anyone else fixated on how your paint scrapes off your board? i find myself flipping my board over constantly to see how the slide marks are coming in. i can't be the only one, can I?
post your scrapes

as you can see, I'm pretty heavy on the slappy noseslides. its my lil warmup before my legs will let me ollie, so a dozen or so when i first get to the park.
the tail is pretty messy. i'm trying to re-learn back tails, and i'm still being a pussy and not committing, as shown by all the 45 degree marks
i tried to keep the "forbidden 14" intact, but couldn't resist a few lipslides
-
Going from the serenity of regular front nose marks to the insane scars of those from slappy noseslides really set me off, so I relate
-
Great thread idea. Makes me miss SFB
-
My tailslides suck, I can get up there but I'm lucky to slide a foot before my muscle memory just turns me back out. I'll occasionally ride it backwards and do some longass noseslaps on the tail just to make it look more balanced.

I relate to this on a spiritual level.

No I can’t tailslide :( but I just learned switch slappy noseslides (kind of as a joke, to myself, as I bemoaned my shitty frontside tail marks.) But they’re fun! I made a promise I was going to F14 my past two decks but I keep blowing it.
-
My tailslides typically fade out quickly too because I never lock in correctly. I just do 5-0 to tailslides to keep my morale up. I tried to find a picture but I usually only take them when the deck is fresh.

i feel the beginning of another great thread...

Smith grinding my buddies wood box has fucked up the rails of my board. Kinda like the look tho.

I love this thread! I’m the same way, constantly always looking at the marks on my board and trucks. Kinda hard to see because it’s a blank, but there’s enough transfer wax/dirt to get an idea. Board is an 8.38 prime blank, definitely on its last legs.
-
I feel like this little piece of history is a good way to show how my boards used to wear.
Hardly been anywhere since covid besides my ramp, so there is almost no wear at all on most of my current setups.

Excuse the poor collage. Some recent boards before and after that I remembered to take pics of.
Usually try enforce the forbidden 14, but after a few accidental violations its open season. I do like smith grind marks on the side though.

The forbidden 14 = so good!
Yeah it was funny when that was a thing, even with some people getting so pissed that someone else scratched the middle of their board on purpose when they weren't looking.

I’m torn. On the one hand, I get the aesthetic appeal of the Forbidden 14. On the other hand, I still think boardslides on ledges look cool a la Chico Brenes in the Love Child video. Or, Tony Hawk’s street part in Ravers. I think he did a handful. Used to be a thing.

Oh yeah board/lipslide variations are so fun and look perfectly great. Its just a matter of how it makes your board looks if you care about that at all. My go to spots don't have anything thats super fun to do board/lipslides on anyway but its always tempting. I'll usually try go at least the first week without doing them though.

I feel this! forbidden 14 is usually adhered too but yeah sometimes I'll do nollie bs disasters on the little quarter pipe at the skate park and once it gets going, I might start hitting the flat bar

Makes me so happy to know I’m not the only one who sits and examines my board for 10 minutes. New favorite thread

Love this thread...ill post some pics soon. I love looking at my board after every boardslide and see what I’ve done.

Haha, I remember he eviscerated some poor ding dong that floated in here and posted a setup with really gross slide marks. I believe he told them they should be ashamed of themselves, haha.
But yeah I’m a total freak about that stuff. I have to immediately get some nose and tail slide marks on a new deck and I am constantly checking the bottom of my board out.
I’m super sensitive about my tailslide marks too: I get bummed if I see a bunch of 45 degree angles and swirlies on the tail. If I’m lucky enough to have some nice laser beams along the baseplate, my whole body feels like the tip of a penis and the world is one big microwaved fifi. I’ve never been good at them, so evidence of some nice ones are like a little badge of honor.
This is all super petty and vain, but whatever. You all get it.

That is so good!!!
I recall seeing maybe a video of dudes boards like this that they took over the life of a few decks, which was so cool to see how they were used and how long they lasted. Cannot remember where now, but I know a few people have some videos like this.
Put in the effort and time and it paid off!

Thanks guys! Happy you guys like it, not enough people appreciate something like this. I actually have another one I did of a baker board a long time ago too but I don't like it quite as much

Great marks as always.
I really hate having a Christmas complete, IDK why. So when I get new trucks I'll always put them in a used board and skate them for a bit before setting something new up.

Thanks. Yeah I totally get that, the only thing worse is brand new trucks on a really dusted board and shrunken dirty wheels. I haven't had a brand new complete in a while. Why get used to everything when you can adjust to one component at once.

