have a long enough kingpin to use these bushings; please check the measurement guide below before purchasing, as we can only guarantee they'll fit in Sure-Grip Invader 700s and Tracker Racetracks. If in doubt, go with the standard barrel bushings or KBAC-1 bushings instead.

Also, note that Khiro's bushings come in single-truck packs, which means you'll need two packs to upgrade both trucks.

Currently we only stock these in 98a, but we can obtain other hardnesses. If you would like these in another hardness, please contact us.

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.

These are Khiro‘s standard 1″ Phillips head bolts. No fuss, no muss. If you’re using thin risers, a thicker deck than usual or trucks with a thicker baseplate, this is the length you want.

However, if you’re combining any of those two things, definitely jump up a size; 1″ won’t cut it.

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.

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.
