Dirty Bearings

So its still raining up here, not a big shocker...only difference would be that APPARENTLY its raining buckets in California as well. On that note...last week we made rain wheels, and this week...I think its entirely appropriate to clean bearings. If you don't clean your bearings after taking this much abuse many things will happen, if they even spin in the first place. Plus, nobody likes melted cores either, and dirty bearings are the number 1 culprit for that. Here is the fastest, most effective way to clean your bearings that I have found. Feel free to comment with another method if you got one.

1) get a big ol can of gasoline (or another solvent...but gas works just fine) Bottles that are light in colour work best so you can see whats being released, make sure it has a lid.

2)If your bearings have shields that you can remove, its best to do that now

3) pop the bearings in the can, fasten the lid and get on shaking, swirling, stirring, doing whatever you want...just as long as your creating a somewhat vigorous motion to get the gunk out of your bearings. Repeat as often as necessary with fresh gas till you crack the lid and there is no more crap in the can.

4) if your lucky enough to have an air hose, dry those babies off. If your not lucky enough...spin em between your fingers as you pull them out to get out as much excess gasoline as possible.

5) get some speed cream, or another lubricant like sewing machine oil or transmission fluid and get a couple drops in there. Don't put too much in because you'll just drown them out and thats just slow.

6) Skate!

you can also get a high pressure can of break clean and spray directly into the bearing while its spinning between your fingers...just make sure you re-lubricate! It doesn't matter that they spin faster initially with no lube. Your going to destroy yourself if you keep skating dry bearings, okay?! okay.

So, I've been on Sector 9 for 4 years now...I can safely say after trying out all the different bearings they have, the ceramic race bearings have been my favorite cause they are hella fast off the line, run very smooth, and can tolerate the heat of a good long run... but a nice affordable alternative are the steel Platinum Series Bearings. They are good and smooth, easy to clean and are cheap enough to replace them if you're not taking care of them like you should be!

Have fun out there, and don't forget your helmets!!!

Rain Wheels

Surprise! It's raining in Vancouver!

For those of you that are following the downhill skateboard circuit, you would have seen that a couple weeks ago it rained buckets in Australia during Newtons Nation. Maybe you saw the video of me skating some runs in the wet, maybe you didn't... maybe you should (Katie skating Newtons in the Wet). Get to the point, you say? okay. Rain wheels. Life's a bitch when the road is wet...but not when you got a bunch of extra edges! In fact, if you go skating on somewhat sticky pavement in the wet with rain wheels...you can almost trick yourself that its dry!

How do you go about making rain wheels you ask?! Patience my friend, Im just about to tell you...

Step 1. Pick a wheel.

My favorite is the 78a Centre Set for grip and comfort while sliding. The nice thing about centre set is that because they are rotatable, you can wear them out all you want, almost to the core as long as you move them around your board like your supposed to...cut for rain or not. But beware, if your sliding lots...the edges of your new rain wheels are going to wear down so you gotta keep sharpening them or make new ones!

Step 2. Find someone with a lathe, preferably someone that actually knows how to use it and get all 4 wheels stacked together and mounted to the machine.

My Dad cuts my wheels for me, and he does it by getting a rod thats long enough to go through all four wheels, meeting with solid bases at both ends with the end of the rod threaded so that you can clamp the wheels with a nut (Think of clamping 4 bushings together using a king pin, 2 washers and a nut). Making sure that they are pinched tight is important cause you're dealing with heavy machinery and nobody likes hospitals.

Step 3. Get a sharpie...get the lathe spinning...Mark your path...

Experiment a little on what you think would work. If your dealing with heavy rain and deep puddles; you want deeper and wider grooves so that you can displace more water. This works best for freeriding in heavy rain areas and places where maximum speed is not your priority. However, if your dealing with just a wet surface, and are in a situation where you need maximum speed, having minimal depth and maximum sharp edges is probably your best bet. Remember that the more surface space you loose, the slower your wheel will roll.

