We’ve introduced a loyalty program so we can give something back to you guys who make repeat purchases and support our site by telling other people about us. It’s very simple - we give you a point for every dollar spent and you can redeem them at a rate of 15:1 on future purchases. So if you make a purchase of $150, you get 150 Frequent Skater Points which is worth $10 off your next purchase. The best part is that you can use a combination of points and credit card (or paypal) to buy stuff, so your points are worth something as soon as you get them - suck on that Qantas. Also - you earn points by referring other people to our site - just go to the Refer A Friend link and send a message to some friends and if they come back and make a purchase, then you earn Frequent Skater Points on their first purchase.

We’ve added a new Vault 39″ inch Mountain Board with massive 250mm wheels and a hand controlled braking system. This is now our top of the line Mountain Board with a rock hard 10-ply Canadian Maple Deck, extra ground clearance and 11″ spring loaded alloy trucks. This is just an awesome board and the feedback from our test pilots and early customers is that it flies. Of course, it’s also the best value around too.

We’ve re-introduced the Vault Wakeskate that was so popular last summer. Wakeskating is a bit like wakeboarding but the boards don’t have foot bindings and riders usually wear skate shoes. Wakeskates are ridden more like skateboards and the tricks are like like skate tricks (even an ollie) whereas wakeboarding is considered to be more like snowboarding in riding style. A wakeskate doesn’t need as much wake, or speed, as a wakeboard and can even be towed behind a jet ski,

We’ve just made some pretty healthy price cuts across most of our products. The main reason for this is the rising exchange rate. Our manufacturing costs are impacted by exchange rates and at the start of this year we had to make some increases. Now that rates seem to have stabilised at a higher level and most of our stock was manufactured with the lower material costs - we’re giving the savings back to our customers. The principle behind our business will always be to provide the best value skate hardware in Australia. Regular watchers of our site will have noticed that we have been gradually expanding our range and adding great new products and that’s going to continue. Thanks for your support !

Hey there - we’ve added electronic gift certificates. There’s a link half-way down on the left side of the home page. The way it works is that you purchase a gift certificate for any amount and receive a coupon number that you can email to the lucky recipient and then they can purchase any product and redeem the coupon code at checkout. Cool !

We’re very excited about adding Killer Panku Skateboards to our range. Featuring stunning original artworks by renowned Cairns artist Jeremy Geia, Killer Panku decks are constructed from genuine Canadian Maple and the quality and finish on these boards is superb. They’ll be available as decks or complete boards and will be on the site within the next week. These are simply the best looking skateboards we’ve seen.

We’ve got some new gear arriving shortly. Here’s a look at a couple of new Vault boards. The photo’s aren’t great but you get the idea. A lot of R&D went into making sure that these boards will ride beautifully. We’re really excited about them and they should be for sale on the site by the end of July.
