Racine's new indoor park is open. "Captain Ron's Skateboard Park" opened early in April and is currently trying to get a skateboard contest together within the next month or so.

3/28/02 - All right here's the deal. The banner on the homepage, "gear" link in the navigation section and any other links referring to our retail merchandise, all connect to our online store at Cafepress. It is an online store operated independently of Death-Grip that handles orders, production, shipping and financial transactions for us. To put it simply, we submit our designs, they handle the rest. Using this service provides us the opportunity to offer products to you that would otherwise be too costly for us to offer directly.They also take just about every form of payment recognized by civilized society in this great nation ( sorry, no virtual pawn shops(yet!), so it couldn't get much easier.
You will also see we have a "Dealers Only" section. This is for our specialized line of goods that we have painstakingly created from scratch and are customized for skate shops and scenes. If you like what you see there- by all means speak up and let your local skate shop know! We're also happy to let you know what shops are offering our product as deals are made.
