Hello everyone, how are you?

I am feeling so fresh today after 2 hard days at the "office" so I decided to do a shopping therapy session.
I traded some of my liquid Hive at a really good price (Learn more HERE) and it's time to put that money I made into good use.

A skaters priority when it comes to shopping is simple.
Skate gear, skate gear, skate gear!
That's pretty much it! Hehehe.

I am sponsored by two companies, Propaganda Rollin co and UndergroundskateshopSKG but both these companies have limited stuff so I can't get everything for free.

I was only going to buy a pair of trucks for 86 Euros but in the end I ended up spending more than 200 Euros! Hehehe.
Let's take a look at what I bought.

My Order

The place I chose to do my online shopping was https://www.titus-shop.com/.
Titus is one of the most well-known online skateshops in Europe and always has the most fresh stuff and the best deals.

I bought 2 pairs of Independent trucks, one for me and one for fellow Hiveskater @dikayskate, a pair of Bones Reds bearings, 2 Titus 1 1/4" Mounting Kits and 2 Film Skate Waxes for a total of 220,91 €.

Not a bad deal at all.
Let's take a look at each item seperatelly.

Independent 139 Stage 11 Trucks, Black

Fellow Hiveskater @dikayskate has been sharing content on Hive and Steem Daily for the past 3-4 months and it was about time he put that money he made into good use.

Dikay skates an 8.125 board so 139 size trucks are the best for him.
Independent trucks are my personal favorite trucks to skate and I think most of you will agree to that.
Durable, not too heavy and of course they come with a life-time warranty. That means that if you somehow manage to break your trucks Independent will sent you a new pair for free! How cool is that? It never happens though.

I've been skating Indy trucks for more than 13 years and not even one pair ever broke. These guys know what they are doing.

Independent 149 Stage 11 Milton Martinez, Silver

These babies are for me. I already told you about Independent and how good their products are so the only thing I am gonna mention here is that this pair of trucks are designed by Independent pro rider "Milton Martinez".

Milton is a mad man who won the SOTY (Skater Of The Year) award last year and he totally deserved it.
Just check out his "Demoliton" part on Thrasher's Youtube channel.
He is a BEAST

BE LIKE MILTON

TITUS 1-1/2" Inbus Linsenkopf

Fresh Hardware is really essential if you want your board to feel stable at your feet. You can buy hardware much cheaper at local shops but trust me, it's not the same. At least that's how I feel judging from my experience.

Skate bolts are designed for skateboarding and to absorb huge impacts etc.
I bought 2 pairs of em for only 2.99 Euros each.
Not a bad deal right?

Bones Bearings Reds

I have never skated "Bones Bearings" before so I did a fast Google search and it seems like they are one of the best pair of bearings out there that come with a low price.

I was between "Bones Bearings" and "Bronson G3 Ceramics" but I decided that it was not worth to waste 40 Euros on bearings.
Time will tell if this was the right choice.

Film Curb, Skatewax

If you want to slide and grind, you need skatewax - that's the golden rule in skateboarding.

Normal wax won't work on a ledge because it frays fast. Skate wax is designed that way so you don't have to wax the curb you want to skate every 2 minutes. 1 good waxing sesh and you are good to go for hours!

I chose the "Film" Wax due to it's rectangle shape. All other waxes were circular and they would brake into dozens of small pieces when waxing.

Can't wait to wax the sh*t our of every ledge in my way when this one arrives!!!
