the Element tip with a load so hot it
burns. Julien's Evel Knievel slick
is almost identical to the Hall (the
dimensions are the same) but it has
a beefier nose. On to tail tricks,
these decks feel a little dead-you
don't get mega slap, but kind of a
dull thud. But they last and are more
than rideable. In the box were some
wheels called Armadilios from New
Deal. The 47mm by 99 hardness
make them good all around wheels.
I rode them on vert and found them

other 996 Pushead has his own
company called Museum His only
pro rider is Sasha Stienhorst
and his model is quite a bit different
than other shapes associated with
Pus. It is functional. The slick Sash
is 32.0 x 9.0, 6.9 nose, 6.35 tall and
a 13.65 base. It is flat and proud
with a minimal shape. Powell is
back with a bullet. The longest run-
ning pro model in the history of
skateboarding just added another
chapter. Steve Caballero is still
going strong and this edition is his
best yet. His slick V2 Dog is a 32.50
x 8.85, 7.0 nose, 6.25 tail and 13.85
base masterpiece. Look for the new
Eric Ricks in stores now...
Salman Agah's latest gift to skat
ing is the Rocket Queen. The Real
ambidextrous wonderboy has
shaped a deck that is equally func-
tional both ways. The very rounded
tail and nose and
thin shape make
it a must for all
the skaters of
tomorrow. Num-

superstar and teen-age heartthrob
Mike Carroll has two tops that
kick ass. The Nevertrend slick is the
larger of the two at 32.25 x 9.0, 7.0
nose, 6.0 tail and 13.75 base, while
the Bathroom deck has the same
measurements only this slick is
about a quarter of an inch thinner.
The man that changed the way we
street skate, Matt Hensley, is
retiring from pro ranks. The Tribute
deck to the kid from Vista is long
and strong with numbers like this 32
.75 x 8.75, 6.75 nose, 6.25 tail and
14.25 base. Take a look at the
future, folks. Hard as hell and ready
to ride. Hey Mike, what no Way?....
Acme has redone their whole line,
round, light and functional are the
new law. The 33 and 32 inch axes
both feature V-ply vertical laminates
that are flexi yet sturdy. The stains
are killer but the color choices need
some work. The 32 super-ply street
is my pick to click with 32.0 x 8.65,
7.0 nose, 6.0 tail and a 13.65 base.
No names and no games from the
gang at Acme... From the cata-

bid you adieu. Jake Phelps, 1303
