ALLIGATOR WHEELS™ were created in 1977 by Mr.
Bennett and were the most anticipated new product
release in the history of skateboarding. Featuring
“Hot Pot™” urethane, Mr. Bennett’s original emerald
green Alligators™ utilized a specially compounded,
high tensile, total memory formula and radiused
outer edges for increased speed and grip in tight,
hard turns. Alligator Wheels™ Supergator™ model
featured Mr. Bennett’s exclusive TaperTread™ design
and “Variable Footprint” contact area for lightening
speed and glue like grip. Today’s Alligator Wheels™
have all this and more! Never saw them in the day?
You can ride them today. Available Spring ‘06

For seven years, Venice-based ARBOR has produced
one of the most stylish skateboard lines on the
market. Arbor’s mojo is driven by a unique design
80
CONCRETE WAVE BUYER’S GUIDE 2006
philosophy that is based on the knowledge that
performance, durability, and style can be improved
using certain environmentally friendly, natural
materials. The 06’ skate line is built with a variety of
deck finishes, including Bamboo, book-matched Koa,
and stringer-style wood patterns. Koa wood was used
by the Hawaiians 1,000 years ago to build the first
surfboards. Bamboo is an incredibly green,
renewable material that has a higher tensile strength
than steel, yet is light, flexible, and resists
compression. All Arbor skateboards are made in
Southern California and include a durable, longlasting clear re-grip. arborsports.com (310) 577-1120
ASHLAND SKATEBOARDS, LLC was started in 2002
based on the idea of wanting to create the perfect
cruising Longboard. The perfect board would have a
classic design, modeled after the balsa boards from
the 50s and 60s, really good flex and excellent
carving trucks with smooth, fast wheels. Ashland has
captured the feeling in its Longboard series. All decks
are made locally in Southern California using only the
highest quality materials and include topside
graphics with an extermely durable, transparent rollon grip. Completes include Randal RII 180 Trucks
and Kryptonic 70 mm Classic K wheels, shipped fully
assembled
and
ready
to
ride.

ASPHALTPLAYGROUND set out last season to
resurrect the TTC Truck design with enhancements
such as 4140 8mm axles, spherical steel pivots, and
weight reducing hanger cavities. The new design,
called the Split-Fire, was so effective that Gary Fluitt
won the World Championships Slalom on production
trucks. Following up on the success of the rear 107,
Fluitt teamed with Jim Weatherwax to adapt the
design for a faster turning front truck. The new SplitFire DS works with a Randall II base and comes in
90mm and 107mm widths. The trucks sell for $99
and are available from asphaltplayground.com
BAHNE SKATEBOARDS you know the name.
Innovators from the beginning from our original
fiberglass boards to the honeycomb slalom deck.

providing quality skateboards endures. Innovation,

BENNETT TRUKS™ made skateboard history in
1975 with the introduction of the first trucks built
specifically for skateboarding. With their “Big Red
Rubbers”, Bennett Truks™ were enormously
popular for their quick turning geometry and
precision construction. The 1978 Bennett Pro™,
featuring an aluminum base plate, is still widely
considered the most responsive skateboard truck
ever made. Due to limited production, very few
Vector Stak+Traks™ ever made it into circulation.
Today’s Bennett Pro™ and Vector Stak+Trak™
models are authentic limited edition reissues of
these iconic truks™. You wanted them in the day —
you can ride them today. Available spring ‘06

every bearing. Your locknuts can be tightened snugly
without pinching or binding the bearings. They align
themselves perfectly on the axle and in the wheel. As
a result, your wheels spin faster and longer and with

helps to share the sideloads more evenly for longer
wheel and bearing life. Biltins make wheel swapping
a breeze and are easier to clean. Biltin.com

