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.
Let’s get a link to product and zine info.

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.

Feel like Killing Floor is highly rated (yet to hear a negative thing about they) but underexposed.


Hmm interesting take. You might be right.

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.

You're on the right track kid.

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.

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

The “J” sounds like “sh” in Frog

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.

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.

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.
