yeah i can never find blank ones though, with no design. i guess i'm going to have to just buy some and sand off the already existing paint job. what sucks about that is that if you spend 50 bucks on a deck a big chunk of that is paying for the design that i'm going to be sanding off you know. that's why i'm trying to find blank ones.

[DoubleJ]

I'll definitely see if I can find some. I didnt know you were into skating

[brooklyneast05]

i've been riding like 10 years or something but i've never been that serious about it besides a brief stage when i was like 13-15 and i wanted to be tony hawk or some shit. i usually only skate long boards now for leisure with a friend. riding > tricks to me personally. i should do it more really.


i want to buy a set of blank decks though to put my own designs on them and then have my own little series of ones i like. maybe like sell them locally or something, but either way i think it'd just be cool to paint some for me to have.

no doubt I feel ya bro. If you design some boards, then I will definitely buy some from you

I have a blank deck but...you know, I don't really remember where I got it. I think I got it from CCS, but that was a long time ago.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

CCS has them. Good quality too.

[brooklyneast05]

^ link?

i looked around but i couldn't find anything not designed.

[Mikeplyts]

I skate too. My friend made his own deck design using this. Of course, you can just leave it blank and not do anything to it.

[brooklyneast05]

^ damn though they wanna charge me 50 bucks for a plain board

[Mikeplyts]

^Yeah, but that's one of the good ones I could find and my friend's board looks really good which is why I referred it. Maybe I could search some other sites later or if there are any local skateparks around you, some let you order a blank skateboard.

Powell had mini-logos for $40. You're not going to find cheaper decks than that range. $50 is actually pretty generous in comparison, especially if it's a slick.

[brooklyneast05]

50 isn't that generous to me when i could go to the site javonn said www.activemailorder.com and get 35 dollar active ones and sand off the design. i would do that before i would pay 50 bucks for a blank board.


if they are going to be for just the sake of design i don't care too terribly much about the quality becuase i won't be riding them if i'm just going to do a series to hang. how much i would pay really just depends on what i do with it in the end i guess.

[Reidar]

I've bought from there. The deck had absolutely no pop layered in. It was flat as a pancake.

If it's only for decoration, though, have at it.

CCS.

Yo JC, you have any footy?

[brooklyneast05]

i wish.

i used to try to make my brother lay on this little ramp we had and film me and my friends but he sucked. no great skateboard films were ever made that way. i mean, he was like ten years old so i can't hate on him too much i would also do something like 6 inches from his face so that scared him off as well.

i was never a particularly amazing skateboarder when it came to tricks.


did/do you skate brandon


edit:
i think i know more black people than white people who skate personally. i just realized that.

[fameONE]

did/do you skate brandon

I did for years. I stopped around late 2007. I don't know why, but I just stopped doing it. That was around the time when drifting took over my life. I was never a good skater, but I could hold my own.

To this day, I still can heelflip, but I have never been able to do a kickflip to save my life.

Same here. If it weren't for moving to the suburbs, I would have never figured that people considered it as a 'white' sport. I started skating because I saw Stevie Williams in LOVE park when I was 13.

[brooklyneast05]

it's ok, i could never heelflip.


my early memories of skating were at this one ladies house that'd i would stay at in the summer when my parents were at work. she had four kids, and they all had bikes and so the only way i could ride anything with them was if i rode this crappy little plastic blue toy skateboard.i taught myself to ride on that, which is an accomplishment in itself if anyone has ever tried riding a kids toy skateboard. those things are made for failure lol. sorta funny, i wouldn't have thought that i would still skate ten years later, i was just making up for not having a bike at the time.



HEY EVERYONE SHARE YOUR SKATING STORIES, this thread has changed topics, but still tell me if you find blank boards for a good price.

[fameONE]

I think it's pretty ironic that Nike SB Dunks are so big. I remember when I first moved to the suburbs and this Becky tried to clown me because I was skating in some Jordan Is.

I bet that same broad has a pair of SBs now.

LOL that made me laugh. i have nothing useful to contribute, but i've always wanted to collect skate decks or design my own someday, like using it as a canvas to tell a story. i don't skate though. /end poser

it'd be really neat to have in your house, though it's probably been done many times.

what mediums are you using to design?

[brooklyneast05]

@ brandon, agreed about the dunks. I always skated in basketball shoes cause that's just about all I ever owned



I duno yet sandy, I was thinking about what I'd use. probably try a few differnt things depending on what kinds of design I did. I'm not very good with spray paint even though I've always wished I could do graffiti. I mus tcontemplate this more

You're from NY (BK no less) and you don't even have a handstyle?!

[brooklyneast05]

My cousin (OATS2, now revised to OATS34) would hit up the trains in the Bronx in the summer. He got into it at 12 years old. So when he would come back down to Tri-State (PA, DE, NJ), he would share what he learned. I was only 10 when I really took an interest in it, and I think my first pen name was BLAZE613 (Method Man obsessed, and I was developing a weed habit). He would drag me to the stockyards in Camden, or the riverfront in Philly just to practice.

I got older, grew out of the toy phase, and was able to hang out across the bridge in Philly more often without the older kids clownin' on my style. Somehow, I become Fame, a nickname given to me by ROK3 after he saw me bboy. Right around the time my family moved to Texas, I had started writing fameONE. It stuck with me all this time. My style didn't evolve into anything other than bombs and eccentric handstyles until I got to Japan and realized that I had no concept of blending colors, or 3d styling. I gathered what I could from a few cats named SANTA and some others in the CGR Krew. Myself, MENACE and MOAK became [.:DSK:.] and that was all she wrote.

Just wait until the hiatus is over. When I get settled into DC, I'm turning that city upside down.
