I get the impression that you're a bit of a right wing tosser, no offense. Hopefully not, I've only seen a few minutes of your content and it seems alright but noticed some insults directed at "liberals". I'm not in full agreement with liberal politics 100 percent though you seem to avoid any right wing jokes entirely.
@@Beauhigg it's not, I saw a video of his where " liberals crying " was the joke. This infers a right-wing bias and that seemed quite disturbing. I appreciate his intelligent approach to his criticisms but supporting right-wing ideologies is problematic in various ways
I think creature boards without the logo are easily S tier. Their colors are usually really cool and the way they all bleed together after board sliding looks so dope.
I always felt like Hockey graphics have some irony baked into them already. Its like a 30/70 split between ironically edgy or just weird, and actually edgy. The desk carve deck that's on their site right now is a good example. I will agree that most of the recent drop that you looked at falls on the actually edgy side though.
the recent AWE angel graphic looks grea imo. I bought a kRod hockey deck with the perspective changing post card of Paris glued to the bottom a few years ago. The thing came off one time as I landed primo and feet slipped hitting the thing. Now It still serves as a painting on my wall and it's honestly quite cool
The creature logo is supposed to be cheesy, it’s trying to replicate those old horror movies’ font. They’ve just been around forever, can’t blame them for that.
I think DGK is really good at creating an image through their board graphics but i just hate how they look. I agree on Hockey often being too serious with their vision but i still think they do a very good job with their graphics
I've seen that yellow Pennzoil R34 in person. It's a Japanese Grand Touring Championship winner. Very famous car that's on display in the NISMO factory just outside of Tokyo. I never knew DGK dropped these, might need to buy a few.
it's pretty cool to see this amount of skate brands, here in Brazil the better ones we can get are in a affordable price are the element, flip older ones
Get Ted to look at Isle graphics next time he’s on. Nick Jensen is a classically trained artist and he creates all of their graphics out of physical pieces that he then photographs.
Wasn't the Habitat x Twin Peaks collab from 4 years ago, when season 3 came out? You were right though. Even I as a card-carrying Peakie thought the graphics had all the charm of a free WordPress theme for a coffee house website.
I'm not a teen but I mainly skate Hockey. Maybe it was the graphic you happened on but a lot of Hockey graphics are actually sick to look at. I like the squared out nose and tail along with the wheelbase being brought way in. I skate an 8.25 and that 14.12 wheelbase just work really well with my flip tricks and slides/crooks. I haven't found another brand with the exact shape / measurements so I'm sticking with FA/Hockey for now.
idk if it was on the site when yall were looking at it, but i absolutely love the ben k hockey graphic where its just a crossed out red 'No' sign with the brand name underneath. the brand is best when it brings in some humor, worst when it doesnt
I think Zero belongs in the S teir. An iconic logo that looks good in any color combo, misfits colabs, and i recently saw a bondage barbie one which was extrememly sick
Damn I forgot about Ted but as soon as I heard him talk it came back. Also I kinda fuck with the Twin Peaks board on premise, but you make a good point Steve.
Fun fact:the Max Palmer's 'Lord of Rats' Limosine skateboards graphic was taken from a painting/drawing Cyrus made for Max's graphic. Cyrus also mentioned in Favorite skaters favorite skater, Max does the nosebonk frontside 360's is called the Ratsspins. Max =Lord of Rats. Thank you. Also I got the 3 Limosine skateboards decks from my local. The team board, snake pit, is zilver not white and has a shovel nose (FA-ish) which I like. BBS premium woodshop can't go wrong with that. Riding a WKND deck now, those graphics are strange, in a good way. Can't wait to shred a limosine.
There’s so many better opportunities for designs and ideas you can draw from Twin Peaks. The habitat design team must just not know how to make good looking skateboard graphics, everything they make looks like some kind of coffee shop leaflet or the animated loading screens on a meditation app. The whole brand feels like 2012 Instagram and lacks any substance or aesthetic quality now.
Agreed. And it makes me sad. Such a fucking cool and perfect brand name. Not to mention legit core aspects too. And yet they continue to go down and down and down. Horrendous graphics for several years now. Truely feels like they have given up? I mean I just don’t get it. Their name alone can sell merchandise. But it seems they are putting such minimal effort it’s almost intentionally trying to fold as a company? Lol idk…habitat was one of my all time fav crews back in the day. I just love the name Habitat too
@@allstopblue5717 absolutely it’s frustrating to see such a quality brand go to waste. They need a buyout badly or just a complete shift with an entirely new design team. They could be doing so so much more
I respectfully disagree about your thoughts on HOCKEY. Might be a cringe thing in general bcuz of these 15year olds, but the graphics themselves are always perfectly executed imo.
@@giftedhater3087 ok, it may be a bit much. But to agree with Ted that only 14 year old post emo kids ride them shits, I can’t rock with that. Ted has some sort of chip on his shoulder for east coast brands.
@@FRIGIDBASTARDS Hockey consistently has some of the hardest graphics in the game imo...Yes, sometimes they're a little "much" but I think they're done so pretty tastefully. Younger kids like them because they're obviously cool looking and are quality decks. I also seem to remember an older Ben Kadow graphic that was eerily similar to that Max Palmer Limousine board, but I really like the Limo graphics too. Hockey decks are 9/10 times really sick looking, Plan B boards are eyesores 9/10 times tho lol
@@FRIGIDBASTARDS the dude is from Texas too which makes shit corny... In case you couldn’t tell these are opinions you’re hearing in the video and not actual analyzation
Growing up, I never really gave too much thought when it came to choosing a board graphic, but now I’ve been paying more attention to them Lol I enjoy these videos. I also enjoy the editing. Keep it up ❤️🔥
I like about half of DGK graphics but their boards are the fucking shit and like perfectly shaped for me. Never ever chipped one either. I feel weird being a 35 year old white dude from TN skating them sometimes but I'm truly in love with their shapes.
as someone who skates a glue deck, i absolutely agree i have the dysphoria in 8.5, and i absolutely love the colour execution, the simplistic graphic with the red background really pops and the yellow top ply fits super well, and when you get a couple boardslides on it it starts to look kinda cursed and creepy which i love i very much prefer their more simple, sort of uncanny stuff rather than their tryhard edgy stuff
i liked the embossed one, sue me. it initially looked more bone like than barb wire. that said i understand being tired of barb wire alongside butterflies and alot of 90s/y2k symbology getting spammed to hell. maybe its me being.a millennial /involuntary apologist for corny 90s symbols
Pls check out the Fancy Lads. I feel like you would have a lot to say about them, considering how they kind of fit into their own category of skateboarding.
Those DGK graffiti decks are actually pretty fckn nice straight letter pieces (in the graffiti world) and also props to Ted for using the propper terminology ''burner'' yew.

