trash, any other brand produces a better kick board/pull bouy, it is like they didn't even try.

I bought Sketchers last year for 2 y.o but different model, they were amazing. This year decided to buy other model and it's terrible: sole is such a hard to bend it.
This is for kids, so it SHOULD be soft for their comfortable walking.
I doubt that kids should wear boards instead of sole.
Tried to find different model and they are only for older kids, for toddler exactly sneakers are all with the same horrible sole.
So will search other brands.....

Before Mob griptape started taking over the market, Black Magic was the gold standard for skaters throughout most of the 1990s. It's a bit grippier than Jessup and generic skateshop griptape but doesn't eat your shoes super fast. I like the fact that the grip lasts better than Jessup et. al throughout the life of the deck. There are no gimmicks or perforations or graphics on this tape, just plain grippy black grip. It's too bad more shops don't carry Black Magic these days, but I'll still go out of my way to get it when I can.

Good thing Amazon is offering it here, but they need to figure out how to package it better. Mine came in a huge box, which is completely necessary and a real waste. They should just carefully roll it up with the adhesive backing side facing out and hold it together with a couple rubber bands, then stick it in a smaller box.

Ive tried other brands, they just don't compare to yj. These are smooth and fast, great on my board that i use for cruising around campus. Might not be the best for downhill stuff though.

The bag fits both my pull float and kick board.  The zipper pocket is very convenient for keeping things dry.  It is relatively easy to carry everything.

All my sons older friends have one, so i got one for him. The parts of the stereo skateboard seem to be more quality than other board around the same price. The skateboard deck looks and feels very similiar to other plastic decks, but you get quality parts, stickers and cool sunglasses. If you rip or on the smaller side; this board is for you.

This Works, but do yourself a favor and buy the AUKEY brand jumpstarter instead. It's $32 on eBay and works just as good, and is BETTER quality, and has a better case.

I bought these and a pair of Gilbert Crocket Mid Pros recently. These beat the crocket's in all aspects except for board feel and grip.  Vans do have some really good boardfeel though

As another customer has said, these shoes definitely look better than they feel.  It's not that they're bad.  They're simply overrated.  A much better, more successful execution of the same idea is by SoftStar shoes - a smaller, friendlier manufacturer of minimalist shoes.  I own both brands and have decided to forego all Vivobarefoot purchases in favor of SoftStar.  For the record, I am just a consumer with no financial incentive to favor one company over the other.

Very well made kickboard. Some of the lettering from the logo is starting to come off after one month in the pool at 6 times a week for 30 minutes intervals, could be from the chlorine and chemicals in pool but not a deal breaker for me so long as the material it is made of does not fall apart which it has not. Good board for the money, would recommend.

I bought these shoes for their lightweight and durable properties. They are very lightweight and the soles are still solid enough to absorb a lot of impact from skating. The reason I purchased these shoes in the first place was because of their durability. In every other category, these shows deliver. They provide good board control, lightweight, shock absorbtion, and fit comfortably, but they are far from durable. I normally skate DC shoes such as:

the DC Pure model, http://www.amazon.com/DC-Mens-Pure-Action-Sports/dp/B005BW8DT2
and the DC Blitz model, http://www.amazon.com/DC-Mens-Blitz-Skate-Black/dp/B007VTGQJM/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1428612882&sr=1-1&keywords=DC+Blitz

Pures are heavy and very durable. Blitz are light and provide good board feel. I was hoping the DC Pure NS would be a combination of the two. It was actually less durable than the Blitz shoes. I skated the Blitz model daily for a month (about one to three hours a day) before wearing a hole in the side. The DC Pure NS model wore a hole after 6 hours of skating. I now have a bunch of shoe goo and extra fabric on the shoe and it looks nasty after one day of skating.

In conclusion, if you want a cute shoe to wear on your feet and look stylish, this fits nicely and serves that purpose. If you want a shoe to skate in that is durable and lightweight, look elsewhere because this is not the shoe for you. I will continue to buy DC shoes to skate, but not this model ever again.

First ball that I like more than the Pro V1-X .Which has been
my favorite since it came out. I have tried Precept, Srixon, Bridgestone,
Callaway, Nike. None came close to the V1-x.
FINALLY! As soft and tacky on the surface. Noticeably longer. Better ball at a better price.

Don't both with plastic pegs, get a board like this one. I also like the 3 person scoring capability.

The boot (and brand) are commonly requested from the guys I work with.  Lacrosse makes a rugged boot.  I work in the mining industry and these boots hold up very well compared to the competition.

Very comparable to the nets 2-3x more in price. If you take of care of things, they tend to last! Don't buy in to a brand just because it's what they use in tournaments.

Pros: Heavy net, strong tape, tight net, bright thick nylon lines for both court and net support, ball pump
Cons: Garbage, I mean Garbage ball. You could use it as a kickball it is that bouncy.

Special mention: I left one pole lay in the grass after taking it down at a local park, I emailed Baden's customer support and they sent me a full pole set (3 pieces) for VERY cheap, very quickly too. I was pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn't suggest leaving this up permanently, but I wouldn't suggest it's for the more expensive ones too.. these are portable for a reason.
