Advantages: light, durable, simple design Disadvantages: small bearings, no movable side plate
...This popular mid-sized auto-lock pulley has become quite popular umong wall climbers, soloists and rescue teams for good reasons, however be aware that its use is often limited.
There are two sides to the simplicity that this device offers.
Its basic construction (no moving side plate, small wheel etc) makes it perfect for recreational use- going soloing at the local crag, putting up a slackline or stocking a rescue kit.
However it goes without saying that when most of us are looking for a device of this kind- weight just isnt such an issue. If its a question of soloing there are much lighter (and safer) devices on the market. While if we are really going to haul any real loads (bodyweight in rescues or an average sized pig on a wall) the mini-traction is both too lightweight and slimmed-down technically. Anyone with experience...

Advantages: speed, looks and pure surfability Disadvantages: cost, at 340 quid this is quite an expensive board
...i bought a beach beat board just before xmas 2000, i ordered it through harpoon looies surf shop in afflecks palace in manchester. this board was shaped by chops lascalles himself and is a fantastic shape. it has incredible floatiness, and for someone who is the wrong side of 13 stone this board is amazing, while i am about 15 stone and only surfing mini mals for the past 3 years, i found that this model, 7 foot, gave me instant short board skills, i found myself doing (badly) what i had seen the pros do on videos for years. it has a fish tail which allows very quick turns and is easy tail slide. i love this board so much. i would advise anyone who can dont buy an off the peg board, get it made for you it makes all the difference...

Advantages: colours are pretty cool Disadvantages: need 50/50
...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...
