Everything you need to get started skating, brought together in one seriously good-value package. This Bob Gnarly bundle pairs the Birdhouse Stage 1 Hawk Crest complete skateboard with a full set of 187 Killer Pads adult protection and a Pro-Tec Prime Certified helmet. Choose your pad size and black helmet size, then enjoy all three essentials for £159.99.
Buy the three products separately and the total comes to £177.77. With this bundle, you save £17.78 – a full 10% off. No need to piece together your setup: board, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards are all covered.
A proper ready-to-ride complete from one of skateboarding’s most recognised names. The 31.5” long, 8” wide deck gives new skaters a balanced platform for learning to push, cruise and build confidence, while its mellow concave offers comfortable, predictable foot placement.
The 95A wheels offer a useful balance of grip and slide, while the smooth-rolling setup is at home on the pavement, driveway or skatepark. Strong, versatile and ready for the first session.
Six pieces of purpose-built protection from 187 Killer Pads: a pair of knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. The contoured shapes are designed to sit securely, with impact-absorbing foam helping cushion knocks and hard landings.
Available sizes: XS Adult, S/M Adult, L/XL Adult and XL Thick. For the best fit, measure around your extended knee and elbow and around your hand at the knuckles. If you are between sizes or unsure, 187 recommends sizing up.
Classic Pro-Tec styling backed by a durable ABS hard shell and EPS liner for impact protection. The Prime helmet combines a secure, comfortable fit with 11 open vents to help keep air moving during sessions.
This is a great-value way to get a new skater set up with a quality complete and dependable protection from trusted skate brands. Whether it is a first skateboard, a fresh setup or a gift for someone keen to get rolling, this package brings the essentials together and leaves more money in your pocket.
