Peter Eubank // S-One Destro Helmet






Peter Eubank

How old are you?
 
20 frigid winters

Where did you grow up? Camarillo, CA

When did you start skating? Freshman year of high school

First Board: Landyachtz DH Race with crail trucks and Blue classic thane Kryptonic wheels, still have it, still love it.

And what are you riding in this photo:
Deck= Comet Voodoo Doll
Trucks= Dragon Talons
Wheels= Prototype Orangatang in heats

How do you like the Destro Helmet? The Destro helmet is not only comfortable but its lightweight. When you tuck your neck never gets tired. I skate harder when i know my helmet has hard foam* and is going to keep my head safe if an accident happens. Which in downhill skating accidents always happens, wear your helmet and live to skate everyday.

Favorite Skaters and influences:

That's a hard question, my favorite skaters would have to be the ones that can shred and are humble about it, good friend Adam Colton who can throw down on any type of skateboard, Patrick Switzer who races downhill with a slalom style allowing him to grip corners you formerly thought were ungrippable. Adam has definetly been an influence on my growth as a skater, he was the first guy to take us to the Malibu runs years ago and pushed us to learn new things all the time like learning to bomb hills switch, that is all from him pushing me and telling me i could do it.

About the Photo: Washington Rd. in the boonies of Northern california, this road is wild, a local hit a bear out here a few weeks before this photo was taken. 


The photographer was posted up in a corner called the never ending right, it was a dual apex sweeper that you drop into at the mid 40's. Tip + rip = clean lines. This whole road is fast though, you always feel on edge and speed is always a part of your run. Washington Rd. is not a road for beginners.


* note from s-one:  the S-One Destro Helmet has hard foam which makes it pass the high impact CPSC test. If you are skating downhill you should definitely wear a hard foam (cpsc certified) helmet.

Happy S-One Customer: Jordyn Barratt Location: Oahu

11-year-old Jordyn Barratt bought an S-One Destro Helmet
from the S-One Store because her local shop on Oahu
didn't carry S-One. Her Mom is a talented photographer
and emailed us this photo as a thank you.
S-One Destro Helmet is a safer and lighter helmet than
 traditional skateboard helmets. This helmet fits low on your head
and meets / exceeds the CPSC high impact tests. This helmet
is CPSC certified for skating and biking.

Amelia Brodka : The Kid Helmet

Amelia Brodka stopped by today to pick up some helmets.

Name: Amelia Brodka
Favorite Terrain: Pools, Bowls, Vert Ramps
Age: 21
Head Size: 21"
Helmet Sizing:
She has been wearing a Premium Helmet Size: Small.  She is thinking about switching to a "hard foam / CPSC Certified" helmet because the hard foam helmets protect your head more.
She tried the Destro Helmet on but it was a little big on her head (her head size is 21") and she ended up fitting perfectly into a Kid Helmet Size: X-Large. Helmet Lesson: If you are a girl (regardless of your age) and your head size is 21" you might want to try an S-One Kid Helmet.

Amelia Brodka & Jed Brunoehler
stopped by the S-One Warehouse to say hello.

A Letter From a Happy Customer

Hi S-One,
I have to say, I owe my current well being to my S-One helmet. When I was younger, I refused to wear a helmet (knee pads were all I needed), and I got lucky. Recently, while skating in a concrete pool at a skate park (moorpark, ca), I fell backwards and hit my head hard enough to crack the helmet. I guarantee, if I didn’t have the helmet on, I would have had a long stay in the hospital, at best. Instead, I was able to keep skating. The helmet paid for itself in about 2 seconds.

Sincerely,

Phil Manzo