CONSPIRACY SKATEBOARDS was born in Texas in
1993. Dallas skate shop owner and former Zorlac
employee, Dana Buck, along with longtime friend
and Austin graphic artist, Lindsey Kuhn, wanted to
start a company that made boards bigger than 8”.
Conspiracy has grown significantly since then with
the move to Denver, with crew members, like Bryan
Pennington, Glen Charnoski, Tim Johnson, Brian
Fick, and Abe Towery all over the United States, and
with supporters all over the globe. Conspiracy has
built a solid reputation by producing quality decks
and killer wheels, all with amazing graphics by
Pushead and Lindsey. Conspiracyboards.com
CR LONGBOARDS is proud to present the Rhino
Chaser “speed gun”, the board which effectively
blends soul skating with an all out hill-bombing
mentality. The name “Rhino Chaser” is actually a
term designated for large surfboard guns built for
riding massive waves - an activity which takes a
soulful attitude and places it in the face of pure
adrenaline and bravado. At 60”, the board is an
entirely different ride. While offering a comfortable
flex, and enough leverage to perform a quick in-town
turn, its wheelbase is long enough to accommodate a
seamless, stable ride at high speeds. The Rhino
Chaser will take you to a new level of performance,
while still maintaining the true soul and uniqueness
that is longboarding.

Skaters who bust big moves need a truck they can
rely on. For Tony Hawk, Tom Penny and Arto Saari,
there is no other choice than the FURY EVO. Not only

the best performing truck on the market. This is no
news to these guys. They know they can count on
Fury Trucks to carry them through, no matter what
the situation. Like all Evos, Fury Signature trucks
feature the optimum gravity cast baseplate design,
with all excess weight eliminated.

everything from massive half pipes and street ramp
courses. In 2004, 20 years later, GODSPEED
LONGBOARDS came to life! Here is a company
that’s all about high performance, advanced design
and assured quality in every ride. There’s the
Godspeed developed “Top Truck Mount Carbon Fiber

None of the roots of Texas skating run deeper than
ZORLAC and GRINGO SKATEBOARDS. Originally
established in 1976 by Jeff Newton, Zorlac remains
the most successful Texas skate brand ever because
of Jeff’s love for the sport and his tireless efforts to
bring attention to the oft ignored talent that has
always percolated all over the Lone Star state. From
the unforgettable Shut Up And Skate Contests to the
infamous (and often bootlegged) “FU” T-Shirts,
“Newtron” and Zorlac have been the heart of Texas
skateboarding. The Zorlac line includes the Big Boys,
Craig Johnson, two John Gibson models, a classic
Zorlac Logo modern board, and a newly updated
Double Cut with the classic graphic. Gringo
Skateboards was established in 2002. The 2006 line
will continue to feature modern shapes for modern
riders keeping the tradition of Texas Pride alive in a
whole new generation of skaters. Zorlac and Gringo

Northwest, POOLSIDE

function. Poolside has brought together a
progressive concave and double kick with
comfortable wheelbases affording the rider the
maximum level of enjoyment. Each Poolside
shape has it’s own unique personality and
features. At Poolside, we felt it was time to bring
back a little side cut and flare. Besides, it is
nice to know which board is yours without
having to flip it over and check the graphics.

My name is Shaun O’Brian from Norman,
Oklahoma. After 30 plus years of skating and 20
years as a professional woodworker, I decided to
combine my passion for the two disciplines into
PRESSURE DROP LONGBOARDS. All of our
skateboards are hand shaped by a skater for
skaters. All skateboards are one of a kind
hardwood creations. They are not machine
stamped boards nor are they plywood boards with
stripes painted or stained on them. All longboards
come with at least two contrasting hardwoods.
Although we obviously reproduce our shapes, each
deck is unique by virtue of the combination of
woods used. There are currently two shapes
available; Classic Cutaway and Phat Nose Pintail.