I think most Hockey graphics are top notch and I am not an angsty teen. I am a 74 year old faith healer from Djibouti.
🙏🙏🙏heal me please, my 9 year old roblox gf divorced me and I am in eternal pain and angst💔💔💔
Faith healer lol
This comment is worthy of a Hockey graphic....
Same as a 30 year okd
Was not expecting this collab. We are truly blessed
gonna need more of these if ted is down
You can only take your grandfather out to lunch once/month
@@t3dro thats being generous
I love the creature logo. Has a horror movie vibe that no other brand has.
Madness as a newer company are kinda close
It's the most timeless out of the newer school brands, they remind me of the good 80s graphics
I think creature boards without the logo are easily S tier. Their colors are usually really cool and the way they all bleed together after board sliding looks so dope.
this is the sickest cinematic universe crossover i've ever seen

The desk carve deck that's on their site right now is a good example. I will agree that most of the recent drop that you looked at falls on the actually edgy side though.
I got the silver foil ninja deck because the dude posing on the image looks like he's about to piss himself
I agree man I think FA/HOCKEY are very self aware with the graphics they put out
I'm 29 and love Hockey graphics 😩
the recent AWE angel graphic looks grea imo. I bought a kRod hockey deck with the perspective changing post card of Paris glued to the bottom a few years ago. The thing came off one time as I landed primo and feet slipped hitting the thing.

I agree on Hockey often being too serious with their vision but i still think they do a very good job with their graphics
DGK had good graphic designers with a bad aesthetic FA hockey to me is a cool aesthetic executed barely
Dgk use to be way better but they still have great ideas. The team rider boards or sets are sometimes amazing.
"I think flip is stuck in a version of childhood no one wants to revisit"
Excellent statement, seriously
So hyped to see Ted make an appearance! Big fan
How about a blank board w/an NFT that comes with it. So modern....like I'm so in and I don't even care.
Delete this comment and make that shit happen. Not before me, but before someone else does. Don't stay you were not told.
I dont get it, you're buying a blank deck and an nft, like you're literally paying more money to not have a graphic
Jaws kinda did that. It's not blank but it's an NFT.
NFTs are so shit

On my wall
Yeah for some reason the Habitat website sorts decks in reverse alphabetical order by default, so Twin Peaks is the first thing you see.
hockey graphics at least have consistent art direction and look GOOD, which you can't take away from them. rating them next to plan B is criminal
true.
what an dungeon tier move.

