Info – The SkateFurther logo
So we think the SkateFurther Logo is pretty darn rad. Over the years we have seen it on t-shirts, hats, beanies, stickers, griptape and even a Demonseed or two! We have done small runs of t-shirts now and again but the shipping made them too expensive. So in order to be a bit more environmentally friendlyContinue reading “Info – The SkateFurther logo”

Review – Harfang Stage 4 Kegels
Michael takes the Harfangatang Kegels for a few skates and gives SkateFurther a review. Great distances mean a great variety of surfaces, no wheel will be perfect for them all. Softer, bigger wheels will plough through soft gravel, mud and carry on spinning longer with every push but that extra weight will cost you energyContinue reading “Review – Harfang Stage 4 Kegels”
