POWELL-PERALTA powell-peralta.com
I been riding PP boards for the past 9 years.  They are one of the only in house manufactuers of US hard wood maple constructed boards left.  We’ve introduced ligament technology into the construction and that has literally made the boards unbreakable. Definitely a load off the mind when I’m jumping down a big gap. The last thing you want to worry about is your board shattering upon impact.

BONES WHEELS boneswheels.com
I’ve also been repping bones since 2000. They offer a variety of shapes (wide, narrow), sizes and hardness (80 – 101 durometer). The formula is unmatchable. Its so good that they are the only skateboard wheel that can claim “100% less flat spots”. Everyone I’ve given a set to has turned into an instant believer. These are the real deal.

BONES SWISS BEARINGS bonesbearings.com
They are the only bearing created specifically for skateboarding. All other bearings have an ABEC rating which is meaningless for skateboarding as it was created for bearings in machines and do not incorporate the abuse of impact and turning. Swiss have always been the best and will continue to be the best for a long time!

THEEVE TRUCKS theevetrucks.com
Finding a niche in the truck industry is nearly impossible, but with superior enginuity (stronger titantium contruction) Theeve Trucks has broke out as the newest and fastest growing truck on the market. By offering Titantium axles, kingpins, hangers and base plates you can pretty much mix match the parts to make the lightest or heaviest truck you like. Also, by using Bones bushings they give you the best feeling and turning possible. Thanks for bringing me onboard, mate.

QUIKSILVER quiksilver.com
One of the biggest clothing manufactuers in the game and yet they still have the skateboarders runnin it. I’m on the Canadian side of the coin, but being in the states has allowed me to keep in the loop with whats really good at the HQ. The skaters are sick and the boss is too. Its all about style and function. The new skate line is low-key and buttery. No gimmicks over here, just well made functional skate clothes.

ACTIVE RIDESHOP activerideshop.com
After surviving a mjor rough patch active is bouncing back harder than ever. With a new Team Manager and new line up of skaters, the new program is set up for the long term. Eveyrone is chillin yet extremely hardworkers. Its easy to get shit done under these conditions with these kind of people. stoked.

NEFF HEADWEAR neffheadwear.com
Recently written up in FORBES fortune magazine, Neff has literally blown up since its initial market entry 6 years ago. The crew is tightly knitted, just like their beanies. Open access to all the employees and the owner has made working with NEFF extremely insightful for me. Definitely hyped to be on the squad!
