Two Manufacturing questions

cother2 — Wed, 08 May 2013 19:13:05 -0700

I have looked all over the Internet and cannot find the answer to two questions:
Why did skateboard companies change the hole pattern for trucks on decks back in the early 1990s?
When did skateboard manufacturers switch to heat transfer graphics?
Thanks for any answers you have. I love this site!

Need deck advice for an 8 year old.

My Daughter just turned 8 and has always shown an interest in skating, she's a girly girl...but has a strong tom boy sense in her. We liken her to Punky Brewster, she's not a "tom boy" per se, but she loves her Chucks.....she designs them online, usually a combination of skulls and flowers or zebra stripes. She LOVES hockey, especially her Bruins. Every day she tells me she watches the highlights of the game on the NHL channel in the mornings before school. She likes riding on her knees on my boards and has shown an interest more lately. So I figured it was time to get her own board and let her try it. I figure it's a good opportunity for Father and Daughter time, plus it will give me more time to get back into some more regular skating. Enough of the background.

Today we stopped by the skate shop, I needed some bearings. We bought her some pads and a helmet and looked at some boards....obviously graphics is a factor. But she's a small kid, so size is important. We saw some Blind mini completes, but she didn't like the graphics. She really liked the blank decks they had, but they were 8.25 x 32"....too big for her. I would love to keep her in the PP family....even though I'm not riding one right now. I was looking at Mini-Logo decks, but even the smaller ones seem too long. So I'm looking for a deck, either complete or I can build her one. I'm thinking 7-7.5 wide, and would like a sub 30" length. Blank would be great, she could do her own thing on it. But something with "cool" graphics would work also. I thought about the PP mini completes, but I don't think an "old school shape" would be best right now. Any suggestions of companies or hopefully something under the PP banner that would be good for a small kid?

BB T-shirts?

SK8ER — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:40:50 -0700

Skateone list all the BB t-shirts as "slim fit". Why would they make t-shirts for a mostly 30 and over group slim fit?

I started a new thread because the old Mountain thread threw a malware alert in my browser due to links to Skatesonhaight.com...

Anyway, cross this one off the bucket list - it was essentially my holy grail.

Vallely Elephant Reissue

ChrisAK — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:02:04 -0700

I have managed to procure a couple of the Vallely Elephant decks from 2011 in the red color way. I noticed on both of them, there seems to be some discoloration/fading around the edges where the red is much darker. However, there is no "C" stamp on the deck or nothing else to indicate that these are defective. No warp either. It seems to only be on the red decks, none of my others have this problem.

Anyone else notice this? Thoughts?

Does the Powell Peralta team really ride the 8.5x33.5 decks?

Johnophean — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 12:11:08 -0800

I have been wondering this question for a while now...

Do you think guys like Chad Bartie, Josh Hawkins and Jordan Hoffart skate the standard Shape:181 8.5"x33.5" -15" wheelbase decks Skate One makes?

Or do you think they are skating shorter custom Skate One 8.5" decks?

I ask this because as much as the Shape 181 deck is a great bowl/vert board, but I feel like they are a bit too long when it comes to street skating and smaller mini ramps.

On the street doesn't it seem like it'd be a bit too long for the flip wizardy of guys like Jordan and Josh?

Any thoughts?

Anyone know where i can find a Bartie skull deck?
