Anyone know where Send Help decks are made? they used to have made in the midwest stickers so I figured Quincy was making them but not sure.

There was video on Prof Schmidts insta and one of the machines had a print out on it that said "Grizzly (Thank You) instructions"

April is probably BBS

Kind of. Alien has used BBS exclusively for the last couple years but Habitat changes woodshops. Different series will use either PS or BBS. The recent NASA series was PS (great shapes as well) while the C. Harper series was BBS. I *think* they at least have entire series/drops that utilize one wood shop, unlike say Hockey who will have 3 BBS and 4 PS decks per drop, which is quite annoying.

Thank you so much. I keep eyeing alien boards because they have some shapes on 14.125 wheel base and I really want to try it. I had a habitat from  nasa series loved the nose on it.

I still can't wrap my head around the NASA shapes, so odd but kind of interesting.

Does anyone know the woodshop that BLVD / Stereo uses? I used to love the boards from Status back in the early 2000s and I remember they were distributed by Syndrome. Great concave and snappiness, even though they were felt slightly heavy.

 Not sure about BLVD, but I skated a Stereo a few months back and I'm pretty sure Prime was pressing them at the time.

OP list has Habitat under Jart for EU pressings, is this still true/relevant? I've had a fair few boards out of Jart and they've all had solid shapes, my friend picked up one of the Habitat NASA boards and this shit has one of the weirdest shapes I've ever seen. 8.5, nose is very big and square very similar to Hockey boards but the tail is ultra short, kind of squared off almost and there's zero concave on the thing. Like you set up for a 360 flip back foot in the pocket and it's just flat, feels like standing on a fucking table.

still true at the moment... Hlc presses boards for habitat but this might change soon

i don't get the rest of your post.
HLC makes boards (for Jart/habitat/sour/etc.)
Jart has its own shapes / molds
Habitat too

edit : op can be a bit misleading.
HLC is the mother company (distribution / production / etc.)
Jart is a board brand

[Reed Richards]

So I just got an email back from Theories of Atlantis and it's official, Hopps is of Chapman, on Generator.  They said everything is bonded at their Long Island warehouse but with Generator wood.

Does anyone know where Shorty’s gets their wood these days?

could i get an updated list of what companies go through who? for example polar, palace, killing floor, dlx, toymachine, girl, zero, alltimers, hotel blue, fa/hockey, quasi, alien, isle, doomsayer. Im working at a skateshop and want to organize our boards by maker

[close]

reach out to the reps, make the list yourself, and share with the thread. You have more access to this information than most!

Sorry for the lack updates.

Just got back onto to slap so I'm going to need to go through the entire thread to update for you guys.

Hopps hasn't been done through Chapman for a while now. Chapman couldn't keep up with orders and I'm not sure what brands they're even pressing at the moment.

I like both woodshops, but the Hopps 8 and 8.125 shapes through Chapman were perfect.

Strongest board I’ve ever had.

[j....soy.....]

Chapman and generator are very different boards...

I thought I read that as well. And it makes sense, as that seems to be primes niche.

Anybody have a skateboard cafe board? And where to get? Seem very sold out.

Madness and New Deal need to be added underneath Dwindle (DSM)

Can you elaborate on the differences?  I haven't had either one.

who makes Sour in the USA? or are they imported? any good?

[Sativa Lung]

i've heard that quincy might be going out of business after messing up a few orders this year.

anyone know more about this?

Their core business seems to be shop boards and blanks so I don't know if there would be too many big orders for them to mess up other than Folklore Project/Stereo and I dont know of any problems with the supply of those boards, but I'm not exactly "in the know" either. 

On the other hand, Terror of Planet X has apparently already gone away from Quincy and used Generator for the run of their new decks. I guess they only did a small run of the Graveyard graphic (and 1 or 2 others, I think one was a split open robot head one iirc) on quincy or something which is why that one showed up in some shops before it was up on their site. Apparently all the ones up on the site now are Generator including a rerun of the Graveyard graphic on their wood.

Does anyone know the woodshop that BLVD / Stereo uses? I used to love the boards from Status back in the early 2000s and I remember they were distributed by Syndrome. Great concave and snappiness, even though they were felt slightly heavy.

I dont know what they used back in the day, but from what I understand the Syndrome brands are pretty much all done on Quincy or Watson. Quincy is a newer shop so maybe it was Watson?


TL:DR; My previous report of Terror of Planet X being on Quincy now was incorrect. They're using Generator. Also the new ScumCo logo decks are Pennswood (and the fade/gradient logo ones are gorgeous) but the Pro models are still Control.

I don't know if you're interested in putting smaller brands up but if you are here's a couple that I know of

Pennswood: Troika, Play!, DNA, and they did the Trident deck for Street Plant

South Central: Super 8 (except for the Tie stick which is Pennswood)

Nice CSI work, the Watson website is dated 2006 and talked about Fibrelam boards, the ones with wavey texture on the underside of the board.
