Pick a Pack
An '06 Da Kine Skate Pack For Everyone
You may think Da Kine just makes snowboard bags, surf bags,
gloves, leashes, shirts, traction pads, tools, racks, locks, wax, probes,
stickers, wallets and key chains, but you would be wrong. Da Kine also has a
full blown skate team put together by the hottest team manager in all of the
skate industry Scott Koerner. Scott scoured the globe to come up with an
international team including ripping shreds such as Brandon Biebel, Chris Haslam,
Jeron Wilson and Paul Machnau.
And for ‘06, the Da Kine skate pack series includes a
special bag for the each of the aforementioned riders. Haslam, Wilson and Biebs
each have their own color way in the Team pack, while Machnau has his own pack.
All of the bags will get your shit (including your skateboard) from spot to
spot, so peep the run down and figure out which one you need. And since Yobeat
is so legit, we’re even giving a couple away. To be the proud owner of a brand
new Haslam or Wilson Team Pack, all you have to do is email
dakinecontest@yobeat.com. In the
subject line write “I want a free Da Kine Backpack” and include your name, email
and mailing address. We will choose two winners at random from all received
entries on April 1, 2006.

The Haslam
MSRP: $80
The Haslam is one of four versions of the team pack.
What makes it his is the colors, which were chosen by the man himself. This
bag is relatively simple, but includes the basic necessities. Your
skateboard is attached underneath the front pouch. Inside this pouch are
dividers for holding pens, iPods or whatever else you need. Behind the skate
holder are reinforced strips so that your grip tape doesn’t destroy the
fabric. A small pocket on the front top is perfect for your sweet sunglasses
and never fear, there is a special pocket to put your music playing device
with a headphone opening and the main pocket is a reasonable size for
whatever. The back opens up to reveal a laptop holder that’s cushioned a
wonderful. Oh yeah and there is a mini side pocket for storing your weed.

The Wilson
MSRP: $80
Identical to the Haslam except, you guessed it, the
colors. Jeron has Velcro straps on his shoes (and they say J-Dubs) so it is
logical that his bag is somewhat blinging. The bag is royal blue with taupe
accents and baby blue zippers. This one is the perfect gift for your
girlfriend, and she can keep her make-up and perfume in the front pouch
instead of a skate to

The Biebel
MSRP: $80
This is another color way of the team pack, so it is
essentially the same pack as the previous two, but has a few minor
differences. This one has a bigger side pocket that has dividers in it. You
can still keep your weed in there, but maybe put some pens and a notebook to
keep track of your drug deals too. Also the inside of the front pouch is
more dope, with labels for where you are supposed to put your celly and your
iPod. What else would you expect from the Bieb-man. The biggest selling
point of this pack is the skate holding system. In addition to the clips on
the front pouch, there is another Velcro strap to keep your skateboard super
secure so it’s not falling down and bumping you in the knees as you walk.

The Machnau
MSRP: $65
The only pack in the line that is truly unique to one
team rider. The other dudes just get to pick the colors, but Machnau got his
own pack ‘cause he’s just that cool. This is the perfect bag to go out and
skate around town with. It’s small and doesn’t have much extra crap hanging
off of it. To attach your skateboard there are just two simple Velcro straps
so you can keep that shit as tight as you want. The front is reinforced with
rubber so you don’t get grip wear. The bag has two main pockets. The front
is decent sized with labeled dividers for all your junk. The main pocket
isn’t huge, but includes a sweet surprise: a lap top sleeve! Finally, two
secret zippers up to reveal a music pocket and another weed pocket, with a
nice, soft inside to keep your weed comfortable.
