The Killing Floor. They’re like Quasi but not full of themselves

Okay.

The Killing Floor. They’re like Quasi but not full of themselves
They're a good company for sure, but they're no Quasi, come on.
-
Polar is a super underground company literally nobody's ever heard of
-
Feel like Killing Floor is highly rated (yet to hear a negative thing about they) but underexposed.
-
I always dug Black Label and Lucero's artwork...I don't necessarily think they are underrated but they are not as big as they were back when Label Kills came out
I always felt Black Label was like Zero but maybe more blue collar
-
jart skateboards.
- everyones go to board brand in europe to grab when on a budget.
- the shapes are totally fine
- noone judges you for skating it. its like skating a blank but knowing you somehow support a skatebrand while doing it.
- they are around since forever and don´t seem to go anywere. pretty solid imho.
- they keep a low profile so noone has the desire to cancel them for whatever reason.
- noone knows anything about them. like whos on the team, if they ever had a video... . and noone cares. and its totally fine.
maybe jart is the only skateboard company that did everything right. maybe they are the like least obnoxious brand.

I just recently learned that I’ve been mispronouncing their name for the past 15 years.

traffic.

Not necessarily “underrated” but i like what visit has done. Kinda like expedition towards the end.

They are very big in Europe
Plus they have a big woodshop in Spain where they print a lot of Euro brand decks
And if you want to see some Jart full length videos:

Mark Frölich is really underrated

I found a Politic deck in the discount pile once & really loved it. Great shape & graphic, landed my first 360 flip on that bad boy.

Politic. From the art direction, riders, decks. Quality shit

This is a good one. But I agree that traffic is underrated and hopps is too. Politic and scumco are good calls. All of them have good wood, cohesive aesthetics, great teams, and great videos when they release them.

Label is like zero except the riders were allowed to have actual personalities.

There’s a company in Australia called Four Skateboards. In my opinion they’re so much radder than Passport/Hoddle etc.
Casey Foley and Louie Dodd ride for them. They both rip and do cool stuff outside of skating. Louie Dodd does a lot of their graphics I think and Casey makes great skate zines.
The wood is good too.
-
Burger Boards orwhatever the name was on the add banner above before the wheel candle add that's up there currently.
Seriously though, the correct answer is Natural Koncepts. End thread.
Scumco and DOA are great to me. Gotta love when a company owner sells you a flat as duck out of his own stash when they had none listed in their store. If Carpet wasn't highly rated already, they could get the list too.

What happened with Hotel Blue? They came in hot and then just fizzled. Maybe that's just the way I see it.

I know they're still putting out product, but I was referring to their momentum as a brand. Again, maybe this is just how I'm seeing it, but it seemed like they were on an upward (marketing) trajectory, had some rider turnover, and then were no longer on that trajectory.

I buy Casey’s zine, FORM, from my local shop. But just go on his Instagram. I don’t have social media at moment.
Here’s a link to 4.

Hmm interesting take. You might be right.

Traffic
Killing Floor, put Garrett on fully.

If you asked me this last summer I would have said ScumCo and D.O.A., but it seems like they've both been getting some well deserved recognition lately. I've been seeing a lot of DOA decks popping up on here and the latest Scumco drop sold out in hours, then restocked and sold even faster the second time.
So I'm going with Apocalypso and Bop Shop.

So you are telling me that JART in fact is called SHART!?
that makes so much sense ;D

This may be a copout but it literally has to be decomposed, because basically Rodney by himself will always be underrated. They could put a solid diamond statue of him on the moon and give him Mars, and he’d still be underrated.

Man, they are the blandest, most uninteresting brand in skateboarding. Like if someone that never skated made a board brand with all the stereotypes possible. I might just ride a Darkstar tbh. So wack.

Plan B and DGK!

Ayo, for real though, my buddy has that whole series on the wall of his recording studio. Beautiful stuff, that Western Edition.
-
Carpet Co because they can't be rated highly enough
-
DGK by slap's standards. That team has been sick for a while.
Actually, I'll go a head and say it, DGK has been dope since they first came out.

the new alien workshop is dope actually, should get more recognition imo

I know most of you hate Zero these days but I’ve always been a fan, they’ve got a really solid team to this day and I thought Damn it all was a really good no frills video, it wasn’t trying to be hip or trendy it was just good solid skating.
So my answer is Zero.

you basically confirmed what I was saying.
but the difference is tho:
if you ride a darkstar, people will be like: "yo what's wrong with him, he is riding a dark star"
If you ride a Jart, People will be like: "let me try this trick a few times, after we can play a game of skate. I may have pizza later, you in?"

I agree. Gnarred.

I only saw two people say CARPET COMPANY so far. So I’m just going to leave these two decks they’re about to drop that they hand screened.

im too drunk and high to scroll through all the pages and check every post.....has natural koncept been mentioned? i also think bones wheels are overshadowed by spitfire........grocery store brand vodka is pretty underrated too, just found out the plastic bottle crap im drinking is made locally.....suddenly it doesnt taste as awful for some reason.

Another vote for SCRAM
And Skull Skates for legacy.
