Schaeffer Mclean video diaries...



Schaeffer Mclean has been a very busy skateboarder lately! Here's a selection of his latest videos, showing all the action...

"We had just two hours to stop by a town, and we challenged ourselves to visit all the street spots we could. Here's what happened":




"After a long break from attempting it, Schaeffer went back to land the Big Three at Lloyds in Bristol. The Big Three is a legendary Skatespot and very huge. He landed it and this is what happened":




"New Skatepark built by Maverick Industries in Dunstable. This was the Official Opening Day and Skate Jam in March 2015 and here are a few quick clips of Schaeffer skating in the Under 16s Street Competition. He wins a Santa Cruz Board for his 50-50 trick on the curved ledge 180 out":


Keep up to date with Schaeffer via YouTube, Facebook & Instagram - this young man is a skateboarding legend & so talented you'll be addicted before you know it! :-)

SMB Bearings Interchange now live...

Our technical department have just finished work on our updated bearing search & interchange:


This function will help to provide a fast conversion of manufacturer or competitor part numbers & you can also identify bearings if you have sizes/dimensions but no part number, or if you have a part number which you don't quite recognize...

An example of a search on our new interchange.

Of course there are times where it's best just to speak to someone, so if you're having difficulty finding a direct interchange please feel free to continue contacting us if you need extra help identifying those tricky little bearings you've got :-)