I get some unsightly lip marks on most of my boards, missing smiths will do that. Got lucky with this one heh, and was mostly skating a ledge that didn't work very well for smiths so avoided those.

Polar boards with the white paint and color bottom plys look so good. I’ll have to dig out my old one that had blue coming through like pontus’
-
This one, more so for the cool colour change fade in the bottom veneer, than how well it was skated - just crusty no wax or minimal slide kind of spots, so more just impact than any long slide marks.

Looks great, love the color difference between nose and tail. Love the look of a colored veneer coming through on lighter colored boards. Especially love blue and magenta bottom plies.
Am I the only one that hates natural bottom plies?
Edit: here’s my current set up, need to work on doing more tail slides.

I hated the blue meanie with 54mm F4 classics so I set it up as a cruiser but switched the wheels to 55mm Spitfire OG Classics and now I love it.
Trucks are Stage 8s (I think) best turning trucks I've ever owned, they are the ones with 159 hanger width but 169 axles.

Some very tasteful marks. But I’m more interested about typing Vietnamese on Facebook.

Just finished my first ever twin tail, never going back.
Been waiting months for new ones to hit the shops so i rode it as long as i could. Finally got the next one.

I've the same one. Posted it earlier in this thread. The best feeling and looking deck I've skated in a long while.
I've another on the way in the post with some ace 44s. I'm running thunder 149s on it now.
How you liking it ?
How is it with Ace trucks ?
Please say it's good because I bought them specifically for this deck haha

this board lasted about a week and a half before I cracked the nose on a fs shove on flat, skated it two more sessions before another fs shove took the nose out for good.

I absolutely love it, and that's coming from someone who's been skating sub 8 decks lately. The tail seemed small at first but my shitty skating abilities were not any shittier than normal today. I will definitely pick up another one of these bud.

I like to avoid the 14 until I mess up some grinds and dirty it up anyway. Then it's free game. Lipslides are too fun to avoid.

They are also only illegal on ledges. Rails and transition are fair game. Still not going to stop bs lip sliding ledges though.

Yeah that thing is nuts!
Sure did get your moneys worth from that one and it is the sort of pic I would love to show kids who would come in complaining that they have a bit of wear on their trucks and need new ones, when usually their trucks are not even a mm down or barely grooved.

Right?!?
“Listen kid, you either take them down to the axle, or you take it back outside the door to my shop! No wimps allowed.”
Seriously though, I’ve been into the axle on one set of trucks for a while now, and they’ve never ground better; they feel like magic. Kids may not be aware of the fun they’re missing out on.
I’m not content to just expose the steel though, I’m presently trying to “cut them in half” by grinding them to a point that they fail structurally. Been a little while since I’ve actually pulled that one off.

I recall seeing one guy who had machined off the dipped paint on just the edge of his Natas special which looked amazing.
And I get what you are saying too, shows wear and life, etc.
Fully dipped decks look a little too new and funny to me.

Looking good! Im hoping to have my current set up look like this. Gonna stay off smiths, as that's what usually leads to me just saying fuck it and going for lip slides.

I have had about 8-9 R7s in the past few years and every time I have skated one they all are very consistent. The pop is solid but has a slight springiness similar to a PS deck but still feels strong.. I also am a chubby old guy (38yo 210 lbs 5,10”) and I skate low impact but land hard on certain tricks so i will get a deck soggy in 2-3 weeks of skating daily. Sorry for rambling! Lol hope this helps ✌🏼

Not sure about this one in particular, but I had a BDK black dipped board last year and that was one of the things that bummed me out about it, no stained plys. I used to love natural bottom plies, but now I don't care for them.

Current one, same BBS 8.38 shape. A week of solid skating.
Kept a pristine forbidden 14 (sans smith grind marks on the edges) til I found a perfect double sided curb the other day and had to violate.
Can still distinguish the different crook marks from the nose/tailslide ones which is kinda cool.

Edit: found it. "De Vleeshal" series from summer 2001

Oh my God
Thank you !!!!!!!!
Just wait, this gets even crazier. I thought this board looked familiar, I recognise it from this video:

Looks like Nate Denver (friends with Enjoi crew and has a song in Bag of Suck) owns one, too. You can see it on the shelf behind him.

That one looks good with a bit of wear.
I was almost tempted to find a curb or something and almost wipe the graphic leaving the embossed look on the white one like that from a couple of years ago, especially with a darker wood stain as the bottom layer.

The paint actually started to wear away completely. You can see the embossing but it’s all just green

Yep, nose and tail wear are very clear in the full size pic (from the link) which I went to check out.

