ss851680 ss851679 [gallery link="file" columns="2"]i love to make things. it isn’t an option. or something to look into. i like the whole process. from concept to refining, being anal, then manufacturing. paying for the manufactureing, and getting the final product. i love all these things. i AM the dreamer of the dreams. but sometimes i do things that are not mass produced or re-broadcast. in this cast, i made a OPEN logo board, one of a kind. never to see the day of bulk daylight. a one off for JL at project bushwick. i hate to sound all douche like. but i think 100% bamboo decks is the future. bamboosk8 is doing an awesome job of pushing things forward, and you will continue to see limited edition 100% bamboo decks from OPEN.

you see that banner up there? oh yeah, i’m proud to announce, that the first OPEN skateboard is available for pre-order. OPEN skateboards is a new company, focused on quality skateboard decks, great design, and hopefully unique style. our first board (the one avail for pre-order) is a hyper limited edition deck. it’s made from 100% bamboo, has a one color silk screened design, and is hand numbered. i have been skating on a 100% bamboo deck for a couple month now, and i think they are great. super pop, and it just keeps on going. oh, and it looks great. bamboo is a 100% green tech, as about a foot or more grows in a week. not the hundreds of years that canadian maple takes.
though look for our upcoming decks to also be available on canadian hardwood maple. a good deck is a good deck.

i know the updates have been lacking for a couple days. i wanted to update every day. specially during the weekdays! so heres the story. i have nothing done to post. all my posts are being worked on. things you’ll see soon. a rant on virgin galactic, a review of “better skateboard” wheels, updates on my records labels, skateboard sub label OPEN. including our first limited deck. made form 100% bamboo. (yet it still a street pill based board). so their will be lots of updates on that.
good stuff i swear.
