@AviYinglet asked:

What are your thoughts on skateboard art? Do you have an ideal design you'd want on something you'd ride on?

OUGH OK SO

as for an ideal design id want to ride on, i would love to have my header on a board. i love that stupid fucking horse so much and i wanna slam her face into rails SO BAD. ive considered getting a custom board printed but idk the quality of them and id rather not spend like $100 or whatever finding out

in general tho, skateboard graphics are fucking amazing. i will 100% choose a board based on its graphic (and the sizing and concave but shh) because i want my board to look fucking sick. if im making a whole new setup (which i used to do regularly cause i'd skate them into oblivion) i'll usually pick each part to be cohesive with the deck design. even now that ive started to ship of theseus my boards i still make sure it all looks cohesive and nice as best i can

heres my current setup! its a REAL board that used to look very pretty, but ive skated it pretty hard since then.

A scratched up skateboard. The design has a gradient from top to bottom, starting green and turning to purple and yellow in the middle, to pink at the bottom. The axles are silver with white wheels. There is one green bolt holding the axles to the board, in contrast to the standard black.

This gets pretty long considering all the images, so under a read more it goes x3


Powell Peralta graphics are fucking classics, though they aren't usually my style. I do love the Cab deck though, its really good.

A Powell Peralta skateboard deck design. A skeleton with bright green eyes has ripped through the foreground of the design and is poking its head through looking at the viewer. A Powell Peralta skateboard deck design. The name 'Caballero' is printed in large block letters at the top of the deck. A Chinese dragon design takes up the remainder of the deck.

I've always really liked Girl skateboards (huh i wonder why...) and their designs always just kinda fuck

A Girl skateboard design. The board is a pro board for Davis Sheila and has the female washroom sign graphic as the core design element. A Girl skateboard design. The board is a pro board for Cory Kennedy and features abstract geometric designs on the top half of the board, while the bottom half is a solid red.

And god do april boards go hard. April has signed a new generation of pro skaters, Yuto Horigome and Rayssa Leal both are olympic medallists and both have a board with April, and they're both fucking beautiful

An April skateboard design. This is the Yuto Horigome pro board. It features the silhouette of a woman's face against a blue gradient background. An April skateboard design. This is the Rayssa Leal pro board. It features two blue macaws on a branch in a jungle.

I fucking love skateboard graphics so much just look at them. stop reading and go back up to look at them i dont have anything else to say. why are you still reading go look. if you want more go look up the brands ive mentioned. go look up board companies and stare at their boards. theyre really fucking good.

except primitive FUCK primitive all my homies hate primitive. theyre like if supreme was maximalist and made skateboar-I FORGOT SUPREME HAD A FUCKING TEAM FUCK SUPREME TOO ALL MY HOMIES HATE SUPREME anyway yeah i love board designs
