Just saw that Enjoi posted this video and then I remembered that creature recently did something like this. Is this a possible new trend? What are your thoughts?

It grabs my attention but, I don't have the tools and will probably mess up or just skate the unshaped piece of wood

Seems like kind of a hassle and easy to mess up. Especially if you don't have power tools

It must be a conspiracy to pass off the costs of board production onto the consumer...

8.38 x 32 not a lot of wiggle room to experiment. seems like enjoi just wanted to put out a square shape and kill 2 trends with one board.

I just imagine a bunch of borderline regular kids watching these videos and actually using a hand saw to cut these things.

I did this to make a cruiser for my girlfriend. Found a template online and modified it in photoshop.

It came out great, actually. Sawing with the jigsaw is easy but the sanding takes forever if you do it by hand like I did.

Check it out. I've since put some fatter wheels on it, but you get the idea.

These kinda remind me of those big boards Gonz was riding for a bit.

I always wanted to try one of those.

Cairo skating Lacoste shoes is the real highlight. Also who's the dude at the end?

In my zeal to find something to put 215s on, the deck looked killer. Good company, I originally coveted the Ricky Winsorhttp://assaultskates.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=460

There used to be a company that advertised in the mags in the 80's-90's called, "Lake Skateboards." They sold rectangle blanks. The idea was to cut your own shape.

I don't want a board I have to make myself. Same goes for Mexican food. I don't want to put that shit together. That's why I came to a restaurant. Why would I want to pay the same price for something I have to work for? Life is so hard sometimes.
