Do you still use skateboarding as your normal mode of transportation? Are you looking for a board that’s a little more unassuming than your standard skateboard with flashy graphics? Check out Murksli skateboards. The company was founded in 2009, and is currently based in Slough in the United Kingdom. Each longboard is handcrafted from mountain maple wood, and then covered with walnut-tree root layers, giving it a more refined look that is perfect for cruising around the city streets. Here’s a rundown of of their board styles:

–Murksli KRUZER is our most versatile shape. A longboard by its size with a distinctive and convenient tail. Made for city cruising as well as for some hill-bombings.

–Murksli SLIDER is a well-balanced and responsive freeride board. Whether you’re doing powerslides or just cruising around, Five will give you an amazing all-around control over your ride.

–Murksli ERA is inspired by the golden-era of skateboarding. It’s our take on the skateboard shape of the ’80s. You can cruise, ride pools and basically do any trick with this little baby.

–Murksli MIKRO is a perfectly shaped street cruiser. Ideal length with the right amount of concave and subtile, rounded tail makes sure you’ll be cruising the streets in full control.

–Murksli DROP is our take on the pintail longboard shape, designed for joyful carving and cruising. Its surf-inspired slightly concave shape gives you extra grip and control. Ideal for beginners who want to learn how to ride those concrete waves.

So if you’re in search of super cool longboard, may we suggest getting a Murksli?

The best shows and movies to watch on Apple TV Plus in May

Apple TV+ has an impressive library that includes great movies and shows

Austin Butler in Masters of the Air.

When computer company Apple announced that it was getting into the streaming TV game, there were plenty of people who were skeptical about the company's ability to pull it off. Why would the tech giant, which is most known for the Macintosh and the iPhone, have any credibility in making television shows? It doesn't seem the two ideas would mesh in any meaningful way, but in the years since Apple TV Plus launched, the company has come up with some pretty impressive original shows, and it picked up a Best Picture Oscar on top of that.
What's even more impressive is that these Apple TV shows and movies run the gamut from comedy to drama, and are all set in wildly different and imaginative places. Apple may be best known for making great phones, but it turns out it knows how to tell pretty interesting stories, too. These Apple TV movies and shows are the cream of the crop and the best on this streaming service.