It was Southern California in the early 70’s, and Chris
Carmichael lived in the heart of the skateboard and
surf scene. Wanting to share his passion for the
sport, Carmichael set out to make the first
skateboard movie, SPINN’IN WHEELS. With money
received from family and friends, Carmichael bought
his first camera and he and his buddies set out in
‘73 on a shoot that would take 2 years. The film
features a number of skate legends including Mike
Weed, Ty Page, Bruce Logan, and Russ Howell.
Carmichael is there too. He took a lot of risks in the
shoot, especially when filming the high speed
downhill runs. There’s also some great surf footage
from Gerry Lopez, Shaun Tomson and Rabbit
Bartholomew. Carmichael premiered “Spinn’in
Wheels” in ‘75 and traveled the states promoting the
film for the next 2 years. Carmichael and the film
inspired a generation of teens around the country
that helped spark the popularity of skateboarding in
the 70’s, and beyond. With much respect and love
for the sport and his friends, Carmichael re-releases
Spinn’in Wheels, re-mastered on DVD, to inspire
today’s youth and to show the roots of skateboarding.

S-ONE wants you know the following. There are 2
types of skateboard helmets, CPSC certified and
NON-CPSC certified. CPSC Certified helmets have
hard eps foam on the inside of the helmet. The
CPSC rating is technically a bike helmet
certification. CPSC certified helmets fits a little high
on the head and if you fall with this type of helmet
on, it hurts. But, according to the government, it
passes the CPSC certification. This is the only type
of helmet you can legally by in California or Oregon.
For the most part any helmet you buy in California
should have a CPSC sticker on the inside of the
helmet. Imagine if football players wore CPSC
certified helmets, they would all be dead. NonCPSC certified helmets do not have hard eps foam
on the inside, so, it does not pass the CPSC
certification. It has soft foam pads on inside. This is
the type of helmet that most pros wear because the
helmets absorb impact and fit really well.
Unfortunately, manufacturers and skateshops are
not allowed to sell Non-CPSC certified skateboard
helmets in California or Oregon. S-One wanted to
break this down for you. S-one.com

kingpin, heat treated chromoly axles, aircraft lock
nuts, four hole base plate and triangular hanger set

VIKING PROTECTIVE GEAR by Rock On
Distribution has an assortment of full color and
graphic helmets and pads for an affordable price.
Along with the one-size-fits-all helmets, Viking also
offers a youth helmet. The Viking Youth Helmet fits a
child between the ages of three and seven years old.
Most helmet companies that carry an extra small
helmet just add extra foam to the inside of a large
shell, giving the kid that “mushroom head” look. The
CPSC-approved Viking Youth Helmet is actually a
smaller shelled helmet making it look better, fit
better and safer for the kids to wear. Contact Rock

Z-CULT started when the Legendary Z-Boys had
disbanded and individual Z-Boys started tagging their
boards with “Z-Cult” to show that they were carrying
on the tradition. Never a rip off, the Z-Cult was always
true to the cause. Z-Cult went underground during the
‘80’s and 90’s. One day Jesse Martinez was looking at
his Z-Cult tattoo and decided to revive the movement.
With the help of Z-Boys Jay Adams, Chris Cahill, Paul
Constantineau, Peggy Oki, Nathan Pratt, Allen Sarlo
and OGDT ripper Pat Ngoho, Z-Cult is back. We are
small, but you know where to find us: 430 Rialto Ave.

riders, Z-Flex became a pioneer within the industry.
Z-Flex first generation riders were known as the

riders were also considered the best of their era. ZFlex’s current fourth generation riders are set to
follow their predecessors’ successes.zflex.com

AUSTIN ZACHREL
AGE 10
WORDS & PHOTO BY BUTCH ZACHREL
Austin Zachrel has been ripping the skate parks all around the
greater Washington DC area for seven years and still going strong!
From Arlington, Virginia to Ocean City, Maryland, Austin has captivated the crowds by his no fear skating style and trade mark front
side airs. Using his creativity, Austin has turned his garage into a
mini-stakepark with ? pipes, vert walls and skating on anything just
lying around. Austin enjoys skating with the “older” skaters, learning new tricks and new styles of skating. You can catch him staking
at his favorite skate park or anything he can jump, grind, or air.
Skating with old pro’s like Curt Kimbel, John Dillon and others;
Austin has learned the true spirit of skateboarding, no fear, big airs,
and skate for the pure enjoyment of skating!

