Make: Online : Homemade Skateboard decks

Homemade Skateboard decks

Skate05
Mr. W writes - "I'm a retired industrial arts teacher in Santa Cruz, Ca. selling top quality, pre-bent, Santa Cruz 31" skateboard blanks to schools, youth organizations and individuals. Included are building instructions, skateboard pattern and a truck template. These skateboard blanks are the current Santa Cruz Skateboards PowerPly Ultra Lites (with all the concaves and bends) found in skate-shops. The decks have clear top and bottom plies with a stained ply in the middle. Graphics or art work can be done on the bottom if desired. There are no graphics on the blanks. These are the finest decks on the market and have the most strength and "pop" of any other decks." - Link.

I'm sorry... This is nothing but a lame add for a company selling skateboard blanks. For an article with information about kids actually MAKEing skateboards from veneer using a vacuum bag check out this link. http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25031

In fact, I think I'll submit it, too.

This isn't new - back in 1988-89 my friends and I were cutting our own boards from blanks and doing our own graphics - I agree with the above poster - just an ad for someones blank boards.
