There's been a few of these plank boards over the years I think in the past it's been presented as a way you can cut your own custom shape.
I think alien and creature had templates included and enjoi had one with different patterns as the graphic.
Spray a graphic and put some small tassles in the corners and make your own magic carpet
I haven't seen any of those in a while now, so I wonder if they just don't have the interest any more, or the smaller board manufacturers and DIY people are doing more of their own, compared to buying uncut blanks anyway.
The "make your own magic carpet" idea is pretty cool too.
Waiting to see if someone actually does that - which would look good for an old King of the Road challenge type setup, maybe before it went to Viceland and got blown out.
Blast Skates did another run of theirs last year.
i think it just never really got off. aspecially since these days its not as hard to get your hands on uncuts for way cheaper than the branded stuff. especially like the creature one that didnt even have a graphic but you paid full price for.
Yeah that looks great - even rounded off the corners, double drilled, shape guide included.
Got it all going on right there.
The other thing I was thinking too is quite a few brands are now actually making more shapes and sizes, as it was fairly limited at one stage, but now there are so many more bigger boards, or at least different shapes, so more people are happier on something they can buy that is already the right shape and size for what they want, or close enough.
A couple of guys I know are all over the Scram boards now, but they were right into the buying blanks and cutting their own as no one else had anything like that, or at least not in any quality wood with reasonable availability too.
It is good to have options.
