cool!! I loved this video from the start to the end eric koston is f*cking crazy and funny :-) johnny layton & tony cervantes rocked tha house yeaaaaah
1:13 making 5 boards in one mold tsk tsk doesn't that making each board different in terms of the steepness of the tail, which is why dwindle use 5 individual molds to make boards.
Geoff says that people don't appreciate skateboards because they don't know the process of how boards are made, yeah that's true, you know who those people are? The sponsored ones...They focus boards on purpose because they get them for free.
i know, i live in sf and im extremely liberal, i thought it was crazy how people could vote in favor of prop 8, i just thought it was interesting cuz i was not expecting him to be, i obviously still like him, he shreds and he gave me a free cruiser
yeah. you have to buy the wood. import it. treat it i various ways not shown here. Then the shops gotta make money. taxes need to be pay etc. we pay 100 $ in europe for a pro model.
your in europe. Im in san diego where this wood is pressed, painted and distributed to shops within 30 miles of Black Box and within 90 miles of schmidt. And decks are not being made with candian maple or rock maple but now they're from china and mexico. I played baseball, i would never swing a bat that was from mexican or chinese wood. same for my decks. bought a 29$ Blind team deck, my baseplate cracked on a flat ground tre
+cris lamont It's Canadian wood that gets cut and trated. Then molded into special molds that are specific to what a brand wants their boards to feel like after research. It's then trated with special glues that harden and keep together better for boards. It then gets cut and sanded. Then an artist's work is placed on a special plastic paper thing and that same image is heat transferred into a skateboard. The price is then brought up to pay for research, the shop and the brands can make money off of it.
Isaiah Semilla agreed, it's antiquated. I already don't like the P2/kevlar idea, but, if this is the way Flip is still making their boards, I'm out. Each board should be pressed individually, so the kicktail angles and concaves stay consistent.
+HelmetVanga dwindle presses boards individually but, it's not a PS Stix shape and the wood isn't that good. Although, I've heard really good things about their impact boards.
This isn't the best comparison. If you compare a brand to a distributor it's not the same measurement. Your comparing the sales of Blind, Enjoi, Almost and Darkstar, to single brand. They're wood feels pretty dead and the impact stuff is nice and helps with the durability but their boards still feel old. But to each their own, this is my experience with the brand.
The way they press multiple decks at the same time is dumb dumb... The deck that's on the bottom of the stack will have a different shape than the one on top, which is stupid because then you will get a different shape on your deck even though you bought the exact same model.
2:08 "i dont see people from basketball showing how the bats are made" bats?
Lee Gamblen 'bats-sketball'
BASEketball.
"with geoff rowley" and the it shows koston on the thumbnail. lol
Johnny Layton´s trick was incredible!
Don't tell me you guys have never played basketball with bats? It's AWESOME.
after seeing how much work go in to skateboards makes me respect my deck alooot more.

1:13 making 5 boards in one mold tsk tsk doesn't that making each board different in terms of the steepness of the tail, which is why dwindle use 5 individual molds to make boards.
Ha, Josh skating the pentagram
@TheHenryTown Pentagrams are upside-down stars.
i didn't know stars are called "pentagrams" nowadays.
Super dooper cool.
so it just goes from making boards to a contest in L.A.?
Geoff says that people don't appreciate skateboards because they don't know the process of how boards are made, yeah that's true, you know who those people are? The sponsored ones...They focus boards on purpose because they get them for free.
why wasnt chris cole there or p-rod
can't believe i didn't catch that
Somehow Koston ended up as the thumbnail....lol wtf is he in like every video.
@3:49 haha ' how the fuu....how are we gonna skate a pentagram?'

Basketball and Bats???
now ive seen how they made my board
@DannWalker LMFAO, I was actually going to put that as a comment xD
2:11 I dont see many people that play basketball going around showing kids how bats are made. UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH what!? O_o
all the potheads on the roof not even skating lol
Song?
Now i can see why decks are $50+ a pop. when i was a kid i was like "50 bux for a piece of wood wtfuck?!"
@eliteskater08 Rowley's from the UK, give him a break.. they only have soccer over there
He sounds a lot like david beckham.
Paul Schmitt Stix
totally agree here!
but girl boards are just to good looking to skate imo xD
gravettes hat says WEED.lol
Did he say Basketball bats!??
almost skateboards are the best !!
@eliteskater08 nope heard it to
@RaabBlog same here LOL
I'm hoping that you meant baseball.
I think if you play basketball with a bat you need to knockout at least 5 teeth per quarter
2:52 damn xD
@DCjamez how is making money bad ? give me one valid reason
Fuck yes this is hilarious!
...there is a ball and a hoop for basketball...
nice dude
Battle commander!!
So 7 pieces of thin wood pressed and sanded then spray painted costs me $50?
yeah. you have to buy the wood. import it. treat it i various ways not shown here.
Then the shops gotta make money. taxes need to be pay etc. we pay 100 $ in europe for a pro model.
your in europe. Im in san diego where this wood is pressed, painted and distributed to shops within 30 miles of Black Box and within 90 miles of schmidt. And decks are not being made with candian maple or rock maple but now they're from china and mexico.
I played baseball, i would never swing a bat that was from mexican or chinese wood. same for my decks. bought a 29$ Blind team deck, my baseplate cracked on a flat ground tre
In Russia 100 bucks for a pro model as well. Been lucky for the last couple of months though, toy machines for 55 - 65 bucks!

+thepyromatt lol
holy shit who else is about yo go look at vids of the pentagrahm now
I dont like their single press mold :(
Isaiah Semilla agreed, it's antiquated. I already don't like the P2/kevlar idea, but, if this is the way Flip is still making their boards, I'm out. Each board should be pressed individually, so the kicktail angles and concaves stay consistent.
taradead DO you know a better press to press individually ?
+HelmetVanga dwindle presses boards individually but, it's not a PS Stix shape and the wood isn't that good. Although, I've heard really good things about their impact boards.
dwindle does do single deck press and they are popsicle stick shape and they use top notch wood they actually have more sales than flip
This isn't the best comparison. If you compare a brand to a distributor it's not the same measurement. Your comparing the sales of Blind, Enjoi, Almost and Darkstar, to single brand. They're wood feels pretty dead and the impact stuff is nice and helps with the durability but their boards still feel old. But to each their own, this is my experience with the brand.
"I conquered you, you piece of shit. " Geoff Rowley.
2:42 lolz
i met shuriken hes tight as fuck!
Well he's kinda right.. You don't see people from basketball showing kids how bats are made. lmao
3:50 F BOMB XD
yea rode one of my friends boards that had one and it sucked meanwhile skateboards are good
Oh YEa !! Windowseat !
David gravette!!!
what if you made a board with 10 pieces of wood.
sick
5:22 dude, zero were in it
The way they press multiple decks at the same time is dumb dumb... The deck that's on the bottom of the stack will have a different shape than the one on top, which is stupid because then you will get a different shape on your deck even though you bought the exact same model.
