Does anyone know if Theories and Traffic decks are made by BBS now again? I think they also came from a different woodshop a while.
It would be good to get some clarification on all of the Theories dist boards, as I think the list needs updating.
https://www.theoriesofatlantis.com/collections/skateboard-decksI had a few things come up in this from the search for THEORIES from this and other threads, but again, nothing certain for the current runs.
Quite simply, some distributors buy in a whole lot of blanks and do their own in house heat transfers to whatever wood they have available, on whatever sizes they want, so the same graphic can easily be on almost any shape or size they have in their warehouse. This doesn't exactly help for the list, if somewhere does get some from here and some from there, depending on what is available.
From the list of brands that come through Theories of Atlantis distribution, there were often three or four woodshops for the various brands, at one point being like this around mid to end of 2022, but I don't know what they are currently.
Dwindle - Evisen, Tightbooth
Control - Studio
BBS pre 2021 - Theories, Hopps, Isle, Magenta, Traffic, Picture Show
Clutch - 2021 Theories, Hopps, Isle, Magenta, Traffic, Picture Show, then 2022 Traffic, Picture Show
BBS (Generator) - 2022 Theories, Hopps, Isle, Magenta, 2023 maybe all the rest again
The shapes and sizes of this board look like the generic BBS / Generator boards for the popsicles at least in the 8.1 through 8.5 sizes, but that is not to say that they didn't get them made to those sizes through another woodshop too, as the Traffic board seems to be the same on listings.
