Deck Brands By Woodshop and Location

[Ham Sandwiches]

Bump.
With people asking about who presses who's boards in the setup thread, I figure we should revive this thread.

Thanks man. Came across a 8.25 Zoo York logo deck at a surf chain shop that my friend works at and she gave me the heads-up that they're clearing everything out at 50% off.

I recently had a Zoo York board that was a chapman. Are all zoo boards chapman or just certain ones? Anyone know?

I'd like to know this too. I'm planning to sand off the graphic anyway so I don't care about that but it'd be nice to know if the deck itself is worth the investment.

anybody care to tell me what woodshop is doing habitat? my shop gets them now that they are under tum yeto, and habitat is all i skate ever since!

would be interesting.
at the time i'm skating the 8.125 with i think a 14.25 wheelbase

[Noble Experiment]

^^^
As far as i know TumYeto gets their boards made in two different places.
They're either made by Watson in the US or they're made in Mexico (by generator I'm assuming?).
Best way to tell is by the sticker on the top of the board. it should say where it's made.

[Spaced Cadet]

Anyone know who makes $lave now? I want to give them a try now that they aren't using black box or dwindle wood.

Exact same as before. PS Stix

A friend who works at a shop was tellin' me that US Magenta boards are Chapman now. I could've sworn they were Generator at one point. Can anyone confirm or deny?

[chickeneverymeal]

Chapman distributes Theories. Magenta is still made at Generator but when they are behind Chapman sometimes puts on the heat transfers for them. That could be what he is talking about.

Thanks homes, I think they just assumed they were Chapman now since they would get Chapman invoices, which makes sense based on what you're saying.

For the millionth fucking time, GENERATOR AND BAREBACK ARE THE SAME THING. Generator uses Bareback-pressed boards and puts the fucking transfers on them. They are nothing more than a print shop.

Damn dude... the best info in this thread suggests they are different woodshops both run or owned by Bareback. Larger orders for larger companies are ran through Bareback(Mexico) and smaller orders are run through Generator(USA). The determining factor being whether or not there was a Made in Mexico sticker on the deck, indicating Bareback. And I'm only speaking on my experiences on where distributors and company owners have told me their boards come from and none have ever said Bareback, only Generator and Made in USA.

Well then, thanks for the info. If that link was posted a few pages ago I must have missed it.

I want to get a small project going pretty soon and am looking for a woodshop that offers an 8.4 or 8.5 in a decent length/wheelbase (32.5+ with a 14.75+ wheelbase)

The only board I've been able to ride is the DLX 8.43 x 32.56 shape for the past few years...which sucks because there's a ton of other companies I'd rather support.  The generator site doesn't have a real comprehensive list of what they offer and I'm not sure if they would allow you to outright copy a deluxe shape anyway. 

I'd appreciate a reply from anybody with insight/experience. 

[JAesop]

Www.scumskateboards.com. Almost all of their boards are longer wheelbase, all PS Stix as far as I know. Even the 8.26 have a true 14.6 WB. Www.socalskateshop.com has some of the Scum shapes not on their site. They have an 8.4 w/ a 14.75 Wb, etc...
Don't know about small run stuff though. Most of the Pocket Pistols shapes have longer Wb too and they are all PS.

Any half decent woodshop will make you any wheelbase, width combo you want.  From what I hear though, most will want you to do a minimum run of 25 to 50 boards. South Central and Pennswood are might fan wood pressers.

[pennswood]

we print in house.
setting up screens for each color is a lot of work for 25 pieces.
but we can work things out to help get you started.
designing the art with fewer colors helps.

the different wheelbase and board length options are no problem.

Is the pricing sheet on your website up to date?

Saw an interview this guy had in kingshit this year I think, seems very cool, that Rattray endorsement is a hammer as well

[Rusty_Berrings]

Anywhere I can get a Chapman blank? Wanna check em out but don't want to spend the whole 50 bucks if possible. any USA woodshops sell blanks?

SoCal sells blanks http://socalskateshop.com/index.php?l=search_list&s[search]=socal+blank&s[title]=Y&s[short_desc]=n&s[full_desc]=n&s[sku]=Y&s[match]=all

and

Skatewarehouse - http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Skate_Warehouse_Skateboard_Decks/catpage-DKSKATEWARE.html

Might be worth emailing them to see who produces the board.  Honestly I have no idea so they could be China crap but they might be from a USA shop

[Xen]

I've reached out to socal about their blanks, no reply yet.

As for chapman blanks: http://www.chapmanskateboards.com/shop/

It's very possible that you could ask them them for blanks and not the ones shown.

Hammers (greco) is also USA made and screen and a 'blank' can be had for about $47

[Xen]

So-Cal blanks are made in Mexico!

[Rusty_Berrings]

Who makes 1031? Found a shape I think I'd probably like, need to know what the concave is like.
