Nothing for sure yet, still searching some ideas... any recommendations other than a bottle nose McGill, Hawk, Mullen, or Guerrero guys??? Anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller......
Probably a new Ripper, Skull and Sword, and hot rod color scheme.
I like that Blind Ripper just make some shapes like it or the skull and sword but in 8.5 or 8.75 widths and wheelbases between 14.5 to 15 inches. The 9.2 and up sizes need only be in the re issue classic shapes. Yeah the ex graphics are cool I just like shapes like Welcome Skateboards and a few other companies are doing
^ DARULE - my first board was a Vision Mark Gonzales - I believe that was 4th grade.. 1985 - 1986?? It's all pretty hazy at this point. That's when I started skating, I went through periods of my life when I skated more than at other times, but I have always had a set up since 85 or 86..
and yeah, THE McGill IS LOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGG Over due.
Oh yeah, mos def the snakeskin McGill....Guerrero.......Mullen....Mountain FP....Vato Rat..... Sorry if I sound like a broken record but I'm sure we're all in the same boat. Oh yeah Hawk as if I had to say it!
"Blind ripper would be sweet.How about the Ban This Cab dragon and Jason Ellis Aussie flag plus another run of the Welinders. "
man i been wanting that ellis aussie board ever since it came out! including the wheels i would be stoked as popcorn if that came back out! i think some moses itkonen decks need to come too..moses doesnt even have pro models out now (his last board sponsor was skull skates after he got the boot from powell but i havent seen any moses boards out for a few years i got 2 brand new moses viking "brigade" boards still in the shrink wrap) so im sure he would love a easy pay day 2010 is the year of change so lets see some mid to late 90s reissues
Hmm... Jason Ellis would be a cool idea. He could really pimp it too on his show, and he seems up for a quick buck too. I bet there would be some interest there.
Brigade_bill - I skate new school street boards too, but I can't go below 8. I never really skated with anyone who uses a 7.5 (well, anyone over 5 feet tall - no offense of course!).
Yeah I've been skating since 84 or 85 but I ride modern shapes with dual kick. I do however like some shape to my pool/vert boards but still in 8.5 or so range. My biggest issue is I don't like trucks over 149's the feel to wide when grinding.