Step 4. Using SHARP TOOLS, hack away at that wheel till your satisfied! Less is more kids...you don't want to over do it and destroy a hard earned set of wheels! (Best to experiment with worn out wheels first, plus they provide a better surface when they are scrubbed)

Don't have a lathe or access to one?! Thats cool and totally understandable...easy solution too.

Step 1: Find a serrated knife (any will do but serrated cuts hardcore!)

Step 2: Find a good, strong friend that can run

Step 3: Sit on your board cross-legged and get that knife into the surface of the wheel a bit...make sure the knife is straight and your holding on tight. Put your leathers on if your an idiot prone to cutting yourself.

Step 4: Find a mellow downhill slope to make it easy on your buddy and get 'em to grab on to your shoulders and push you forward...not stopping until you have a new edge.

Step 5: Repeat this process until your satisfied with your hack job...

Happy Skateboarding!

Push for the Cure

We love the ladies in our lives, and its because of that Sector 9 team mates Mack Wacey and Skatie Katie hit up Push For The Cure this past weekend in support of the Canadian BreastCancer Foundation. 3 days of pushing from Hope to Stanley park over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend was a great way to show our support for those we care about. Follow them for a day and night as they both (mostly Mack actually) commited their time to being "Assholes" on the road.

The Crew heading out of hope

boards all set to go with the assholes only stop sign

Mack Attack puts on a smile early in the morning before headin out on the road

3 whole days of this! Many people driving by offered lots of support and encouragement

Thanksgiving dinner of Burgers and Pizza... perfect!

Yeah...we thought it was a good idea too

Doesn't matter where you go...there is always going to be campsite mayhem

Dual Durometer

Now she may not be the wheel killing machine that some of the big boys out there are, but we still think Skatie Katie has a better handle on urethane than the majority of the general population. With that being said, enjoy as our little lady does her first run ever on a fresh, out of the package set of 74mm 78a(white)/86a(pink) dual durometer lipped wheels at Giants Head and gives us a colourful commentary of the first things coming to her mind as she heads down the hill.

Style!?

Style. What is style they all ask…and by all, we mean all those who don’t skateboard and are merely listening in on conversation poking a question in here and there to try to seem actively involved when really, they are just looking like idiots. But what is it? Overall I guess it’s the spirit you present on board, but for the fun of it…lets head on through the different styles we can think of, so you can make a more informed decision on what kind of ‘style’ you’d like to emulate, even though, naturally…you’re just going to have to come up with your own.

• The first one, and arguably the best looking would be the ‘California Stand up” Style. With an old school, hands free approach, and a major bowl/street influence of people who are trying to not attach the word ‘longboard’ to their name, speed is scrubbed preferably with only f/s and b/s stand up checks and it makes this one of the most carefree and easy projections of skateboarding, let us tell you though, trying to rail a corner hands free at speed is no careless and easy way of going about it, and neither is straight bombing down a hill cause you have no gloves on or knee pads on….but its all about projecting an image, right? We love you California, keep doin what you do.

• The second most dominant style in Downhill Skateboarding is the Canadian Slasher Style. You know…up here we deal with our own elements, including and not including the rapidly changing weather. Things like gloves, pads and horrible outfits are the norm as longboarders blaze through the streets with helmets, their skins on, and shorts overtop. Oh wait, we’re talking about skateboard style…not fashion style. Same shit. What I m getting to is that Canadians started to get really fast, really quickly, and the style that developed was one where you skate as fast as you can from point A to almost point B then drop a hand on the ground and scrub that damn speed off last second (pre drift mega super champions). If you wanna control at least a bit of that speed before getting to point B, then you are constantly doing quick little stand ups (slashes) to maintain your speed till you get there. Open highways and Bricin Lyons have made Canadians very fast, aggressive racers…and horrible at clothing decisions.

• Type 3. Silly Style. These people can be from anywhere. They are simply the ones who have found a ‘new way’ to do something and often don’t realize it looks absolutely 100 percent ridiculous on board, but they can feel the wind passing them by different and that’s all they need for convincing. Often these people live in their own worlds anyways, so your really just not expected to understand their ‘unique?’ and often hideous sense of individuality. They are rare creatures in anything documented on film, and your best chance for seeing one is at a local slide jam or something…or in Europe. I know exactly who i need to put a picture of in here, but i just can't bring myself to publish it. no hurt feelings here, okay? mmmmmmkaaay.

