A Video Collection of Eric Testerman's Skateboarding
Team rider Eric Testerman has been on our team for some time now and we were reflecting on just how good he is with over 4 years of footage on YouTube. Each one of these are killer parts and are so motivating to watch.
Glad to have you on the team Erik!

Why do skateboarders buy one brand over another? Lots of reason.
Sometimes it is the skateboard company’s history. Every
skateboard brand has a history…the history is often what
makes people passionate. History for a skateboarding
company is usually related to the skaters involved.
Image of Marc Johnson from Complex
For example some people starting buying Enjoi skateboards
because they liked and followed professional skateboarder
Marc Johnson. He founded the company with help by
Rodney Mullen in 1998 or 2000 (both dates appear online).
Or maybe because the motto means something to them,
Enjoi motto has and still is: "enjoy skateboarding; have fun!'
What skateboarder wouldn’t agree with that motto? No one!
Skateboard company logos are important too. Wearing them
shows your passion for skateboarding. Johnson has stated
that both the panda image and the name "Enjoi" were
derived from a dream. Skateboarders everywhere recognize
the Panda logo. Some even get tattoos to show their pride of
the lifestyle.
Panda tattoo from Enjoi Instagram page:
Plus, the graphics are always important when buying a
skateboard and why Enjoi has always had a great core
group of artist to produce their art. Enjoi’s website has a
page with videos with the current crew of artist and how they
came up with some of the designs. Check it out if you love
their art.

boards we carry at our store and online.

your favorite skateboard shop and Enjoi by buying online at:

Longboard Wheels and Trucks for Sliding
There is nothing better than sliding on your Longboard. Besides some days--- sliding at the right time could save your life.
To tune up your board for sliding the Galactic G’s team recommends you add the Randal 180 mmm 50 Degree Raw trucks and Sector 970mm Butterball wheels.
RANDAL R-11 TRUCK WHITE and BLACK 180MM 50 DEGREE
Some have said that the Randal R-11 truck is the standard for a slider setup. Around since the 1970’s, these trucks are built to last and perform better than other brands. You can tighten them for downhill and loosen for around town. The truck is stable at speeds and still offers a lot of response with a wide turning radius.
