They're a good company for sure, but they're no Quasi, come on.

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.
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

I always felt their graphics were better than the brand ever was.

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.

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.