• The big boy stance. Get on low board. Make low board move. Stand still, hold on to the nose and let the freighttrain that is your ass take care of business. See Douglas Daluha or Taylor Riley.

• This one is my least favorite, only because I don’t nessesarily enjoy the feeling of a quick heart attack when I think someone is about to completely loose it but it’s the ‘Hang on and don’t die’ style. This person is Reckless, Scared to death but still doing it for some reason and hopefully has a helmet on. Probably ‘the useless at every other kind of sport’ kid and thought that for some freaking reason, DOWNHILL SKATEBOARDING would go better. Wtf? Your scaring EVERYONE. Usually this type, and the silly type are one in the same, or best friends.

Ohhhhh Stink Bug. Most people know what stink bug is, some people do not. Well, it’s a certain style that is generally used by amatures as most ‘pros’ tend to not want to have anything to do with something so horrid. I THINK people do it initially because for some reason grabbing between your legs and leaning backwards gives you more lean into a turn, but they completely neglect to realize in doing that they a) look ridiculous, b) completely throw off their weight balance c) destroy any chance of recovering a board that’s losing control in a drift and d) will never see themselves in any published clips unless its purely to make fun of them.Do you think Style types would match Personality types?

Do you think that there is a certain personality related to Downhill Skateboarding, or at least, would certain styles on board relate to certain styles of personality? Can people have 2 styles and would that make them have 2 personality types? Is it truly regional? It would be interesting to find out! I’ll tell you what. Why don’t you take this 7 minute quiz and send us your answers with a photo of you riding and tell us where your from…then We’ll make the decision. Sorry in advance if you get made fun of.

Hella long slides foo

The East Van Grom Squad has been making a name for themselves up in Vancouver...especially this kid named Alex. Too bad the little dude just couldn't hold on this time, because those 82a reds did exactly what they were supposed to...

Get on Board!

Skatie Katie jumps on board and shows us how its done on a multitude of rides in her new video... Check it out!

Meet Mack Wacey

Meet Mack Attack, Sector 9 Canada's latest edition from Vancouver Island. I met Mack a couple years back when he was just a long haired brat getting into downhill and since then he's become a very fast rider with a head on his shoulders thats growing everyday....

Q: Okay... First things first. How long ago did you get into downhill and did you skate parks or anything before hand?

A: I first got into downhill right around danger bay 7. I think like, 6 months before DB. And I've pretty much always skated, so yeah I skated parks and street n stuff before downhill.

Q: Dude, why did you cut your locks off?

A: Felt like it, haha. "Time for a change" I thought

Q: Soo...uhhh...how many bones did you break when you ran into a ditch at the rash, and is it true you did it while just fully committing to your tuck staring straight down to the ground?

A: Well, I really only broke one bone, just in a couple spots. Sorta shattered my right elbow and then a clean break closer to my wrist. Then the left arm was dislocated at the elbow and I guess when It came out it severed the artery in my arm. And it is true it happend because I forgot about the world, in my tuck.

Q: How did the S9 hook catch you?

A: Long story short...I was contacted by the guy who manages the local shop, and he told me the owner of the store wanted to sponsor me outta his other store, and he also mentioned that a sector 9 distributor was lookin to hook someone up from the Valley, but didn't know anyone so asked the old manager from the shop who it should be and he mentioned me. A couple phone calls and emails and away we went...

Q: What do you think you can contribute to the company? Like, whats different about you, or what do you do better than anyone...at least in Canada.

A: Im Fast.

Q: You got a sick little truck now...how did you manage to get that?

A: Talked to daddy. Swindled him into paying for half, haha. But he owed it to me for raising me in the prairies.

Q: Favorite event so far?

A: Such a hard question. The Sullivan Challenge.

