My Favourite Skateboard Deck Brand







This is my favouriteskateboard deck brand. They have some pretty awesome and colourfull boards. I think thats the only reason why I like them.
Heres how the are made.
The first step in making a skateboard is selecting the finest maple trees.
After the maple trees are cut and stripped, they are cut down to thin veneers and prepared for laminating.

Each veneer is fed through a gluing machine that applies an even amount of glue.

After the glue is applied to each veneer, they are put into a hydraulic press.
The hydraulic press forms the nose, tail, and concave.

After the veneers come out of the press, they are ready to be drilled and cut.

The molded blanks are then drilled for truck mounting at the desired wheelbase.

The skateboards are shaped using a band saw.

After the decks are sanded, they are sprayed with a sealant. They are now ready for applying the graphics.

The decks are then screen-printed by hand
The decks are put in racks to dry

And thats it
