Basalt = Bonite 2025.

I had a couple sets of Formula Fours. I don't care for them because they don't have the little grooves in the wheels. I keep it strictly regular Spitfire urethane.

I don't really try new product innovations. I know what I like and have a stockpile. I swap out a new deck every two to three months. I rode my last board for four months, but that was due to winter. I don't mind when a deck is broken in, but there is a point of no return where it has to be retired.

What ever happened to Powell Dragons?

Globe needs better graphic design in their ads. I spend too much time thinking about this. Like seriously way too much time. The problem with the Nick Cave song is that it sounded like The Flaming Lips. Austyn is still really good at skateboarding. His part did need an Elijah Berle guest trick.

I can't imagine Rassvet sells boards. I think I like their graphics or something.

BMC had Salman Agah, Jason Adams, peak Kris Markovich, etc. Different eras. I don't think people realize how good Tim was back in the 90s. Their gang was more blue collar style than the big city fashion plates.

I'll have to check out the GX videos. I like what they are doing, but get too sketched out watching the videos.
