Maybe someday, Go Sports can hold a Art exhibition too! Our next move will be to find some space in this puny place.

Fancy this skateboard?

We often have people asking what's the most expensive set up we have, so here it is. Have a guess how much it'll cost and save up if you want it!

Deck: You will get the Almost Uber Light. The internal carbon fiber foam deck is ultra light and nearly as stiff as metal. It acts like rebar embodied by a standard 7 ply, giving it a natural feel with supernatural performance. The deck wears, slides, and looks like a normal 7-ply but it's lighter and has a supernatural pop that lasts far longer than normal deck. Cost: $180.00

Trucks: Tensor Magnesium. These are the lightest trucks on the market at the moment. Each truck is about 273g, about 30% lighter than regular 5.0 trucks. Available in slider or response and also in 7 different designs. Cost: $100.00

Wheels: Element durathane wheels are guaranteed for life to never flatspot. The high grade urethane is superior to all others, making it stronger and more resistant to flatspotting. Cost: $75.00

Bearings: Modus Ceramics. I think that says it all. Cost: $140.00

Bolts: Add in some nice colour bolts for colour on your black grip and your deck is complete. Cost: $5.00

Total cost of complete skateboard: $500.00

Envious look on your friend's face: Priceless

Skating on a freeway?

eS game of SKATE

2 years in a row, Chris Cole is the éS Game of SKATE Pro Champion and $15,000 richer

14 year-old Carlos Lastra from Hollywood, Calif. reigned victorious after he knocked out each skater with the technical wizardry of his feet. There were more than 13,000 skaters competing in 60 cities in the United States and 50 cities in more than 25 countries around the world and it all came down to Carlos’ last trick where he threw down a Pop-Shove-It Late Flip and snagged himself the title of éS Game of SKATE Amateur World Champion, a Nixon watch and Boost Mobile phone with a free year of service.

Immediately following the Amateur World Finals, the pros had their time to shine in the éS Game of SKATE Pro Finals with $20,000 in loot on the line. It came down to the final four skaters Eric Koston, Chris Cole, Billy Marks and Alex Mizurov. Not before long, Koston and Chris Cole were the only two skaters left and Chris was able to knock out Eric with a nollie backside 360 heelflip to win the éS Game of Skate Pro Finals for a second year in a row and take home the $15,000 first place prize.
