Toes On The Nose 72Mm White Longboard Wheels (Set Of 4) Review

I love these wheels. They don't slide, and they haven't given me any problems.
The only problem is that they're not very fast, due to being a bit stiff and a bit small.
They also get dirty (as expected).
Otherwise, they're awesome.

Atom Lowrider Longboard Review

The two previous reviewers may have had good intentions, but misleading information.
Reviewer 1) The problem is one of two things - only one worthy of any criticism at all:
a) Skateboards need to be adjusted. The kingpin nut is adjusted to allow the trucks to turn more/less easily, to taste, and to suit the rider's weight. Your "son" might be a little guy, not weighing much, and might require more than just an adjustment - that's no fault of the manufacturer. If he is:
b) The bushings in cheap trucks are often cheap, and more often than not, firm. Compounding that, this board puts the trucks on angles, meaning they will turn tighter when they turn - but it's simple physics that with the kingpins on angles, it takes more effort to turn. That's the trade off, always, with this design. Lighter riders also weigh less, so can provide less force to turn the board. All this adds up to one thing: You probably just need to invest in good, soft bushings for the trucks. They are about $5/set. Look for Khiro soft or med-soft bushings. It'll make those trucks work with that board's mounting angles and a lighter guys' weight.
Reviewer 2) It's not a drop through, it's a drop deck. It's hardly misleading wording on part of this seller. It's obviously not a drop-through to anyone who is shopping for a drop-through board. But it absolutely is a drop deck board - the deck surface is lower than perhaps even a drop-through, and the trucks are on angles on top of that, to facilitate the drop design. This is a common longboard design. A bit unfair to give a 1 star rating for a slight misnomer, given this absolutely is a drop deck, and it sounds like you don't even own it.

New Pin-Tail deck design!The ultimate low carver.Riding this board is like riding a magic carpet. The Lowrider's super low profile geometry allows for incredibly easy pushing and superb carving.If you've considered buying a drop-through longboard this could be the board for you.

Diamondback Drifter Men's Beach Cruiser Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) Review

I live on the North Side of Chicago, about a mile away from Wrigley Field and about a mile and a half from Lake Michigan. I was looking for a bike to get around, and I decided I was going to get a cruiser style.
I saw alot of cruisers online, but quality cruiser bikes were rather expensive. So, when I found a DiamondBack for under $300, I thought, "there must be something "cheap" about it.
While it does have a one - piece crank, foot brake and no gears, this is the best bike your money can buy for under $300.
First of all, I was born in '78. This bike has logos that read '78 on the chainguard and the wheel guards (not pictured, but it ships with them and they look slick). Matte Black is my favorite color also, so I was immediattely drawn to this bike. Amazon free shipping is available and with that, I was sold.
When the bike arrived, it was pretty much assembled. The only parts I had to put on were the handlebars, the front tire, the seat and the pedals (which was the only hassle, YOU MUST PUT THE PEDALS ON CORRECTLY OR YOU WILL RUIN THE CRANK).
After about a half hour of assembly, I took this bike outside and rode around the city, up by Wrigley Field and then through Lakeview. It rides like a dream and it's like sitting on a cloud. The seat is GREAT. Every bump on our poorly maintained city streets is answered with the suspension of this bikes seat.
The bike looks pretty good too. The whitewalls really stand out (I dread having to clean them every week though). The Matte Black paintjob is very classy.
If you're going to buy this, I recommend buying the Greenfield KS2SB Kickstand With Retro Kit Black
it matches perfectly and since the bike does not have a kickstand, this thing seems like it was made for this bike. It's easy to attach and it works great.
Every day I after I get off work from the Fire Station, I can't wait to hop on this thing and explore the parts of the city I have not seen, and going down to the Lakefront is on top of my list for tommorrow. This bike turns heads also, so invest in a good lock too.
This bike was made for me, in fact, I've got it inside my apt. and I can't stop looking away from the computer screen while typing this to look over at it. If it sounds like something you might like, you will......... Buy it.

Super simple and simply bitching. This Hi-Ten Remington Steel frame and fork offer up an amazingly comfortable ride with a look that boasts of simplicity. This single speed cruiser screams attitude while allowing the coolest to cruise in style.
