In the late 1960s, Canada’s largest city was musically booming as Caribbean immigrants made Toronto their new home. The finest ska, rocksteady, and reggae recording artists of the era—Studio One, Treasure Isle, and Trojan Records originators—simply did what came naturally to them. One by one, they hit the studio and captured some of the toughest tunes this side of Kingston. Collectively, they broke down racial and cultural barriers to form an unprecedented and little-known Canadian reggae community. Jamaica to Toronto: Soul, Funk, & Reggae 1967-1974 details this crucial sonic migration.

This by far is one of the premier skate shops online. The selection and customer service is second to none. I have ordered multiple times and am never disappointed. They take care in packaging and making sure you are satisfied with your order.

After buying fake bones bearings off eBay from a different seller a long time ago I was skeptical on buying any more bearings online but I wanted to give eBay another chance and give this company a try. Shipping was fast and the bearings I received were definitely real this time. Definitely would shop online here again in the future.