Early 90s when nose slides were the big thing and crooked grinds were just coming in, some of the super rad dudes made it a thing, the EMB crew or others, I cannot remember, but it was all about the nose or tail, not doing boardslides at all.
Still more of a weird funny thing than anything else, and I guess a bit more of a laugh today than anything, but if you look at what people were skating in during that era "big pants small wheels" I think that would answer most of the questions, even if the forbidden 14 outlasted the BPSW era for a few years.
On another note I saw Native has new boards and they look pretty good, via instagram.

I guess it’s just bragging rights, like I’m so tech I don’t have to do board/lip slides (which I’m definitely not) haha. But there were several times I felt limited at certain spots and I dont like that feeling so won’t do it intentionally again.
Think Maybe there is another Native board company out there? This one is my buddies brand out of Charlotte NC last I spoke to him he said it would be awhile before he got new boards due to product delays. Where’s the one you saw new stuff from? I’m curious

Actually it is a shop, Native shop in the UK - thought you were also there in the UK along with Richard too, hence the mention, but of course it is not the same thing.

@tzhangdox do you do tons of crooks regs and switch? Slappy ones? I'm trying to wrap my head around your Ventures and how they look like drumsticks that got ravenously chewed on. Fucking rad.

Yeah I do, the one I can't do on curbs or ledges is regular front crook. But I flip my trucks around regularly to make them last longer so it evens out. Pinched 180 nosegrind variations also hit the same spots.

Beaut'. Leaving a spiritual gnar

This setup was subjected to one magnificent double-sided curb sesh, during which I did a few fs 5-0 to tails, then made like 3 attempts to become decent at boardslides before slamming on my surgery hand. Then I got the flu, and took it out for one more sesh when I thought I was recovered enough to skate, but ended up only landing 1 unpopped tre flip and a few slappy noseslides and fstails on this rusty metal edged ledge, hence the knife like scratches on the nose. I'm neutral on this graphic but I really like the scrape distribution on it, and the story is pretty unique.

^ Sick set up Dale. How do the rails skate set up so close to each other? Does it make boardslides dicey?

I don't really have any problems with it. I've skated my rails all different distances and i like having the height they provide me when they're close. Makes popping out of boardslides on curbs a little easier

If you have photoshop it's pretty easy. If you were looking for a free app, sorry, haha
Shoot photos as straight on as possible, contrasting background color is helpful. There is a setting on iphone where you can see a grid and crosshair in the center of the shot, I used this to shoot things dead on. I also tried to shoot my photos in the same location and time of day so the lighting was similar, but ended up photoshopping things a bit to help consistency.
Import photos into photoshop. Use "Object Selection Tool" to select, then mask out the background (this is where the contrasting background helps). Stack each photo as it's own layer in a single document, with the first image at the bottom in ascending order, and align them as closely as possible. Delete any unnecessary layers.
Then go to Window>Timeline. and in the window that pops up click "Create Frame Animation" There you should see each layer as a frame in the animation, where you can set the timings. Each frame can be set to 1 second, looping forever. Then go to File>Export>Save For Web. Save as a Gif (around 1000px wide is good). And that's it!

I always had a ton of respect for those kids in middle school who would show you the “scrapes” on their board as a way to prove they actually ripped.

I love the way a minimal graphic/stained backround looks when fresh, but they're pretty lackluster after they've been skated. Just doesn't get the juices flowing like a colored bottom ply peeking through does.

Works okay if the bottom ply is a lighter color like orange or yellow, harder to notice with darker browns or greens. My Chico Krooked is looking great these days.

It’s not really noticeable. At least not much different visually from the 144, but I am skating 52 classics so if you’re running a larger wheel you might notice it more. The added stability is nice because I feel more relaxed standing “between the wheels “ rather than feeling like I’m standing right on top of them, ( if that makes sense).

luckily there's still plenty of life in them, i tend to skate trucks until i find they're inhibiting my skating - this is usually when the axles get past the point of rethreading. still have yet to lose a truck to complete structural failure though i was damn close on a set of thunders once. i also like to tinker a fair bit and go through multiple bushing setups so i can find what works best. i just threw in the bones hardcore blues and also stopped skating risers for the first time in around 6 years, that combo is working pretty well, so yeah when this set is dusted i will probably grab the same pair/bushing combo. may try and pair them up with a 14wb 8.5 too, i've heard that's a good combo.

Retired due to razor tail. It was fun seeing the scrapes reveal the embossing. Red bottom ply isn’t my first choice but it does make the deck look kind of “bloody “ which I guess is fitting for the Scrape Report.

