Skyler stands ready to join the ranks of his skate heroes as he rides the World Cup. Preferring bowl riding to street skating, Skyler spends at least two hours a day after school on his board, but he loves it too much to call it practice. Skyler recently won the Tiger Woods Start Something Great award for teaching skaters and has starred in the “Kids Who Rip” video. One of Skyler’s best qualities is how caring he is of other kids. He will help others learn a trick when he should be practicing himself. He even gave his prize board to a younger competitor at a competition because his board was too big for him. Skyler wants kids to have as much fun as he does.
Skyler plans on going to college so he can start his own business. Keep an eye on him as he adds more tricks to his growing repertoire.

The latest development to further the evolution of skating, Wheelbone is a brand-new scientifically designed training device that can help all skateboarders – from beginners to pros – develop and improve their technical skill. Wheelbone makes mastering ollies, flips, slides and grinds faster than ever before.
$22.95
Watch the instructional video below to get a feel for how it works!
How it works
Unlike other skateboard training aides, Wheelbone stretches quickly and simply (with no tools needed) over the wheels of a conventional skateboard, providing a robust, non-slip grip that stops the wheels from rolling. The Wheelbone is made from ultra-strong yet lightweight polyurethane, and weighs just 7oz. It’s portable and therefore easy to take down the skatepark to practice new tricks mid-session – or even in the comfort of your own living room!

The torsion truck has evolved from 11 working parts to 3 with the Revenge Truck, proving that less is definitely more. These trucks have a very elegant and simplistic design.
The Revenge Alpha II is a single pivot 45° torsion truck made of 80C12 recycle-based aluminum. They are designed for carving, sidewalk surfing and for the pure thrill of turning. They are not intended to replace your conventional trucks for the skatepark. Revenge trucks are too performance oriented for traditional transition-based skateboarding.
The patented external locking mechanism allows for the tightest turns with no need for riser pads even with wheels up to 73mm, resulting in a full circle on a 47″ board in less than 8 feet, all with no wheel bite! Turning has never been easier.
They are mountable with standard hardware along with two options for hole patterns, old school and new school.
The bushing is made from the highest quality 97 durometer high impact polyurethane made in the USA.
