sakura yosozumi for officially getting on the powell peralta team! it is about damn time! she rips! pat channita back on bones bearings w00t! also congrats to vanessa torres getting on bones bearings as well and chuck treece is officially on!
So I bit the bullet and bought a Bucky Stadium. I must admit the quality looks and feels better than a lot of SkateOne’s US made boards I have purchased in the last 5 or so years. Go figure!
OK the reason I asked is I saw this a few weeks ago and thought I would share:
This is the list Cliver posted on his Disposable forum a while ago, done to the best of his knowledge: 1. Mike Vallely / Matt Hensley 2. Mark Saito / Bucky's friend / Tony Hawk's first wife 3. Bucky's girlfriend at the time / Bucky Lasek 4. John Keester / Mike McGill / Tommy Guerrero 5. Sin the team manager at Airwalk (RIP) / Adrian Demain / Per Welinder 6. Sherilyn Fenn / Some Euro Team Manager / John Pearson (my best friend from stevens point, wisconsin) 7. Kevin Harris beaver / Steve Saiz 8. Bucky Lasek oriole / Lance Mountain 9. Tony Hawk / Ray Underhill / Ray Barbee 10. Sean Cliver / Ray Barbee rag doll 11. Frankie Hill / Todd Hastings / Bryan Ridgeway 12. Stacy Peralta / Craig Stecyk 13. Lance Mountain doughboy / George Powell / Jim Fitzpatrick 14. Steve Caballero / Salman Agah 15. Sean Mortimer / The empty seat that used to be Gabriel Rodriguez before he quit Powell / Paulo Diaz 16. Robert Kittela / Jim Knight
...for some reason I can't cut/paste pics on this forum anymore so if anyone can do it and post a pic of the deck it makes it cool to follow along
The obvious lie being told about what it is aside, would birch make for an ok deck? I've had pieces of pretty high quality birch plywood that seemed nice and stiff, but for plywood. Not sure how that would translate to a pressed skateboard. Also, sweetgum...no.
Wish the article said what kind of birch; according to the above chart it looks like sweet birch is about even with hard maple, but other species like gray birch are really soft. If they're lying anyway, I wouldn't assume they're using the hardest stuff-- more like the cheapest.

I split the board into 3 pics for clarity:
grosso and meeks
