How long does it take to carpet a deck?

Not long at all. I've only had 4 at the most to work on at one time, but I could easily do 10 at a time (which I'm guessing might take an hour or two total). if I was doing a different pattern on each one, it could take a little longer.
So given that I have all the supplies, a workspace, and ventilation, I could knock out a hundo over a really productive weekend maybe?
I'll try to include a little write-up of the process and some ideas or whatever with the board, so maybe you can get a sense of how I think it could work.

Its on!! We'll run a hundred. We'll make the boards, send them to you and you can work your magic and just send them back.  Going to Hawaii for a little vacay tomorrow  ;D But when I get back I'll call you and we'll work out what it will take to make this happen

seems like a lot of money to spend on shipping, and I have no idea how much the supplies are gonna run for a project of this magnitude.
Looks like I'm gonna have some math to do the next few days.
Short of those two obstacles, I see no reason why this can't happen.

Hope you have fun in Hawaii dude!
Oh yeah, and I'm useless over the phone by the way. I never retain any info that way, and I also never know what to say untill 5 minutes after I've hung up. I'm good face to face, or the written word though (I'll txt you my e-mail tomorrow).

and also, I am not opposed to making the trek out to Cali for a little vacay of my own, if that would make more financial/logisitical sense for this.

Yeah, DGK is doing a standalone project and Organika has to get some other things worked out first before we start thinking of a team vid.
Cant wait for the DGK video though, Stevie will have a great part!

For that trick the cats didn't effect me. But for certain kickflip tricks it took some time to get used to them. They were the best for tre flips though.

So about that LRG ad i keep seeing on the berrics...I always thought it was pretty funny how the height difference between you and chico changed dramatically.  But either way it was a nice ad. 

I wonder what it would be like to see you guys filming for that ad when you and chico are both wearing the same gear as your kids.  I'd assume it'd be weird because you guys actually resemble your kids quite a lot haha.  Do they skate together too?

Just saw Franck Boistel is designing for Praxis, stoked to see what's coming. Dude came up with some of my favorite Sole Tech designs- Creagers, Marc Johnson 1, Koston 2, etc.

Wonder how these Creager 2's would have looked in real life.

Those dudes did a great job on that commercial. I was so stoked to see our sons in that way. But they dont actually skate together because they live down south.

Yes! It is the best feeling to go thrash with your son!  My oldest was really into it for a bit but finds school activities more interesting and challenging. I dont push it on him but deep down inside I'd like him to take it more seriously.

Thats cool you started back up, too. I bet your son loves it!
