Sick alien collection above.  Would encourage folks to check out what they have currently.  Also they have number 7.75-8 decks again.  I mostly ride large but I have a 7.75 logo deck that is so fine (I think slightly bigger nose then spectrum).  On the wider side, Sammy Montano new shaped deck based on 93/4 shape is a pretty cool direction--  I just ordered and waiting to receive.

i think that is dyrdek's old shape? i would love to try one

@DISTANT RUMOURS  that stuff is sick! Abduction series especially. Seriously awesome work.

also sweet collection, I saw that Ride Everything 3 in there at the bottom and reminded me that I skated every single deck from Ride Everything 1 AND 2. I skated so much back then though that boards lasted me like 10 days. sick

Thanks @Frank!

Not sure why they stopped responding one of a sudden.

I was never pushing them either (far from it actually) and even sent them the artfiles. Completely for free too. I never asked a dime.

I guess Hill really thought my designs sucked, or they already were in rocky waters back then ...

Probably the latter when they were getting tossed around by Burton and the VCs, you should email them back with the old email and see if they're interested now.

@DISTANT RUMOURS your AWS submissions look really cool - like a touch of Charles Burns on the Workshop aesthetic
I always loved that Pappalardo frog board by Pendleton and the AVE Mindfield board by Hill
