the latest scoop



Here's the deal... we leaked some boards out last week. For Sale. Face to Face.

One guy bought 2 complete cruiser setups for his 2 adorable kids. Shipped it to him to assemble, walked him through it on the phone...

Another dude bought an heirloom issue: had the dimension markings left on it and all finished off with poly and graphic. Immediately buys another one to skate so he can collect the one-off original...

Another guy gets an 8.88 popsicle. And another guy. And another guy.

Somebody in Rochester NY orders a complete setup. Shipping soon. Here that is...





Bam! it's all going great.

And the whole time, we're getting feedback on our testers and prototypes that are still out there, lasting 5, 6, 7 weeks and not cracking. Some of these things don't even pressure crack!

Sure there've been on purpose defects in a lot of the prototypes, but even those are lasting like IRON.

To top it all off, we WEIGHED a 34.5 inch Pool Destroyer Punk Point with an 8 inch nose, 9.5 width yesterday. 3.4 lbs.

That, my friends isn't very heavy for such a plank. Our factory-made 8.5 (one inch narrower) weighed in at 3.3lbs.

So to our great astonishment, we are producing wood that LASTS.

We have found a few companies that do this, and we want you to know, all you daily skaters, that it is possible to experience QUALITY in your skateboard for the price you pay.

Our boards are $40.00 plus shipping or delivery, easily falling under $50 for most folks and always less than $60. For that you get sick concave and amazing laminate strength.

The thing is, we're out again, but we have a stack of uncuts in the shop and we'll be pressing all the way to mid-August for another pack of great wood for you. On top of that, we'll have our ONLINE STORE coming out soon, and that'll make everything a lot easier on you.

We will continue to offer completes, but you better like INDY Trucks and Bones wheels, cos they'll come with INdy trucks, bearings, and hardware, and Bones wheels, either 54-ish or 57-ish. Period.

If you want choices, go to the Galaxie, or hit up an online skate shop that has a real brick and mortar location associated with it. Support the people who make it happen, not just corporate conglomerate soul-killers like mall chains and disembodied online retailers...

yeah. that was the scoop.

We will drop a post and a tweet and a facebook update when there are boards again! Get ready, because they fly out fast. Shops, we want to supply you, too, but we'll need you to be cool for a minute while we work out our "on the wall" packaging.
We want to make them look pretty for ya. all shrink wrapped and whatnot.