Q: Least Favorite Event?

A: I love em all.

Q: Event You'd like to hit one day?

A: Teutonia, Brazil. Or an event organized by my first born, that'd be dope.

Q: Favorite Colour?

A: RED

Q: Animal you identify most with?

A: I have weird dreams with bears but I think I might be a goat or something, haha!

Q: Anything else you'd like to add?

A: REDEYES

Red vs Yellow centre sets (part 1)

This is called part one because the subject of wheels will always be up for discussion... Seriously. Just like in auto racing where drivers and pit crews are so closely paying attention to tire pressure and compounds, we too are starting to let durometers and compounds play a major role in what wheel we choose to ride and where we choose to ride it. Hot Day? Choose a harder wheel...the road will heat up the urethane to ride just like the softer wheel you chose on a more mild day.

What is a durometer you may ask? Its alright to ask those questions, because really not a lot of people know exactly what it is, they just know the typical 78a/82a numbers that get placed next to it. Well, a durometer is a tool in which hardness is measured, with hardness being the ability to resist indentation. Science is cool kids! I believe it comes in 4 scales (well, for what we have use for anyways) with A being the softest base compound and D being the hardest. With that being said, what is an easy way to describe the difference in Duro's without getting too nerdy with the response? Well...lets play a little game called "Recal the difference between a run down Giants head on 78a Yellow Centre sets and a run down the same road on 82a Red Centre Sets." Although the numbers only jump four spots, the difference it makes is the world.

If your anything like me, when you are skating a super quick, technical road you expect your wheel to help slow you down by drifing, doing stand up slides, pendy slides, colemans...anything...you name it, to slow down without ever laying that dang foot on the ground. The Centre Set 78a Yellow race formula wheel provides the perfect medium for riders who skate fast but like to feel like they are actually doing something to slow down when purposely scrubbing speed. The 82a red wheel on the other hand does not really slow you down, it maintains your speed and comes with a whole new set of advantages if you are skilled enough to make use of them. Still with me here? Okay.

78a (yellow) Noticeable Characteristics

• actually slows your speed down when you release the wheel for a drift
• Super grippy, catches its edge back like it never lost it in the first place
• Due to the awesomeness of the centre set, you can rotate them to the core
• You can use them as a race wheel if you know there is a big pre-drift and you dont want to screw up and catch the edge of the lipped version
• They don't get sketchy until you've worn them down significantly (as long as you've rotated evenly)

82a (red) Noticeable Characteristics

• Fast
• Harder Compound makes them wear less than the softer wheel
• longest slides on soft wheels in your life
• Its drift will maintain your speed and stop you from further acceleration, instead of slowing down when doing stand up slides/pre drifts/colemans' etc.
• Catches its edge back pretty decently
• Rotatable to the core

The above observations are all at (25+ mph )(50+km/h) and based on my 135 pound body weight, but I haven't been disagreed with on the subject...

Just released back into the sector 9 wheel line up is my old Favorite...80a! It will be a blue compound urethane and as soon as I get a set on board, you can bet I will be bringing my findings to you. Until then, post any questions in the comments section and I'll get back to you!

Go Skateboarding Day VANCOUVER

We hear the hard wheels rolling down the street near Dunsmir park in Downtown Vancouver and naturally, both being skateboarders, look where the sound is coming from. The tail cracks, the boy jumps and the young man to my right lets out a quick bout of laughter as the guy manages to fail ollieing up the small curb placed in front of him on this mild summer night. "What a douche" he exclaims. "Excuse me?" I say with a rather protective and defensive tone, "at least hes' trying." I look back down to the longboard on my lap that managed to survive a full days worth of verbal abuse and think to myself..."fuuuck. why do these motherfuckers have to hate so hard!?." Keeping my fingers busy with the pile of green leaves on its surface, I continue conversation.