This deck is almost perfect for me (I have serious madness regarding deck specs, for me, the tail could be like 3mm longer). If you like BBS decks and a 6.58 tail with a 14.25 wb, that is good. A little bit under 32" long, more like 31.9". Oh and 8.25 width.
And I am really used to BBS decks and this is one. They always last me a good while and they very rarely break for me. Next on the line is a Magenta, also in 8.25

Dark stains + scratches always look the best for me; it’s subtle but when the light hits it at the right angle!

Retired due to razor tail. It was fun seeing the scrapes reveal the embossing. Red bottom ply isn’t my first choice but it does make the deck look kind of “bloody “ which I guess is fitting for the Scrape Report.
I have a fresh 8.0 set up waiting for the sun to come out (red bottom ply, too). Really cool pattern with the scrapes and debossing. Lots of ledge lipslides?
I wish! Mostly boardslides and fakie boardslides on a pretty wide double sided curb.

Even better. My favorite kind of curbs. Glad I have some cool-looking scrapes in my future.

2 weeks in, nothing forbidden here. happy to have hit axle on the ventures.
luckily there's still plenty of life in them, i tend to skate trucks until i find they're inhibiting my skating - this is usually when the axles get past the point of rethreading. still have yet to lose a truck to complete structural failure though i was damn close on a set of thunders once. i also like to tinker a fair bit and go through multiple bushing setups so i can find what works best. i just threw in the bones hardcore blues and also stopped skating risers for the first time in around 6 years, that combo is working pretty well, so yeah when this set is dusted i will probably grab the same pair/bushing combo. may try and pair them up with a 14wb 8.5 too, i've heard that's a good combo.
are 14wb 8.5 boards common? I want a 14wb 8.25 board and that's hard enough to find

Some companies bring out a lot more boards with shorter wheelbases than others, so it can be very brand or woodshop specific.
Pennswood woodshop has a number of 14.0 wheelbase board options that some people ride regularly from Slap.
Some boards from DLX - Real, Antihero in particular have shorter wheelbase options, as well as some boards from Santa Cruz / Creature, a couple of shapes from WKND or other PS Stix variant in 8.25 with 14.0 wb I think, April decks have shorter wb, just for starters.

Finally got a session in after a month of waiting.
I’m surprised that Toy Machine used a stained bottom ply on this price point, considering a lot of their pro decks that come through the shop are natural on the bottom right now. Pop is good and the wood seems pretty solid.

I just got a stack of used boards from someone I know and a few are so smashed on the angle like this one (but way more) so I was wondering what trick was the culprit. Pool skaters used to have something similar only more even nose and tail wear, so I was going with either pressure flips or impossibles, so at least now I know.
Interesting how some tricks that can be so fun can also be so destructive to some decks or other parts of boards.

Forbidden 14 is the most confusing movement. I get not being into lip/board on ledges but basing your skating around not touching the middle of your board is stress inducing.
-
it doesn't induce any stress for me lmao I just like keeping the middle graphic area clean especially if it's a good graphic and most of my stickers are placed anywhere besides the nose/tail. I do a lot of bs smiths on ledges and I do get some contact, but I don't think that violates the forbidden 14

Holy shit! That’s awesome! And those wheelbite marks are crazy too. Do you only change your wheels when they’re bearing covers or how did you get those to be so long? :o
-
thanks! Regarding the wheelbite, I have no idea. that TKF board was set up with a new set of Ace 44's and some 55mm OJ's. The Ace's were replaced a few weeks in with another set of Aces (qc issues), so maybe broke in slightly differently? Really have no idea, probably due to the amount of time it was skated too. Ended up replacing the OJ's with 52 F4's so I think the wheelbite will be less severe this time around.

Im pretty proud of the slide marks on the nose, really went hard with the crooked and noseslides. Boardslide marks are lacking and the Tail has 5-0 marks but no tailslide marks.

As soon as I seen it at the local I had to get it. Had it on the wall for about a yr or so before skating it. Didn’t think I would but times got tough and needed a new board desperately.
Cheers, on their last legs as the axles have a slight bend now but they’ve had a good life. First pair of trucks I’ve hit axle on.

How do some of y'all scrape nose/tail but a considerable distance from base plate??? Genuinely curious. Balance slide so ur baseplate doesn't touch???

In terms of space between baseplate and slide marks ( at least for me) yes Thunders. Lots of curbs as well which depending on the shape of the curbs may also affect placement.
-
Rounded curbs and ledges will do that. I skate Aces and my baseplate never touches with 54 mm wheels. I should probably skate some sharper curbs. ???

