echoing early requests for a re-issue of Bomb Hills. you know it would sell out...

They're owned by Highspeed that's how they can get away with the bomb hills not countries shirts and that's why Slap didn't make them for their pals

Difference is though the GX1000 guys can actually skate, and the decks havent been resanded.

I want one of those Bomb Hills hoodies but not looking to pay $80 shipping. Wonder if any Canadian shops carry them. Couldn't find any at the 10 or so sites I searched tonight.

If pressed by PS Stix:
Full Nose and Tail: yes (squared almost as fat as current Hockey/FA on BBS, shorter tail though)
Steep kicks: not really (for reference, Hockey/Fa got steeper kicks)
Rather Flat Concave

Boards are kinda like (), wider in the middle (not eggish though)
Wider around front trucks than around back trucks

Didn't see the ones made by BBS yet

If they’re using the same shape as quasi on bbs like they were on ps stix(dims look the same) then the 8.5 is pretty much identical to the ps stix version

What is up with the crotch on those pants? The picture makes it looks like it’s 75% crotch and 25% leg. Who needs that much crotch in a pair of pants?!? Why do all skate pants have insanely long crotches?!? I do not understand this trend but every brand that makes skate pants uses a 12” or longer front rise. It’s insane, nobody needs that much fucking crotch. So much extra unnecessary fabric, why?? End rant.

It can also restrict movement. Maybe it just looks better than with a lesser rise? Skateboarding is roughly 32-74% fashion anyway.

I bought a GX board from my local a couple months ago and it was sick until it cracked in the middle from a fs disaster. I lost a ton of weight and am not fat anymore, too. So I emailed for a warranty and they never replied. Then I went and bought the same board so I hope it doesn't happen again :(

I've been wanting to get a pair of those Dimethyltryptamine Forest Green Cords for a minute now. The patch is pretty sick on those. Wondering how they'll compare to Polar 93's since those are like one of the comfiest cords I've owned.

That brown Bomb Hills Not Countries hoody looking good too. Love me a brown hoody.

Also a lowkey dead head so the steal your face/no microdose also looking good.

Skating on LSD is one of the best feelings ever, especially bombing hills. I feel so in control, so spatially aware when I drop.

I don't think slamming is that bad while tripping as long as you don't seriously injure yourself. LSD for me is a lowkey performance enhancer. First time I ever dropped back in 2011 I spent the whole night bombing hills in the dark. Highly recommend.

Also as BBS only kind of guy, stoked they made the switch from PS Stix.

.

I think there was something a while back that they were going to keep using PS Stix for some boards and BBS for others.

Same with Quasi - out of the same place anyway - but some of their riders wanted BBS but others wanted PS Stix.

Could be a bit funny then if they don't have top pics or other info from online sites, but PS Stix always has the serial number on top, BBS does not.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

The dudes rip but it doesn't change the fact that those cartoonish graphics are laughable and just so, so off brand. To me, they're really confused because GX is such a gnarly company with skaters who do fucked up death defying shit, but then the board graphic is this

Like whose homie has been allowed to put this shit on their boards, and why are they still allowing them to do so?  I don't understand.

There's no crying in baseball and there's no refunds in skateboards.

Cool that they’re on BBS now, but bummed it’s all the same wheelbases as before. I can’t do the 14.25. At least 14.38, and I would be sooo stoked

Heres the link for the ones on sale

https://gx1000store.com/search?q=scales

Mostly that series, and then the Jeff Pro boards

im a fan. I hated that first jeff carlysle decks shape but have grown to like it. The 8.5 may be my favorite though

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Skated the quasi 8.5 and loved it. They probably use the same shape considering they used the same ps stix shapes

Like whose homie has been allowed to put this shit on their boards, and why are they still allowing them to do so?  I don't understand.

Said homie is Joe Roberts, who does a lot of their graphics (the Micky Mouse DMT stuff and the complex intricate trippy stuff). It's a subjective thing but I really like it for the most part. I agree that that board graphic is kinda weak. Otherwise I find it fits the brand quite well, they're all very raw and gnarly, but at the same time have a bit of a 'hippy good vibes' thing going on. Maybe just cause they're by poor by default living in SF and they smoke a lotttt of weed.

What kind of graphics would be more on brand in your opinion? No shade, I'm genuinely curious. They've had some more edgy/dark graphics not too long ago, which were sick, but it was quite Hockey-esque. The Joe Roberts stuff is a bit more original in my opinion.