KELEI
BISHOP
AGE 4
WORDS AND PHOTO BY
KURT YAMAMOTO
Kelei Bishop started skating when he was 3 ? years old and has been skating for
a year now. He is a natural talent with doing other athletic activities such as football, baseball and his other love basketball. He has the ability to do many things
most 4 year olds would think are impossible. He likes riding the rails and the halfpipe, making frontside and backside turns, doing tailstalls and halfcabs. Kelei
sometimes falls and his facial expression and body language may appear as if he
is hurt but, many don’t realize that he is more upset for not landing his “trick”
more than anything. He is one of those determined kids that will try a trick over
and over until he gets it! His will and determination will keep him practicing all
night even when the lights go out at the local parks. When asked why he likes to
ride he says, “Because it is fun, I can learn lots of tricks, go lots of places and stay
out late!” His favorite riders are Tony Hawk, Daewon Song, Stevie Williams, Terry
Kennedy, and Nyjah Huston.
People do notice how small he is, and how young but he really is a true skater
at heart. He will show off his latest tricks and people often ask how old he is, and
he will answer, “I’m four years old, ok?” He is often found riding along with the
older kids and learning a great deal from their expertise and energy. That is where
he learned his skills and talents. Big shout-outs to all his homies in Long Beach
and Carson, especially Mike, Manny, Seth, Myna and Merv. Thanks to them, he
wouldn’t be where he is today. Thanks to his sponsors; Termite Skateboards,
Transitions Skate Shop (Carson), and Wakanai. He also wanted to say hi to his
mom, dad and little brother, Buddha.

LEE
YANKOU
AGE 16
WORDS: MICHAEL BROOKE
PHOTO: MATT FIMIO
I first met Lee when he was in his early teens. Even back then, I
could tell his passion for skateboarding ran deep. He’d spend
hours skating street as well as making the 2 hour long transit trek
to Cummer Skatepark in Toronto.
In fact his first skate contest was one that Concrete Wave put
on at Cummer. Fast forward a few years and Lee is really starting
to make some noise in the skateboarding world. He appeared in a
US National TV commercial for Honda and 2006 finishes at Slam
City and the West 49 Canadian Open have him ranked 26th overall in North American Street Skating Contests.
After Lee graduates high school this June, he will be spending
as much time as possible skating the streets in California, BC, Arizona, Florida and anywhere that skating will take him. Lee is sponsored by Duffs Canada, Ultimate Skateboard Distributors flow Lee

ETHAN
WHITE
AGE 16
WORDS & PHOTOS: KENNY MOLLICA
Whether you describe him as “modern-retro” or “vintage new school”, 16year old Ethan White’s spontaneous surf-style skateboarding will definitely catch your eye. He began skateboarding around the age of ten – mostly street skating around the neighborhood.
A very charming and charismatic teenager, Ethan’s interest in skateboarding was radically sparked in the spring of 2006 when he saw the
Dogtown documentary. With complete respect for the old school, Ethan
immersed himself in 70’s skateboard history - memorizing the surf-style
moves and skaters from that era. With such emphasis on style, Ethan
does not know nor care about the names of most maneuvers and, like Jay
Adams, skates completely spontaneously - rarely thinking ahead when
riding pools, parks, ditches, slalom, downhill, or sliding.
Ethan’s first trip to California was in September of 2006 when he placed
third in the Junior Men’s Slalom World Championships in Morrow Bay.
That week, Ethan skated with many 1970’s legends including Steve Olson,
David Hackett, and Cliff Colman. Ethan’s sparkling personality, coupled
with his stylish and spontaneous skating, earned him the status of peer
among his advanced-age idols, as well as a sponsorship with Pocket Pistols Skateboards.
When asked how high he can Ollie, Ethan responds “Its 1975 - that
trick won’t be invented for another three years!”
