13th May 2020 | 0 comments
A bunch of friends around skates, surfboards and snowboards first started producing shoes for skaters and surfers in the "eighties", later they also started with clothing and skateboarding.
Today, the Globe brand works with an international network of riders and designers and with manufacturing and retail centers in Melbourne, Sydney, the Gold Coast, Los Angeles and Hossegore. From this year's collection, we have selected the 5 most interesting skate completes from Globe.
G1 Nature Walk
Model Nature Walk from the G1 series is the ideal skate complete for everyone who wants to start skating. Of course, it will also support those who have already mastered the first steps and playfully perform basic tricks. A board classics from 7-layer Canadian maple in the width of 8.125" with a concave, which is not low, high or medium, so that you can find out exactly what fits you right at the beginning. A lower, higher concave or perhaps you stay at the medium one, the same goes for the width of the board.
The graphics will definitely be appreciated only by the right punks with a sense of humor and creativity.
No no name trucks either, but in the basic line of completes, they install skate trucks by a recognized manufacturer - Tensor. These are fitted with 52mm 99a wheels, which is an ideal compromise for universal riding. They are more suitable for a skate park, but they can also handle rougher surface on the street. As with each complete, you will find ABEC -7 bearings here.
G1 Diablo 2
As no. 2 in our selection we pick the Diablo 2, also from the G1 series, which is the complete for all beginners. Of course, it will also support those who have already mastered the first steps and playfully perform basic tricks. A board classics from 7-layer Canadian maple in the most desirable width of 8.0" with a medium concave, so that you can find out exactly what fits you right at the beginning. A lower, higher concave or perhaps you stay at the medium one, the same goes for the width of the board.
This time, the graphics of the board is in the spirit of minimalism, which is definitely the Globe's way of doing it.

The Globe Excess skate complete also comes from the G1 series with a board made of a traditional 7-layer Canadian maple with a width of 8.0" and a High concave.
Funny graphics will be appreciated especially by those with a sense of humor.

G1 Ablaze
Another piece from the G1 series is the Ablaze model. Again with a 7-layer construction made of Canadian maple, this time with a slightly narrower deck width of 7.75", which makes the board livelier, e.g. for flip tricks. The board is fitted with Tensor trucks also in this case, as well as wheels with a size of 52mm and hardness of 99a. They are more suitable for a skate park, but they can easily handle rougher surface, too, for example on the street or the local D.I.Y. spot.
The graphics in rasta colours, so if you like reggae, you will definitely appreciate this complete, too.
As with every Globe complete, you will find precisely crafted ABEC -7 bearings here. Grip of course included.
G2 Half Dip 2
As they say, the best at the end. This Half Dip 2 complete is from the highest Globe G2 series. Classic 7-layer deck, a bit wider than usual completes, more precisely 8.375", which you will appreciate most in the street as well as in the pool. And also equipped with larger 54mm wheels with a hardness of 101a, which hold better on a rougher surface.
Traditionally, you will find Tensor trucks also on this complete.
The graphics is again minimalistic, which is basically one of the characteristic features of Globe. As with each complete, you will find precisely processed ABEC -7 bearings here. Grip of course included.
Keep on Pushing.
Goodstock Navy
Once again a skate complete from the G1 series - Goodstock Navy, which is an ideal board for all beginners, but won't disappoint more experienced riders, either. The board is traditionally made of 7-layer Canadian maple with a width of 7.75" and a high concave. The graphics of the board is in the spirit of minimalism this time.
