While it doesn't exactly hold true to it's name, it won't fit in your pocket. However, it's about as close as it's going to get, The Arbor Pocket Rocket did everything right, and did it light. Perfect for the person that has to skate a couple of blocks to work or school and just needs something that can fit in the horrifically small lockers they give you.

From late night Skate sessions to having to run from some not so great people, there's not a board I would've rather done it with then the Arbor Pocket Rocket

Arbor Pin GT
Derrick Nobbs is back at it again. Now complete with smoking lumberjack skeletons! The Arbor Timeless Pin is great for those looking for something to shred concrete like it's a wave or simply get yourself from point to point B. The long wheelbase makes it a smooth ride and is awesome for those that enjoy an open stance.
I recommend this setup with BON abec 7's a square lipped 65mm wheel and some Randal or Paris trucks (I prefer Randals for carving but the stock Paris bushings are better in my opinion). This being a basic setup is really all you need, but for those that have been skating a little while Nordik abec 7's, Orangatang Stims. and bear trucks might make this board all you'll ever need.

Arbor Axis GT
The Arbor Axis GT is the perfect ride for all you freeriders out there that want a stylish looking cruiser to boot. It comes standard with the custom Arbor grip job as well as Derrick Nobbs awesome smoking skeleton fisherman pirate.

Aside from cool names and flashy grip jobs, the symmetrical ride makes it easy for coming out of slides or not even having to worry about which side of the board you have to stand on in the morning (they can be rough sometimes). Overall whether you're just getting into freeriding or you're a salty sailor of the longboard the Arbor Axis GT is worth the buy.
