[cheapmuthafukr]

no way i could buy a deck online... except maybe from SPOT... and even then id be weary since shape is impossible to determine.

[santos]

Yeah I feel you there. I have a hook-up at my local anyhow. Still a damn good deal.

Not really feeling the film style of the Slave video but Allie still kills it. Last line is nuts.

Beauty and the Beast 2 is out in your shops/itunes/leaked.

Check it out, the beauty edit is a definitely a feel good tour edit. There was a lot of good skating and the last trick is heat. When I was younger I never liked watching park footage, but as I get older and skating more tranny I definitely appreciate it. You guys in the states have some sweet cement (and weather).

[readytoignite]

random question - when did it become standard practice to layout trick stills in backwards order, (right to left / bottom to top)?

[cheapmuthafukr]

never .

Never heard of the guy until this. Beginning of the video I thought he was pretty boring (his style is kind of awkward) but by the end I was converted. Smith to hardflip, come on!

soon as i got my apt i got a mini rap in it. Felt like million dollars then.

+ for a good thread

I felt like some people might like this. Me and a couple of friends built this, it 16 feet wide 5 feet high and a 10 foot vert wall. We built it all from scratch with no design or plans just a couple of bored kids in the summer. Excuse the dumb spray painted pictures everywhere, my friends little brother found spray paint and went crazy. We sprayed the mouth on the vert wall tho...

The beginning

And now...

The tower

[ryder]

That's awesome, TLCA. My friends and I built a similar set-up about 15 years ago - that really brought back some good memories.

[okonomi]

That looks awesome man. My friend built a mini ramp last year but it's pretty much fallen apart now. Shame...

[MyAcademy]

Definitely sick.

What'd you seal your top layer with (assuming its plywood), and does it splinter often?

Looking to resurface my outdoor jam with a plywood top. Masonite is just too high maintenance.

[TLCA]

Dude I just used 3 layers of 1/4 inch ply and 3 layers of outdoor deck sealer on each ply. It's holding up pretty well in the Chicago winter

[cheapmuthafukr]

or a skate deck art show that is gonna have a bunch of motherfuckers who dont skate showing shit... didnt make it in time so im gonna sit outside and try to sell it.

[78]

yeah it does shit me ... this deck art fad (that doesn't seem to be going away)... last one in Sydney i remember had 10% skaters and the rest were street-art-fags.... homie did a remix on the ol'Rob Roskopp face deck and no one got it...

Going to NYC this weekend, finally be able to pick up some cheap(er) swiss. I heard the Brooklyn Banks are closed for at least the next 4 years, have they already started construction? I checked NYC weather and it's like hovering 4 to 5 degrees C, that's alright to skate for me.

[cheapmuthafukr]

little contest im putting together... got vans, redbull, dc, blackbox, and probably dgk donating prizes... and some local companies too.
