How do you feel about this? I'd ride it.

Also, the new Warhol series looks much better than the last one. To me at least.

The workshop has been coming out with some bonkers shit lately. I thoroughly approve

1.) Where are these pages from? 2.) This Warhol series does look a lot better than the second one, and maybe even the first one, but I really wish they would move away from Warhol. It's getting kind of old. 3.) I enjoy the fact that they are seeming to incorporate more graphics and series that remind about why I liked AWS back when I first started skating (granted, that was only like 8-10 years ago) such as the EXP series. It's way better than that uncreative run of logo boards in different colors for each pro.

Lame attempt at appealing to the 666 trend in my opinion

Love to ride Alien boards but the Warhol series' are always dipped which is an automatic no go for me.

Not really into cruisers.

It feels more and more like Burton skateboards every catalog.

I feel like if they wanted to do something like that, they should have done something a little more clever instead of just an upside down cross.

The last Warhol series was not dipped, only the first series were.

Yes. Hence "holy roller".

no more berra decks, he always had the best graphics so you'd have to buy it. Even though it had his name on it.

chumlee · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2011, 02:28:30 PM »

you gotta be at least 6 kinds of regular to buy a board with holes in the wood

skate switch for jesus.

Burton trying to get that Longboard money.

They do have potential to do it in a super lame way.
like this graphic

In Rasta colors, or paint splatter even

on this shape

Would totally suck.

Nothing wrong with dipped boards. It's a psychological thing. I can't skate them because I feel like it's smaller than what it really is. That's just me though.

I don't know about a board with holes in it. It reminds me of the principals paddle from middle school. That might date me a little.

1-the griptape sticks to the paint, which can flake off easier than a stain or clearcoat, resulting your griptape peeling up around the edges of your board, which sucks.
2-when the edges of the deck start getting dinged up, it looks like total dogshit.