Its been a long day. I have been at work, he has been skating and we are tired from the activities presented to us through out the day. Many subjects are being spoken freely and with him still trying to check his ego from undoubted success at Vancouvers massive and heavily stacked edition of Go Skateboarding Day, I can tell that his shitty attitude towards your everyday, no talent skater and my longboard is nothing other than influence from other shitty attitudes he is forced to be around all year as a very talented rider in one of the biggest skateboarding cities in the world. I tell you, that fucking hater influence...it is such a shame for a fine young man to be a part of, but worry not my friends, the story gets better.

The evening before, he has gotten his first taste of what I do with his own eyes after watching and being amazed at the speed of bombing this 'gnarly hill' which in anyone of our opinions would be considered childs play. Sure, its full of some cracks and bumps...but after trying to explain to him that people, myself included, bomb entire highways multiple kilometers/miles long that rough- he is having a hard time grasping his head around my choice of activity. It is now a full day later and within the consistant (yet joking tone) of hate I saw all day, my patience pays off and I am finally starting to see little shimmers of light in his eye as he cautiously continues asking questions about my board, technique, and what the fuck a tuck is anyways. I answer every question with a question back to him, aimed at helping him break free from the influence of his peers and make up his own mind about what he thinks is fun.

"Where did you get that skate and enjoy sticker anyways?" He gestures to the bottom of my deck where a black sticker in the same writing as the infamous 'skate and destroy' is placed and with a smile on my face and a true adoration for the sticker and story behind it I say, "Oh, a couple buddies of mine that live in Portland made them, aren't they sweet?" He peers into the sky and with no eye contact says, "Are they longboarders?" "Well..." I say, slightly huming and hawing about how to appropriately answer this question, "They are skateboarders that are known to slay a longboard on occasion." He lets out a chuckle and I know that I have said the right thing. I look up from the ground and see a cyclist in the distance. Pointing at a stereotypical fixed gear rider hauling down the street, I give my board a tap. "It could be worse, bud" I say. "I could be one of those hipsters on a bike!" "Yeah, but bikes are fun" he quickly exclaims back. "So is my longboard." I wink and with a chuckle from both of us, we both know I have just won an argument.

The tail of the unknown skaters board cracks again, its probably only 5 minutes later and our conversation has finally cooled down enough to be able to hear the sounds of our surroundings once again. It cracks again. And again. And then what do you know...again. We both know that in the last few seconds where we have heard alot of skateboard, absolutley nothing has been landed successful. Thats when it happend, I finally heard something I knew I was going to hear, I just didn't think it would be so soon.

"Look at that guy! He's stoked. He's so stoked to be riding a skateboard that he waits until the middle of the night when noone is around to finally come out. I bet he's too scared to go to the plaza. I can't believe it. There are so many haters in Vancouver. 3 days ago I would have hated on this guy so hard for even attempting to skateboard, simply because of the shitty Vancouver attitude and now Im just stoked."

I look at him with a look I can't quite discribe, and I know that he finally has the vibe that I have been trying to pass along to his young, impressionable mind. With a couple carefully placed words and encouragement to do whatever he thinks is right I put out the offer to set him up with a downhill board and anything else he needs to join me in some longboarding fun one day, no strings attatched. I know he will be capable of riding any hill I place him on, so I let him know that and give him some gruesome examples of what the safetly equiptment is for to further peak his interest and curb his resistance to gloves and other protection. Bashfully accepting the offer, I light a match that was in my pocket and we move on to other conversation.


I haven't been around online much and I know that, so once again I appreciate all you followers that have managed to stick around despite my ability to dissapear. But with that being said, although I haven't been working hard on here, I have been working hard where it matters and seeing a smile on that boys face yesterday was a true example of my effect on others in a situation with so much outside influence of hate. Vancouver has a shitty diaper on all these babies and I'd like to think that slowly but surely I, and all the companies that support me are starting to get seen in a better light regarding all this 'wrongboarding' that we are in to. Im looking forward to my future of sharing everything possible on a skateboard with everyone possible that I can get to listen.

JAKES RASH!

America may have cheap beer, but at least Canadians have a habit of bringing a Keg wherever they go. Louis gets a cold one in an effort to forget about the cold.

