gtame Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Nice, nice. You guys got any ideas on a good blank deck I could get? I'm tired of paying 60 bucks for a deck just becase it's got some paint on it. Has anybody done something pretty cool out of pure luck? The other day I f*cked up getting out of a noseslide (I pop out) and I did a noseslide heel out. I landed it so clean too, and it was all luck. It felt great. Ah sh*t, I got some Lakais, the Limited SJ3's, and they are great. Just as, if not better, than D3's (which f*cking OWN).

Have you ever heard of Hudson ?, Hudtech or something like that.Mabay it's just a British make,But whatever, it's £30 Here, Complete. With Hudson,you can get ones with paint or a blank one.They're both the same price. or if you just want a blank deck it's £10. Not bad IMO. I've been working on some sketchy freestyle stuff and some Jackass stuff. I've been trying to spin off the top of a garden shed on and oppostite bunker thing. Too bad the f*cking thing cracked.Good thing tho, I still have my newer one ready to skate with.

EmSixTeen Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 You're recommending Hudson? Those things are so sh*t that I would never have even bought or even rode on one whenever I started skating. They suck. In fact, they should be like.. Made illegal. gtame - Can't really recommend a blank deck.. The decks you get vary enough from shop to shop, let alone across an ocean. If you can though, I'd recommend trying to find somewhere that sells seconds decks, ones with graphics imperfections etc. It knocks hilarious amounts off an otherwise perfect pro deck.

Yeah, I've seen em both, and I got "Really Sorry" for Xmas last year. Get "Really Sorry," it includes a new video AND "Sorry" in one, plus special features. Good stuff.

Rufus Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Just spotted this topic. I can't believe you would recommend a hudson, as M16 said. Where I live, the local skateshop sells Unions and Speed Demons, both of which are good (Speed Demon = the better of the two). I would, however look out for a Southstar blank, they are good as far as I know.

gtame Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I got me a Powell Mini-Logo for 35. It's f*cking brilliant. The nose and tail are EXACTLY the same, so leaving the board with a solid black sheet of grip means I could get the same usage out of both ends, since I can't really tell the difference between the nose and tail. Oh, and it's got pop like a mother-f*cker. As for my other deck, I sold it to my friend. Say, pyro, how good are you if you really plan on getting sponsored?

Lord. Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 so it's getting near winter, i figure i'll start skating a lot more then. we're almost finished my friends mini. 4-foot, with a 5-foot extension on one side. we need to add the final half of the deck to the one side and it'll be complete. pretty good for some kids with no knowledge of ramp building.

I've been skating 4 years, I can do my fair share of stuff, but f*ck no, I'm nowhere near being sponsored. Also, don't skate to get sponsored, just do it for fun.. If you need to skat a sh*t board for a while whilst you save up for a new one, then just do so.
