Well, this project started with getting a new board because I was getting tired of using a warpspeed-rigged Assault Frig for traveling only. Problem with having found just the right board is, that the style is probably not what you really wanna drive around. So I was thinking about what to put on there.

Then I saw This:



(couldn’t find the original tweet… or was it on slack only?)

I basically fell in love with that picture. As someone who likes hats, is wearing a hat and had hats on the previous skateboard I just HAD to love it.

The Plan is actually pretty easy:

-Buy Longboard

-Buy spraypaint

-print stencil

-motivate cat to do the work

*sight*

Let’s do it ourselves then.

Step one: Apply Damage white paint

Step Two: Apply sticky image

Step Three: Use cutting-edge technology to make white space invisible

Step Four: Apply Damage black paint

Step Five: Pull off the “leftovers”

That’s basically it. I’ve put on some clear paint to protect that stuff a bit. Put it together and it’s ready to undock again!

Here it is, assembled, fitted and ready to rock

Big thanks to Rixx Javixx for making this image and giving it to me in a vector format
