Haro 2001 Backtrail Pro

...There are two versions of the Kevin Gillan psirus but they are both pretty much the same skate. Both of the skates come with: Frame .......Senate Wheels ......Senate Kevin Gillan Pro 55 mm / 88a Bearings ....USD ABEC 5 The 2000 model is Black and Grey with Red highlights which looks pretty amazing. The new 2001 model is a bit plainer with an all grey boot and black highlights but they do come with a puffy toungue so you can style them out a bit more. All psirus skate about the same and these cost around £200 depending on how good your local shop is. The psirus boots look really nice and they are pretty good to skate on. The liners are really comfortable but the stiching isn't that good in them so don't but them too small because you will rip them to shreads putting your feet in. I don't really rate the senate frames that highly... Read review

Advantages: Solid performance, cheap price, great build quality, not yellow.
Disadvantages: Should be called Drake GT? Ciao, do your research! ;-)

...I have ridden with bindings from Burton and Sims, as well as borrowing boards and bindings from a number of mates, but since 2001 I have owned a pair of Drake F60s (drakes top-of-the-range model) which they have not only provided me with a great connection to the board, but they have lasted through 2 boards and upwards of 300 days on the slopes. They are still going strong, and so when it came to kitting out my girlfriend there was only one place to start looking. Drakes "entry level" binding. The design of these is identical to my old F60's, not surprisingly as this geometry has been proven by a wide selection of pro's over the years and... it works! The materials I guess have been downgraded, with plastic substituted for metal in some areas, but I have no worries with that, as technology has improved to the extent that the plastics...

...Mention the Pro V1 to the average golfer and one of the first words they'd use would be 'expensive'. Mention the Pro V1 to a decent golfer and one of the first words they'd use would be, 'long'. Mention the Pro V1 to a good golfer and the word they'd use would be 'essential'. There is no doubt in my mind that the Pro V1 has taken shots off my game. I am no expert on the production of golf balls, but as a low handicap golfer I believe I am able to review this as well as most. Titleist describes its characteristics as: Longer Tee to Green. Straight consistant Ball flight. Drop and Stop Technology. Soft High speed Performance feel. Shear and Abrasion Resistant Cover. With none of this can I argue, but for someone who wants to know how this will affect there game, what does it mean? Longer Tee to Green - I found that I was hitting my... Read review
