Comune Clothing and Blackhole Boards

Comune clothing is a new apparel company that we have just started carrying at Blackhole Boards. Their goal is to provide clothing that reflects the lifestyle of careful idealism and to support the people that choose to live it. Comune was formed from the idea that there will always be people out there who not only embrace the rawness and imperfections of everyday life but use it to creatively push the boundaries of what's possible in fashion, art, and music in their own way, with complete disregard of the consequences. Besides their purpose and function, the clothing looks great and the team is as raw as it gets. With heavy hitters like Gareth Stehr, Braydon Szafranski, Matt Ball, and Jeff Lenoce pushing the limits, the clothing does the same.

Come to Blackhole for your Deathwish

Deathwish Skateboards is a brand new deck company with some former pro's from the Baker team. Even though it's a new brand, they are still affiliated with Baker Skateboards. With some rider changes at Baker, Deathwish got some of the big names that used to be on the Baker Pro roster. The pro lineup includes Eric Ellington, Jim Greco, Antuan Dixon, and Lizard King. With an amazing lineup like this, Deathwish is definitely going to have success. They have also released a new dvd entitled "Baker has a Deathwish" and its understood thats it's not the new Baker or Deathwish video, but left over footage from both teams. Left over or not, it has some amazing footage from some amazing skateboarders.

Blackhole Boards Welcomes Volcom!

Blackhole Boards is proud to announce that our first order from Volcom has arrived. With such a huge following in the skateboard world, we can now offer it to our loyal customers. With big names like Geoff Rowley and Mark Appleyard on the pro team roster, why wouldn't you want to support the brand? Our first order includes a variety of apparel and accessories that will definitely turn some heads at the skatepark. If you don't already own something with a Volcom label on it, now is the time.

Tensor Magnesiums. The Lightest Ever!

The Folks over at Tensor have done it again. They are always finding ways to increase the performance of skateboard trucks. This time they have successfully manufactured the lightest and most responsive trucks on the market. The Tensor Magnesium trucks are 11% lighter than the industry average truck. They are equipped with a 95a top bushing and a 90a bottom bushing. After redesigning the bushing seat, they are the most reponsive a truck has ever been. A lower pivot cup also makes for sharper turning and amazing handling. Be sure to get yourself a set and test them for yourself.

Blackhole Boards Wallride!

Blackhole Boards is pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Seven Springs Resort and have a wallride in their SPOT snowboard park. The wallride is 8' tall and 20' wide and is already a big hit at the park. It is constructed of a 2" steel frame and 3/8" lexan atop of 3/4" plywood. This lexan riding surface is the best for snowboarding since your edges will never dig into it. If you live nearby or like to travel, be sure to stop by and check it out. We figured this is the best way to show our support for snowboarding and our local resort. For a picture already sized for your desktop, click photo.

Blackhole Welcomes Vans Footwear!

We are proud to announce that we are now carrying Vans. This classic skate brand was a must have for us to grow our expanding selection. With such a huge following and demand for this brand, it was obvious that we needed to offer it to our supporting customers.

With our first run, we brought in some pro models from your favorite Vans pro's. We are offering some Anthony Van Englen pro models in the AV Era, and 2 colorways of the AV Sk8 Low. Dustin Dollin definitely has some crazy taste and shows that in 2 of his pro model shoes. The DD-66 is already flying off the shelves, and the No Skool is as punk as it gets. Johnny Layton has his very own colorway of the Demand shoe which has a cool look to it. Tony Trujillo is a ripper who is known to skate fast and we are expecting his TNT II shoe to sell just as fast. Last and definitely not least, is Geoff Rowley. Are there any words to even describe how amazing this guy is? There might not be any words, but his Shambles pro shoe and his Squares pro shoe are just as sick as him.

Emerica Back to School Footwear

School will be here before you know it which can be a bummer after a long summer of skating. Something that will get you psyched to go back is the hot new footwear line from Emerica. They cover all the necessary style you will need to look good on or off your skateboard. Everything from thin vulcanized soles to a classic looking vegan friendly shoe.

