The first boards were honestly kind of sick. Americana, Little rascals, sandlot, badnews bears, nostalgia. That would have been a sick direction. I think it would have worked for well for american boy Sheckler. But nah, lets quit Plan B to do Plan B at home.

Dang, i was really chomping at the bit to get one of Ryan Shecklers new pro models from his self owned board brand. These graphics are definitely the ONLY reason why i wouldnt get one. I'm devastated......

isn't that spiral a spitfire graphic? Having skateboarding as a skateboard graphic is weak

OK, I THINK the tiger is supposed to be wearing some kind of samurai-esque helmet, but for the longest time I kept thinking "Why is that tiger wearing a cowboy hat?"

These just look like all the lazy and generic tattoos you see everyone has full sleeves of now.

 I just wish I was back in 2001, riding blank minilogos.

Truly insane you use one of the most recognized logos in skateboarding on an unrelated skateboard product in this way. I would think Spitfire would be within their rights to take legal action here.

these graphics probably work in a department store or sports good store setting. Don't think shecks is aiming for some trendy deck brand.

For the record I think the first two graphics on woodgrain look better, a little bit. Still not something that jumps out at me. An 8-10 year old probably digs the lion or swirls though. I know what I think my kid would like
