The Dynasty – Nixon Womens Watch
I love Nixon’s watches, they are well made and super cute! One new style that Nixon came out with this year is The Dynasty. The Dynasty is made from stainless steel and has this great cut-out right outside of the face. Another great thing about The Dynasty is that it has a one-touch access spring steel band, which makes it quick and easy to put on.
This style watch comes in silver, gold, purple, and all black. The Nixon Dynasty womens watch retail’s for $99.95 which is a great price for a watch that looks so elegant. This watch is very comfortable to wear and would be a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
Nixon The Dynasty Leather White Womens Watch
Nixon has a brand new style watch called The Dynasty. This watch retails at $89.95 and can be found online at www.nordboards.com. The Dynasty is very dainty and feminine, with metal accents that make it very elegant. You can wear the Dynasty as an everyday watch, but it is also perfect for wearing when your all dressed up and going out for the evening.
The Dynasty Leather comes in white, black, purple, and all brown. My favorite color is the white Dynasty because I just think it looks great with anything your wearing. The Nixon Dynasty Leather womens watch is well made and will last you many years, plus it even comes with a warranty just in case. This is a great watch, go out and get yourself one!

All of these boards except the OSO are long in length ranging from 43” to 46” while the OSO board is 30” in length.

The Arbor Roller series offers it all and can be used in various ways.

With the Clear Re-Grip (griptape), the top deck design is distinguished through the clear griptape giving the natural wood a superior look for the board. Arbor longboard Roller series are built to last and ride comfortably with no limits for their uses.
Nixon Superior Womens Watch Review
Nixon makes great watches, they are always coming out with new styles and colors. One of Nixon’s brand new watches for 2009 is The Superior. The Superior has a great leather band and a large round face. It comes in black, white, purple and all brown. This watch has a 70′s feel and is on trend for what is in style right now.
The Nixon Superior looks great with anything. You can wear it when your all dressed up and going out, but it also looks great for everyday use. The only downside to this watch is it doesn’t have the numbers written on the face, but most of us girls wear watches for fashion anyway. The Nixon Superior womens watch retails for $119.95 which is not a bad price for such a great looking watch.
Arbor longboards: Mini Series
Arbor longboards come in various sizes and the smallest arbor longboards are known as the Mini series. These boards range from 26 inches to 32 inches in length and 7.25 inches to 9.00 inches in width. Because of the smaller board length these arbor longboards are stiff and lighter. With typical longboard trucks and wheels, the Mini Arbor longboard series can still supply an enjoyable ride with the ability to perform tricks and serious carving.
Arbor Mini series include the Pocket Rocket (available with koa or bamboo deck) and the GB Sizzler (koa deck). The Pocket Rockets are the smallest boards available from Arbor longboards while the GB Sizzler is slightly bigger, but still a Mini. The Pocket Rockets are simply “compact mini cruisers designed to be light and stashable, with quick, thread-the-needle performance.” The Arbor Mini series are particularly useful for transportation because it rides like a cruiser and can be carried or stored easily. These boards are durable and long-lasting because they come with either koa or bamboo deck supported by 7-plys of hardrock maple. Arbor Longboards in the mini series are made for easy transportation and cruising, but there are no limits to how the boards are used because they can do it all.
Sector 9 9 Star Longboard Review
With production of the sector 9 sunset longboard on hault, the 9-star is now sector 9′s most popular down-hill styled longboard. The 9-star longboard is almost identical to the sunset. The length is 39″ as the sunset was 42″, the width of each board is identical at 9″ wide. The sector 9 9-star longboard has a little shorter wheelbase which makes for tighers turns and is also made from maple which is harder and doesn’t have as much flex which also makes for a more responsive board. The top-mount of the nine star makes for a nice low center of gravity creating and speed machine that is super stable and probably the best sector 9 longboard on the market for aggressive riders.
Setting up this longboard is very easy and should be done with certain parts for the best performance available. A nice wide base makes for a solid ride and good turns and lots of stability. The only 2 reverse king-pin trucks on the market that fit the sector 9 9 star longboard to my knowledge are the chargers in 10″ and also the paris trucks. I would recommened either of them. Also a nice fat 72mm or larger sized wheel is perfect for this board for high speeds and I would recommend a wide wheel also for more friction and traction for high speed turning. I would also put some sector 9 cosmic bearings on this longboard to create lots of speed but they are still a nice price!
