It's ON!

Today we pulled the first two Fickle Boards hand-made-by-hand out of the press... an eight ply dummy board and a 7 ply skateable.

Insane.

Glue lines are perf.
Concave is proper.
Mold survived and is pressing more tonight...

And we spent the day engineering a new top mold with offsets so we can have three per mold pressing up and running this week or next... That will usher in a high enough production for all of you to enjoy boards on the regulars, hand-made-by-hand in the Fickle Workshop, by the Bearded Madman.

And Josh Viles and Weston Vickers and Sunshine were there to help it all go down.

Seriously, the coolest thing is that we made our own concave design. It's not perfect, but it's definitely what we wanted! We will put a lot into developing new concaves and shapes and combinations of different stuff as we go, because we have the luxury of only producing boards for Fickle Boards! We don't have all kinds of orders to fill, or a rush to bag the cash. We are just making what we make with our hands for the joy of skating it!

Come enjoy with us!

Again, we'll start to offer our boards and stuff to the general public in May. Come be part of testing out what might become something epic. Maybe it already is. We don't know because it's just enjoying skateboarding, to us.
