NEW POCKET PISTOLS DECKS - AUSTRALIA DECEMBER 2015

NEW DECKS FROM POCKET PISTOLS - DECEMBER 2015 DELIVERY

We haven't had a solid drop of POCKET PISTOLS for a while as they can be a little hard to get. In case you don't know, these decks are all pressed in the USA and hand screened the old way, that means a separate process for every colour applied to the deck, making each deck a very bespoke item.






BLAST FROM THE PAST series features a bunch of Rocco era classics, screened the same way as the originals, in the same workshop that produced the originals!

There are a stack more decks on order including more LEE RALPH CAVEMAN 1 & 2, DEAD KENNEDYS, SPIDEY SKATEBUCKS and other highly skateable double kick, directional & collectible decks. Watch this space!

Bern Helmets - HARD FOAM VS SOFT FOAM - DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

HARD FOAM VS SOFT FOAM - DOES IT REALLY MATTER?





I'm often asked by customers & retailers what the differance is between approved and non approved helmet as well as the difference between hard foam & soft foam helmets and whether there is a huge amount of differerance in their construction and the amount of protection they provide.

KINI RED BULL 2015 RANGE NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA






PRESS RELEASE

KINI RED BULL 2015 COLLECTION NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA THROUGH
SHOGAI IMPORTS


August 2015: Shogai Imports is proud to announce they are now the official Australian Distributor of the 2015 KINI RED BULL RANGE. The range comprises of a premium quality & high end line of MX Gear, apparrel and accessories endorsed and produced as a collaboration by Heinz Kinigadner, Red Bull & The Wings For Life Foundation.






THE KINI RED BULL STORY

"I Like the style. The quality is good, you can see that they know what good stuff needs, it‘s good for every condition. I‘m proud to wear it.“

This is a comment from one of our key team riders about the Kini Line.

But what is the Kini Line?



Everything started 1953 with the first motorbike race of Johann Kinigadner. A normal Austrian boy who loved to ride motorcycles.


A little while later, he had three kids who got infected by this virus too and all of them became professional motorcycle racers. A story of success started. While Johann Jr. was one of the best Austrian motocross racers and Klaus one of the best Supermoto riders worldwide, Heinz was probably the most successful one and twice took the title of motocross world champion and as one of the best Rally riders and became a legend in this sport.


The history of the Kini family continued and also Heinz‘s son Hannes became a motocross rider. The Kinis used their experience and started to produce motorbike clothing for themselves and their Kini Team.


The real break for producing the Kini Line for the market was given by a bad punch from destiny. On July 26th, 2003 Hannes had a bad crash in a motocross race and got paralyzed from the neck down.


Heinz tried everything to heal his son and searched with the help of his friend Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of Red Bull, for a cure all over the world. Even if they didn‘t find the right treatment and there was no cure available yet, they found promising projects.


But with the lack of interest from the pharma industry and so with the lack of money, Dietrich and Heinz founded the Wings for Life Foundation, a foundation with the only goal of making spinal cord injuries curable.



http://www.wingsforlife.com/en/about-us/



The KINI Line wants to support this Wings for Life foundation as you also can see the Wings for Life Logo on each product of KINI. The family business has
already many followers, is meanwhile acting worldwide and well known for its good quality and the know-how which stands behind.


The KINI RED BULL 2015 RANGE is now in stock and is available for immediate delivery. If you are interested in stocking this line or seeing a small sample range please contact
C Four International or Shogai Imports.

FOUNDATION SKATEBOARDS - LIMITED EDITION COREY DUFFEL X ROWLAND S HOWARD PRO DECK




FOUNDATION SKATEBOARDS - LIMITED EDITION
COREY DUFFEL X ROWLAND S HOWARD PRO DECK




When I first saw this deck I thought, what was Corey Duffel thinking, well that has to be the most obscure tribute deck ever. I mean really, who the hell knows who
Rowland S Howard is?

If you are a Boys Next Door or Birthday Party fan you might. If you are Nick Cave you certainly would, I mean after all Rowland was the guy that made Nick sound great and maybe it was what made people take notice. If you are a musician I'm sure you would, as Rowland is one of the most enigmatic, celebrated and influential guitarists and songwriters Australia has ever produced.

The more I thought about it the more I liked what Corey is doing here, introducing a new bunch of kids to some great music. And it's always great when the seppo's tip their hat to a creative Aussie.

Here's a Foundation Skateboards micro site if you want to check out a bit more of the background of this very interesting collaboration.

And if you would like to find out a little more of what made Rowland S Howard so unique and inspiring check out the 2011 documentary
Autoluminescent: Rowland S. Howard

This deck is 8.50" x 32.375" and ready for immediate delivery while stocks last.

BERN HELMETS - ALLSTON & MORRISON MODELS are now available in Australia!



Ask anyone in the bicycle industry about getting helmets approved for the Australian market and they will quickly compare it to a Chinese water torture combined with the sound of screeching finger nails on a chalk board that goes on for years.

Having just completed this ordeal, I have some great news!


The much anticipated release of our highly demanded

ALLSTON & MORRISON HELMETS

is finally here, they are in stock and ready to ship straight out to you!

Want one, hit up your local bike or skate shop and scroll down to get a little more info on these 2 fantastic models.





The Allston
crushes it with it’s urban cyclist styling, bold colors and prints, and overall comfort and performance.

Utilizing Bern’s Zipmold Technology this helmet has a tapered, thinner, low profile fit that is lighter weight with a higher strength to weight ratio than in-mold helmets.

Designed with 16 vents there is more than twice as much airflow than Bern’s other leading bike models to keep one’s head cooler on those warmer summer days. The performance liner with adjustable dial allows for a customized fit with moisture control and is replaceable should one need to freshen up a bit.



The Morrison
is great for those urban riders that find themselves trading in the city streets for the trails.

Utilizing Bern’s Zipmold Technology this helmet has a tapered, thinner, low profile fit that is lighter weight with a higher strength to weight ratio than in-mold helmets.

Designed with 16 vents there is more than twice as much airflow than Bern’s other leading bike models to keep one’s head cooler on those warmer summer days. The performance liner with adjustable dial allows for a customized fit with moisture control and is replaceable should one need to freshen up a bit.


*ALL ALLSTON & MORRISON HELMETS ARE ASNZ 2063:2008

Nice one Perdo!

I just wanted to share a feel good story after seeing a photo on Facebook a friend shared after Bowl A Rama down on Bondi Beach last Saturday.

It was a small gesture from Pedro Barros that really made the day of a young Sydney skateboard enthusiast, Tomas. Tomas loves skateboarding, despite his disability and lacking the motor skills to skate, he plays skate 3 on his xbox almost daily. He also has a special modified wheel chair with a wider front wheel so his Dad can push him around on ramps!




TSG HELMETS - All new 2015 Models have just arrived!

All new TSG 2015 helmets have just landed in Oz.


Even better news is we got it all put away nice and dry before Hurricane Marcia hit and
wreaked havoc in Queensland.

I will be featuring the new 2015 colours and designs from the range each week as well as giving you the latest stock info on all our best selling designs.
