downgrading

Listening to Strummer today Old Lew decided that since Fickle Boards is on a production hiatus until our first batch drops, we are downgrading ours company from "Skateboard Production" to something more akin to a motorcycle gang.

Hmm... Is that a fit, though? For those of you up North who danced with us in the parking lot after the sesh at Ft. Wayne's Skatepark... To those of you who shredded Greencastle with us... Those of you who have sold hundreds of dollars of shoes to us as we pass through...
...do we seem tough enough to pass for "mortorcycle gang?" WE don't even have colors, unless you count the Slayer Slip-ons we got during the trip. And Bad Brains Skate Highs...

No. Motorcycle gang doesn't work.

Some of us voted for "Goon Squad", but Weston, Simpson, Ben, Native... they're just too danged SMALL to qualify as "Goons".

From there one of us shouted out "Kook Squad".

Yeah. That was a fit! All in favor... "Aye!"

"Kook Squad" it is!

Fickle Boards, your friendly regional Kook Squad. Working up amazing quality in humble dressings for your skate destruction enjoyment. We'll make the boards. You make the fun.

Again, we are producing in SMALL BATCH quantities, so watch for them.

If your truck holes aren't straight, just hammer the hardware so it goes into the baseplates! If the trucks are centered and go in the same direction, crooked holes aren't a defect! They're a custom-fit enhancement!

Hand Made, from veneer sheets to custom shapes...

You can't order them. Just keep eyes peeled. ...or just use peeled grapes... they are realistic, if you food color them and set them in a jar...
