Everyone wants to smell good. Much like buying clothing, the scent you choose should fit your personality and lifestyle because it can speak volumes. There are many ways of getting from A to B these days, but not many are as fun or as good for you (and certainly not as cool!) as cruising along on a longboard.
Longboards, for the uninitiated, are a kind of cross between surf or snowboards and skateboards. They are fantastic for cruising down streets but robust enough for hard carving and downhill riding as well.
Most longboards are between 90 and 150cm long and they come in a variety of shapes. Pintails are better for carving because they have bigger wheels, while drop decks and drop throughs allow the rider to be nearer the ground, so are best suited for downhill riding.
Priory Sports offer a large range of snowboards. The Maverick Longboard, for example, is just £99. This longboard is perfectly suited to all skill levels from beginners up, but it will particularly appeal to more experienced riders because it is designed not just for street cruising but also for downhill riding and carving.
The Maverick longboard has a seven layer deck, the top six layers of ply being made of 100 per cent grade A Canadian maple and the bottom deck a mixture of smoked and non-smoked bamboo, carefully constructed to give a natural GT stripe styling. It's also varnished in deep gloss, giving it a stunning finish.
Meanwhile, the Marauder Longboard, which is just £89 is perfect cruising the streets or carving its way down your favourite hill. Fitted with the Mindless 68mm Outlaw wheels as standard, this board has the capability to carve as hard as you dare. Its shape give progressive flex combined with the gentle kick tail to make turns a piece of cake.
As well as longboards, Priory Sports stock a range of skateboards – again great fun for getting around, and an eco-friendly mode of transport to boot.
For young and young at heart alike, nothing beats the exhilaration of cruising around on a skateboard.
Priory Sports offer some seriously cool looking designs of skateboard, and all at very affordable prices.
The Graffiti Skateboard comes in a range of colours and is just £35. It has a deck made of 100 per cent North China maple with American stiff glue, and a 5-inch heavy duty truck.
Meanwhile, Shock Skateboards come in a wide range of graffiti-art inspired designs, also made of Chinese maple and all for just £23.
And if two-wheeled tricks are your thing, check out Priory Sports' new range of scooters. The JD Bug V 3.0 has been redesigned to be more suitable for doing tricks. Additions include new full-length heavy duty grip tape, two Pro Series double collar clamps and JD Bug Pro street wheels with coloured cores. All that for just £55 – perfect for young trick riders.