What a pissy, rainy, ugly day. I dont know whats better...the fact we had a tent to keep dry, or the fact that the guy in the ditch is taking a phat pee instead of watching the finals...?!

DANGER BAY RACE DAY!!!

Race day was shared with my Sisters wedding day, so with that being said...Thank you to the Lovely Heidi Germann for the Race day Photos!

Get him Kyle! Get him! Get Him! Get him! Master of the Urethane in action. Kyle Finished 6th overall!


Oh, Louis. We know your a fantastic skater from California...getting aquainted with the haybails is almost to be expected on a rainy day!

UGH SON! Dudebro hucks a predrift into Carnage Corner

SLIDE OR DIE!!!

Danger Bay Slide Comp is arguably one of the most stacked Slide Contests in the World. Taking place during the biggest Longboard event globally, Sector 9 was representing hard between Louis Pilloni killing it on the soft wheels and Kyle Martin Killing it on the hard.

Oh Mister Martin, we appreciate the fact that you SLAYED the competition with a 50 foot long one footed blunt slide shovet out. Although this little check is nothing in comparison, tucked in behind him is a certain mister Budro who is most likely going to have the slide runs of the centry coming off that follow cam. Keep a watchful eye out at www.youtube.com/sector9media

Can't wait to see it? Thats okay, we just wanna look again...

Louis, the freaking master of the Launch Ramp. Nice 180 bud!

BUFFALO BILLS DOWNHILL BLOODSPILLLLLLLLL

Alright. Colorado is not Canadian, but it might as well be as it can get so freaking Cold at times! Why are we talking about America here? Well...thats cause this Canadian decided to go along for the ride despite not being able to enjoy the hill. What happened you ask? Well, alot did-but these photos should give you at least an idea or two...

Waking up 5 skaters is hard enough...But at least its easy to remind them to make healthy choices for breakfast!

Big Lou fought like a madman to keep this Colorado boy off his ass throughout the Preliminaries...if you look close enough, his face just may project that to you

our little Flying Feather Evren Ozan did a great job all week, and in one of the most impressive heats of the day pulled a beauty on Kyle Martin for an inside pass in the middle hairpin of the bottom section. America +1, Canada +0

Im not too sure whats going on here, but my best guess is that Dudebro is trying to sum up the essence of the female form, and Kyle is lost in the moment thinking about it

And with the Ladies being so important to us here at Sector 9, Dave Angeles does a damn good job at not only staying good looking, but full of scabs and blood as well. (Yes!)

Screw the race..WIN THE PARTY!!!!

oh what a weekend. Wet, Dry, Wet, Dry. PATCHY! If there is one thing that is dangerous to a downhill skateboarder, it is patchy, unpredictable weather with pavement that just can't seem to make up its mind. As luck would have it, the 90km/h road would almost completely dry out in 10 minutes, but even that is no good when it rains every 15. Sector 9's George Mackenzie Gets owned before the first turn in the second round and went on to make sure the nine ball was felt through out the evening, coming out on top of the party podium Sunday morning after being found by locals lost in a bush with no pants on and an alcohol content so high he could have gotten a ticket for walking.

G-Mack heads back up to the top of the hill for another round of stacked from the start heats


















Georgy goes up in the truck, and down on the road. Eliminated.


Canadian S9 wheel master KYLE MARTIN gets his board set up for a run down Muskgrave. Kyle killed it all weekend racing but really showed everyone what he's got on a slide board with MASSIVE blunts and toe's being thrown anytime there was a board under his feet.


Race Corner was full of exploded hay, and with such a large landy presense...George gets the right idea and perches himself up high on the bus for everyone to check out his new suit.


what one has to do to crawl out of a bush with legs looking like this is beyond me. The bruises aren't even showing yet...


Georgy tops the Party Podium with the Nutorious Mat 'Hoodie' Shaw and Grizz in far second and third.


Shots of people actually skateboarding. PFFFTTTT. Who needs those? Probably you guys. My friend Heidi has a million great ones of G-Mack and Lee and me crutching around like a retard, so I'll see whats up with those later.
