| Sonic the Hedgehog sporting goods!
Everything you need for a day outside? Yes, this is another improbable page of Sonic the hedgehog merchandise. This time, he helps you play out side and run around. This is actually rather appropriate, if you think about it, and what Sonic stands for. A logical progression would lead to "activity" aids such as these. |

Skateboarding is fun, so why not a Sonic skateboard? This one says "Real Cool Dude Sonic the Hedgehog With Attitude". This is actually the bottom of the board, and someone has removed the wheel assemblies. All Sonic skateboards are rare, never miss a chance to pick one up! They are also quite large, so mind the shipping. The art on this one is not the best...and you can see that it came in two versions (neither one bothered to color his ring properly, though) How do you tell them apart? Look at his legs from one to the other! | |||||||||||||||||||||

Here's an even less common one, with the wheels still intact. This is a "Zone Zapping Sonic the hedgehog Attitude" skateboard. With the famous foreward-facing (unflattering) stock art. At least this one's colored properly, though. It seems to be made of dark blue plastic. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| If you go skating, you'll need some knee and elbow pads! This set is appropriatly checkered, and is kid's sized. The bottom strap just randomly says "With attitude!", what's with the overkill here? |  |

| A bike helmet is a good idea for Sonic theme merchandise. Nice big item, always visible when worn, and encourages excersize. This was the first helmet produced, and features the usual stock art of Sonic plastered all over it. Even the seldom used "Weight Liftin' Sonic" appears, probably to continue the excersize theme. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Another Bike helmet. This is probably the second of the 2 known USA released Sonic the Hedgehog theme cycling helmets. Made in kids' sizes, this one features a somewhat slick-er design then the previous helmet. This MAY have been avialable in Target stores sometime in the late 1990s. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles basket ball. How unusual! These do not seem to be Sonic X specific, but still have rather cool art. They took good measure to make each ball different and special. These may be mini or standard size, it's hard to tell. Still, they make a great collectible! Too bad no one knows where to find them...and anyone who sells them over ebay won't tell you. |  |

| See the texture? These are all BasketBalls. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

A Sonic the Hedgehog "Game Ball". It is approximatly the size of a tennis ball, and made of tough rubber. The surface is uneven, so it will bounce in a 'crazy' way when you throw it. It is rather appropriate to have a Sonic ball, but the execution is just OK. |  |

Where can you put your sporting goods? Into the Sonic the Hedgehog sports duffle bag! This big bag is decorated with the rare 'football catchin' Sonic', and features other stock arts placed around tennis, soccer, basketball and baseball items. The ends have star bumper pictures, and the top is the traditional checker pattern. |  |