With the Reynolds 3 as a favorite of ours, we brought in two new colors that will definitely be hits. A black/ brown and a full brown which will definitely turn some heads. The new AR Slim is a new version of the Reynolds 2. It is slimmed down for more board feel and cuts down on weight. Check out our the full black and the brown/ white colors we carry. Speaking of Reynolds, the Boss has been an excellent seller for us. Packed with style and durability, we now offer a black/ black/ grey and a black/ black/ gum. If any of you remember the original Reynolds shoe, you will remember these colors. Ed Templetons own Transist shoe is lookin good. It has a classic look and is 100% vegan friendly. We knew it was a must to get these in so we can cater to every type of skateboarder out there. The KSL DOS is the slimmer version of Spanky's KSL shoe. We knew the black/ white/ grey colorway would definitely look great with the others. Last but not least is a new color of the Francis. This midtop has the best board feel out there and just looks amazing. The grey colorway is a must for anyone who wants a good looking skate shoe.

New Fallen Spring Shoes!

Jamie Thomas proudly introduces the Special Edition Africa Rival Lo Fi shoe. The children in Uganda need our help. In an effort to provide food and medical supplies to the orphanages of Uganda, Fallen will donate $3.00 for every pair of shoes that is sold. Thanks for your support.

Fallen has a lot to offer with its new spring line-up. Chris Cole's Trooper shoe is now available in a white/black 5250, a black/purple and a hot special edition black/ silver shoe. We decided to bring in the Fallen Liberty for those of you who are after a durable shoe with airbags. Its a Jamie Thomas pro model that we have available in white/black and a very stylish black/oxblood. We are now offering the Patriot in a black/dark gum and a white/bullseye. The Rising Sun model is a vulcanized shoe that is perfect for someone who wants attention focused on their feet with a white/red/black colorway. The Sting model is available in white/black/black, and the Triumph is available in black/white. Fallen's very own slip on shoe, The Loker is making heads turn with the white/black toes colorway. Last but not least, The Chief by Jamie Thomas is a great all around shoe with high demand so we brought in the oxblood/crosshatch colorway to cover another area of the color spectrum.

Blackhole's Skateboard Selection

Our customers are always amazed by our selection of skateboard components. They always ask, "why do you guys have such a huge selection compared to all the other stores". Let me take a minute and explain why.

The reason is we don't care.

We don't care about what everyone else does. We don't care about the prevailing myth that kid's don't know the difference between a huge or small selection. We don't care about the financial concerns regarding carrying all this inventory. We don't care about just pleasing mom and dad.

What do we care about?

The fact that we took a huge gamble, to do something different and better, for the skateboard community. Not only did it work, but we are now highly respected by skaters, our suppliers and the skateboard companies. If any good comes out of Blackhole, I hope it is that our competitors will change their weak business models and provide a huge selection, this will enable even more companies to start making skateboards, fostering even more selection.

The Holidays Are In Full Swing

We are breaking sales records everyday at Blackhole Boards. It is absolutely crazy in our warehouse, but don't worry all in-stock orders are being shipped same day. We do not accept shipments falling a day behind during the holidays.

Also, Blackhole Boards wants to thank all our customers this holiday season. Hopefully all the skaters receiving gifts from Blackhole will have a happy holiday.

Free Shipping And Some New Shipping Options

Blackhole Boards First Exclusive Skateboard Deck

Element New Balance Fiberlight Deck - 7.5 x 31.125
Blackhole Board's first exclusive skateboard. We plan on starting an entire line of Blackhole Board exclusive decks from the top skateboard companies. So, for our first deck (#1) we decide to partner with our most popular company, Element. We choose the New Balance Fiberlight deck, this was our top selling deck of all time. Then we decided to throw it into a Blackhole and it came out the other end with all its color sucked out. If you haven't noticed Element does not have that many all black (with a little gray) decks. We hope you like the new deck, you can only purchase it at Blackhole Boards.

New Blackhole Boards Logo, what do you think?

We finally decided on a new logo. You are probably thinking it looks the same, but you would be wrong. We change the look of the bug (the logo to the left of the text) and the text part of the old logo was more stretched. Let us know what you think of the logo.

New Independent Low Trucks

Stage 9 Low: Utilizing the original Fast-Action Independent Geometry with the same kingpin and pivot angles–the new Stage 9 Low turns and responds quickly and precisely–just like an Independent truck should. By keeping the original axle position relative to the mounting holes the new Stage 9 Low provides the truest wheel base possible and keeps the meat of the baseplate outside of your wheels for solid nose and tail tricks. The shape of the inside portion of the hanger has been rounded for additional grind space on smith and feeble grinds. The all-new light-weight Hollow Body hanger design creates an optimal balance of lightweight and durability, making the Low almost 10% lighter than the already light, standard height Independent truck.
In- stock now in 129 stage 9 silver and 129 stage 9 Koston Black/ Gold
