Bliss Longboards / Rayzor Tattoos Caution Downhill Sign

Bliss Longboards and Rayzor Tattoos are now manufacturing these caution signs. Printed on 1/4 inch thick, high impact, exterior plastic signboard, they are durable and light. This is not some cheap BS material. Signs collapse flat for easy transportation and storage. The hinges are a tension fit folding plastic. They are tough and will last through some serious abuse. Sign measures 28" tall and "16 wide, with a 1 foot wide base. In case of a windy day simply place something heavy (rock) on the base to hold it in place. Fashioned somewhat after other caution signs to get people's attention. The black print on this bright yellow face stands out and is very noticeable from a distance.

Axio Bags


These bags caught our eye some time ago and we have since decided to offer a couple of their eye catching, well designed and durable bags here at the Tap.
I guess we should explain who started and continues to run the Axio brand: Bob Haro. Yes, THE Bob Haro from the early freestyle BMX days who, as far as we're concerned, laid the foundation for modern freestyle BMX. Bob had great style on and off his bike and his eye for style and design continued into the products he made for BMX.

In the 1980's Haro was years ahead of the game and his new line of Axio bags continues the tradition some 30 years later.

The Story of Normal Watches:


Matthew and Shayne met in jail. Shayne had been arrested for protesting the US invasion of Iraq. Matthew, well, let's just say it's public record if you really want to know. They quickly formed a bond over music, film, fashion, and being stuck in the joint -after- having quit smoking. Over the years, they stayed in touch as Matthew barnstormed the music and broadcasting worlds and Shayne became an Art Director at the likes of Atlantic Records and VH1 Classic.

While showering, however, they talked about starting a company that pushes the envelope creatively, that connects with people in an immediate way. Something that gets people excited! Most of the haters told them to explicitly avoid making watches since no one needed them anymore to tell the time (cell phones, iPods, etc), so that's exactly what they created -- a watch company dedicated to "trailblazing sub couture." They released their first line of watches in March of 2008 and will have 15 watches available by the end of the year. All for under $20.

The jail where they met will forever be etched upon their wrists. Interestingly, it was in Normal, Illinois.

Ruby Helmets

"Wear one of these when your riding your BSA not your SMA"
- Buddy Carr

In our never ending search for cool, unique and hard to find skate products, we stumbled across French skater / designer: Jerome Coste and his Ruby brand of helmets. Although not an actual "skate" helmet, these DOT approved helmets are truly unique and one of kind. Created from light weight Carbon Fibre with chrome plated trim and lined with a rich Nappa lambskin, Ruby helmets have set the benchmark for high performance, upper end helmets.
Much like our Kanoa® Flyaway® helmets, Ruby may not fit everyone's style or budget but for those who are looking for a truely remarkable and state of the art DOT helmet, then look no further than Ruby.