I’ve been skating a rounded curb a lot lately and noticed this happening on all my boards
-
Yeah, round curbs will do it. Had a quick session on the new twin and did a few FS tails on a manny pad that's bordered with rounded curbs. I also try to not slide on the flat of the kicks and only on the bit where it starts to curve up.

I kinda dislike wheel wells. My boards that have them always get weird cracks around at the thinnest part and it seems impossible for brands to make them symmetrical. They're always uneven, which sucks for someone like me who gets way too annoyed at little things like that. It won't put me off from buying a deck, but if I had the choice, I'd always go without wheel wells.

If that was any of the OG’s board, I’d be creaming all over that photo.
Such a sick lookin board.

The plain / natural boards do look a little needy from new, but with a bit of a scratch here and there they certainly look a whole lot better.
I checked back through your history, but didn't see anything else about that one, so what is it - a blank from somewhere specific, an unknown, a DIY blanking or what???
Seem quite a few plain natural bottom layers recently on my travels, so although I could guess, I am more curious to know what you got there and what size it is.
Any which way, it is looking good.
* I got my hands on some good 8.5s here in AU recently that look like this, which is all the more reason I ask.
-
That board, like the other dozen I have sitting around started out as an Enjoi, a quick sand and some clear coat and this is the result.
In fact thanks to your Eagle eye deal hunting at Aussie skate shops I snagged another 4 Enjoi boards on Monday which I will sand the panda off too.

Yeah that did come up well.
Some of the other ones I have taken back to bare wood were a little more average, but I have also found a moderate supply of other blank 8.5s with stained top but blank / natural bottom I have been coming to terms with, but still not sure if I will skate any myself.
Others who have them often paint them or find something really dirty / waxy or whatever to session soon after setting up so it looks a little more "normal" right from go, each to their own I guess.
Glad there are still some options to pick up cheap boards as well. Get em while you can on that deal. I feel like we are past the peak of those boards now, but who knows - still could be some good deals here and there with more of them going on clearance if some shops are just sick of looking at them, or end up getting more to get rid of with these other sales coming up.

trucks and wheels since june 1st
deck since oct 1st 2023
(https://i.imgur.com/oDFG2WY.jpg)
this setup I don't skate as much but I have been running the board since aug 17th 2022! the wheels and trucks I got ~2 weeks later. i put the rails on ~June 1st 2023. I have another one of these eggs in the wrapper still I am going to set up in April because I probably won't need it much over the winter.

I've been skating this board since June - I would have moved on from it but Chicago winter has me out less, and it's just so perfect. Considering grabbing a few of this generator 8.25 magenta shape since they're on clutch wood at the moment.

How can someone spot the difference from BBS to Clutch wood if he has a few Magenta decks laying around?

To my knowledge they've been generator up till the last drop - Both theories and alltimers have been using Chapman (and thus clutch). Though I did just hear Josh on a podcast today saying he loves generator wood and the theories boards are the same shape as magenta so it's likely temporary. The main difference is the barcode on the packaging, and I think almost all generator magenta boards are the dark brown stain (unsure with the chapman/clutch boards).

None of the 5 Magenta decks I had/have are with this dark brown stain. I will look at them tomorrow and can post top pics. In the meanwhile, I suggest we ask @Woodshop

Cha ching!!!!!
Ha no but I actually saw this and was going to reply on my normal account, but thought I should use the Woodshop account more for board related things like this anyway.
So between all the various Magenta boards I have had come through my hands, they were all brown stain, like Passport, until the pandemic, at which time they started coming out in various stains, still on BBS, but then a few of the boards didn't feel like BBS concave, so it was a little weird, or maybe from different molds within the BBS facility, but I didn't confirm this with anyone. They were different dimensions / shapes too, eg usually 8.5 x 32.3 with 14.5 wb, but the other ones were 8.5 x 32 even on a 14.38 wb.
I didn't skate them, but the most recent boards I got were all team editions, but all blue bottom stain and orange top stains, super steep too, on BBS wood, so that is my experience.
That is here in Australia, so it could be different in USA or especially overseas somewhere else like Europe.
As to identification, if they are ungripped, BBS would have a dimple type dot between the front bolts, whereas Clutch would usually have a letter and number stamp into the front bolts area, often covered by a size sticker. If they are already gripped, then it is harder to tell, but I feel like BBS has way more of a spoon concave to the kicks, whereas most other woodshops don't have quite that much spoon to them, mostly flat faced kicks really, but some have some concave across the kicks as well, similar to but not the same as BBS does.
Hope that helps.
* I should update the list if people say they have Clutch boards. I know there was a short run around 2021 that was most likely Clutch, but couldn't confirm it. Copying this to the Woodshop thread too, just to have the info there as well.
