This Powell deck has a nice ride. It’s a little smaller than I’m used to riding, but it spins and flips well. It’s lasted over 3 months. That’s included a session at 3rd Lair, plain street skating, and flatground flip tricks sessions. It’s tail is turning into a razor from so much use. Overall, I would recommend the Pat Channita deck to anyone looking for one. Powell Bombers Wheels 60MM - These Bombers wheels from Powell are an excellent overall wheel. They are grippy and soft for bowl and park riding. And they work great on asphalt. Bones Swiss Bearings - There is a reason why these are the best bearings in the world. For those who don’t know, the ABEC rating doesn’t really apply to skateboarding. ABEC is an acronym for Annual Bearing Engineers Committee. The duty of the ABEC committee is to establish tolerances and specifications for the size and geometric accu- racy of all bearings. Companies send their bearings to the committee to be rated. Bearings are rated from 1 to 9, using odd numbers. The higher the number the tighter the tolerance and greater precision. “Significantly, the ABEC committee doesn't test for axial—or side loads. Skateboarding exerts tremen- dous axial loads on bearings when skaters slide sideways or boards land on their rails, flexing the wheels over the bearings. Bearing components can deform or be damaged by heavy or repeated axial loads, particularly if they are manufactured to a high tolerance. In the early 1980s, George Powell realized that skateboarding did traditionally unconventional things to bearings. Powell, who has a background in engineering, began to experiment with various bearing designs for skateboarding. The Powell Swiss bearings were the first bearings designed specifically for skateboards. Powell recognized that bearings used in skateboarding should be designed with axial loads in mind, and that unlike bearings made for electric motors, skateboard bearings don't have to spin quite as fast. Machine bearings are typically packed with thick grease, which ensures a long life but is sluggish at low temperatures. For his skateboard bearing, Powell began using a lighter lubricant that was less resistant and retained far less dirt than heavier greases, and synthetic ball retainers instead of metal retainers that are more easily damaged from axial loads.” So, that’s why the Bones Swiss are the best bearings. To further prove my point, ask any pro that has ridden them or skate some for your self.

Lots of padding around the ankle/heel area and a nice thick padded tongue. It has a nice suede and leather combo with cool checkerbox stitching on the sides. The Bastien also comes in some nice colorways, grey/white/gold, black/white, two tone brown, and all black. Etnies Lo Cut 3 The Lo Cut 3 from Etnies looks more like a shoe to chill in than to skate in. Minimal padding around the heel/ankle area and a thin padded tongue. The Lo Cut is also an all leather shoe with the Etnies Level 2 Foam sole. From a skateboarding aspect, they might be ok if you like having a lightweight shoe, but they might not hold up as well. From a chill aspect, you could rock these to the club in a variety of outfits, or to the corner store for some milk and eggs. Check page 3 for a chance to win these Etnies Lo Cuts!!!

    Ramón Rodríguez (The New Raemon / Madee) Escoger un álbum para contar una historia es tan sacrificado como creer en el amor perdurable. Tan solo una portada ilustra este relato, pero sería injusto no reconocer que en realidad he pensado en dos referencias para escribirlo. No me siento del todo culpable, ya que Archers of Loaf vs The Greatest of All Time es un EP. Sunny Day Real Estate, Sunny Day Real Estate (Sub Pop, 1995) Un día soleado Jamás he tenido intención de contratar los servicios de una vidente, pero si en 1992 una bruja llega a decirme que en diez años estaría comiendo un croissant en el cuartel general de Sub Pop, uno de mis sellos preferidos, no habría creído una sola palabra. Eso mismo pensé mientras desayunaba con Shawn Rogers en las oficinas de Sub Pop, en Seattle. Shawn era el mánager de Crooked Fingers, el proyecto en solitario de Eric Bachmann tras la disolución Archers of Loaf, y Archers of Loaf —eran y siguen siendo— mi grupo de rock predilecto de los noventa. Shawn dejó en la mesa su taza de café. Mientras yo trataba de masticar aquel croissant que acababa de ofrecerme, lanzó una pregunta que tardé bastante en contestar. —¿Te apetece cenar con Eric y conmigo mañana? El Eric de la pregunta no era otro que Eric Bachmann, y la propuesta de Shawn era un bonito gesto a modo de mano tendida. 72 Ramón Rodríguez Crucé por primera vez el charco en 2002 con la intención de conseguir licencias para Cydonia, el sello discográfico que fundé en 2001 para publicar los discos de Madee y otros artistas nacionales e internacionales.

  • Jude the Obscure Official Biography
    Jude the Obscure Official Biography Jude the Obscure, circa 2003 Jude the Obscure had a very comfortable place in the Ontario math-core/noisecore scene throughout its existence. I believe they were the first to be called “chaoticore”. Prior to the forming of this band, Grant Freifeld (“Fuzz” on bass), Jason Rice (“Jaundice” on drums) and Chuck Leach (“the Bank”/”Bankenstein” on guitar) played together in a slew of Grimsby, Ontario high school bands, often changing name every few months. When in 1998 they decided to go “heavier”, they asked a guy in their high school who was wearing a Snapcase shirt if he wanted to to be their signer; that was James Long (“Jimbo”). With Jimbo in, Jude the Obscure was born. The final addition was one of Jason’s coworker, Jordan Passfield who was brought in as an experimental guitar player. “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 Their first show was a house show with Rise Over Run. In 1999 they recorded 3 songs at Scott Bialik’s small basement studio, soundDOME Studio, in Hamilton, live right off the floor. Jude self-released it as their first demo “A New Life of Painful Sin”. Everyone who ever talks about this demo doesn’t speak of it nicely. Nevertheless it is a good representation of what early 2000 metalcore was like. Poster advertising “A Perfect Place” on Punx Without Mohawx Records Their high school friends, Rise Over Run, had gotten signed to the Quebec label Punx Without Mohawx Records, so Jude sent them their demo as well.
