Atomic Medusa 90 Ladies Boot

This is one of my favorite ladies boots for so many reasons. It has a 98mm last which fits those a or b ladies width feet with ease. Usually to get a boot this narrow, we have to go to a race model boot. But no longer. This boot has a super comfortable liner and a 90 flex. Perfect for the intermediate to advanced lady skier. The boot looks great too. The translucent shell shows off the detail in the liner. So if you have a narrow foot and are looking for a fun, light performance boot with comfort, this is it.

New Oakley Jupiter Models

Yes this is my favorite pair of sunglasses that Oakley makes. They basically took a frogskin and wrapped it just right. It fits well, provides coverage, and looks great. Always safe black and this cool translucent grey with fire lens. Rad. Grab some Zinka and hit the beach

Set up of the Minute with Dave

Our old friend Dave came in yesterday with Bear to grab a couple of things. Low and Behold he left with a new pair of Valo TV2 skates. These skates are wicked strong, and Dave has always wanted to try a pair. Great seeing you and enjoy your new blades!

Es Square Two's With STI Fusin Soles

2 Fresh new square 2's came in today. Both of these models incorporate the STI Fusion technology. What is this you ask? Here is a quick blurb from the STI Website.

The outsole, midsole, and upper are fused together to create 3 times the bonding strength compared to traditional vulc shoes.

Unlike vulc shoes which use glue to hold the different parts of the shoe together, the upper and outsole in STI Fusion shoes are held together using liquid PU foam. As the PU dries it creates an unbreakable bond. By adding a piece of foxing tape; a vulcanized look is achieved.

Not only is STI Fusion more durable and comfortable, it is also twice as flexible and 20% lighter than previous generations of vulc shoes. Best of all the shoes are greener to produce because less glue, water, and energy is required to make the shoes. Look for the STI Fusion logo on select skate shoe models!

So Stop in and check em out. Still with G2 Gel in the sole. These are a must have.

Stop in and grab one of these limited decks before they are gone. Wah -Pow.

Logan wanted, or should I say NEEDED a dope new Loaded longboard. His friend had a tan tien, but he wanted something different. After cruising around on all the models, he quickly fell in love with this Bhangra model. It has an awesome flex and tons of room to walk around. So have fun the rest of this summer with your new set up and good luck on the sliding.

Grind Wheels From Eulogy

It's been years since we have had some "REAL" urethane grind wheels in the store. For those of you that know, these just slide better. Sure they weigh a little more, but they are way better and last a lot longer than cheap plastics. So come in and grab a set. These are fresh off the presses!

Slide Jam today "Thanefest"

The First Annual "Thanefest" went down today in Ashburn and it was great. For a first time event there plenty of good riders out there and the weather was perfect. Just a bunch of good people getting together and hard charging this rad street. The day wouldn't have felt complete if there wasn't a great wreck though.
So leave it to Alpine's own Nick Ketner to hard charge the hill on his pool board. Speed wobbles and oncoming cars on a steep hill don't mix. And there was a nice belly slide on some pavement. But he's used to it and we hope for a speedy recovery. All in all it was a great day and we look forward to seeing and helping out with more of these in the future!

Set up of the minute with Kara

Kara saw her first bout up in Baltimore and is hooked. So she stopped in today to find herself some skates to go and learn on.

Front Flips Break Tails (Literally)

Yes, this is Alpine's own Brian Nero showing off his 2 custom Capita's. What's missing you ask? Why do they look so short?
