A laser guided jigsaw and some good ideas for shapes are all you need! These uncut blanks are available pre-drilled as well. Pictured is the 9.5 inch by 35 inch uncut blank available with a 14 inch wheelbase. Picture courtesy of SkatePaige.
Dude, I remember going to my local skateshop in Nebraska as a kid and buying one of these. I think I actually freehanded a Hosoi Hammerhead shape by looking at it in a magazine. The hardest part was getting the holes drilled in the right spot! I remember my board kinda weeble wobbling back and forth, but I loved that board...probably because I made it myself, drew all the artwork on it and laminated it too. Cool to know you can still get these!
I'm relieved that they are available pre-drilled now. To create and ride something of your own is the best. I can't wait. The possibility of shapes is endless. And they are very affordable.
“I don’t want to see a Frito’s commercial with a skateboarder on it. It’s not in the spirit of skateboarding. We’re not supposed to be in the limelight. We’re supposed to be the scuttlebutt. We’re not supposed to be heroes. We’re supposed to be zeroes. If we look good, we look bad.”