Gx1000 has the same shape as hockey
Just admit u have the taste of a 14 year old bro
I’m a simple man I see gifted hater I click
Jim Greco doing some arty boards, pretty nice.
Jim's boards are so nice looking for real
idk if it was on the site when yall were looking at it, but i absolutely love the ben k hockey graphic where its just a crossed out red 'No' sign with the brand name underneath. the brand is best when it brings in some humor, worst when it doesnt

That polygon art was a project we did in my digital art class in high school
More Ted please!
Krux you watch Gifted Hater?
I used to see him around NYC at MAX FISH or LES, good skater, smart guy.

Yeah their shapes are great too
Haha I'm from TN and almost 45. Love Dgk and Creature graphics and decks. Currently liking a few of the older Blood Wizard decks
The green Austyn guitar graphic looks like it could be an advertisement for guitar strings in a magazine for folk and classical music.
the monkey god guy might be prometheus. pretty cool graphic
16:34 made me laugh a lot. Really big Ikea, Airbnb vibe with habitat
Great upload that will go down in the history books
been looking through the comments, surprised no one noticed that the Yellow Penzoil car is actually an R34 and not the 33 it is labeled as.
Skaters don’t know hahaha
Ted with his microphone... so cute
He’s so dad hey.
as someone who skates a glue deck, i absolutely agree
i have the dysphoria in 8.5, and i absolutely love the colour execution, the simplistic graphic with the red background really pops and the yellow top ply fits super well, and when you get a couple boardslides on it it starts to look kinda cursed and creepy which i love
i very much prefer their more simple, sort of uncanny stuff rather than their tryhard edgy stuff
Bruh!! We need more Ted.
I think hockey graphics are fine if youre just buying them because they look cool and not to make some statement about your edginess
i liked the embossed one, sue me. it initially looked more bone like than barb wire. that said i understand being tired of barb wire alongside butterflies and alot of 90s/y2k symbology getting spammed to hell. maybe its me being.a millennial /involuntary apologist for corny 90s symbols
You right tho
that reference at 3:36 had me fucking dead, yall really do be sounding like that business card meeting
What make this better was someone asking you why to your opinions, sorta cool to hear you explain yourself a nice touch ay
Creature is kino
Yellow top is my favorite. It’s always given me good luck. Orange and green is the worst.
You missed one important aspect, how will the graphic look when skated a few days👌🏻
5:20 i bought the exact hat that picture is from lol
holy shit this one of the best collabs of all time I don't even think I deserve it
Pls check out the Fancy Lads. I feel like you would have a lot to say about them, considering how they kind of fit into their own category of skateboarding.
15:28 shit would be hangin at urban outfitters on the wall next to the cardigans lol
would have liked to see Polar, Madness or Quasi
That Little wizard is he-mans homie Orko.
epic outro, ted really found his best words
legendary collab
FEEDBACK I LOVE TED
the collab I didn’t know I needed
GX1000 has the best artwork rn, that dmt board, and the pablo one was crazy
I don’t like em. Way too busy for me. Cool to hang on a wall though,
The flip arto board is a reissue I believe. Good video
I really like the fireball nik stain graphic from hockey. One of the few graphics I love looking at.
very nice
I will say it would feel satisfying to boardslide those esports plan b faces off the board
Was literally watching your old vid as you uploaded this lmao
really good idea bringing ted in for graphics, love his takes
that habitat board is for little girls starting graphic design course to hang in their room
I'd like to hear your take on Madness Skateboards
The graphic shown at 21:26 I actually got my buddy for his first board. He really liked it
Would love to see more videos with ted
Those DGK graffiti decks are actually pretty fckn nice straight letter pieces (in the graffiti world) and also props to Ted for using the propper terminology ''burner'' yew.
What a mashup, very awesome
Feedback Ted, the over the top character: mid. Ted Barrow the actual human behind the character: solid 👍
really pleased with the video :) keep it up g
big BIG curious about your take on Chaz Ortiz- I find his place in skateboarding so interesting and I want a deeper explanation on your take.
This is an atomic combination
Loved this! Need Ted back on more of these
This is a great collab
4:11 board companies with logos that a lot of people don’t like should put the logo under the truck baseplate.
I keep hearing hockey and creature and twin peaks habitat graphics but did he cover any of those?
where the hell is heroin? heroin skateboards deserves a spot
this collab is nostalgic
wait that little wizard guy just unlocked a memory but i cant remember where from who the fuck is it i must know 8:45
Roger graphics are slept on in my opinion.
Certified hood classic
HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MOST INSANE COLLAB EVER
Those dgk graffiti boards are perfect as a 20 year graffiti writer
mikey alfred’s handwriting is the comic sans of cursive
Slick editing pal bro
Isn't the monkey god wall fireplace thing an Attack on titan thing? kinda looks like it...
now we know why alex didn't give them any creative control
I’d buy those limosine boards over that clown 917 deck any day
Limousine boards look better than most 917 graphics I've seen over the years imo
