What do you guys think about Elephant skateboards?
« on: April 25, 2013, 09:13:17 AM »
I love Mike V and all but I'm wondering about these boards.   

Thoughts?

i wouldn't mind having one as a work commute\old school session board. and even though he's a kook, i still feel mike v deserves to get something out of skating so wouldn't mind supporting him.

Did Mike V not sign your t-shirt at a contest or something?

It's a little weird that he is embracing this side of skating that really he was never a part of.  When he was coming up he was thought of as super progressive-skating with Gonz and Natas, the first board that was close to what we all ride now, etc....and now he's this old school twirly board spinning boneless dude, doing stuff which he never did in his day.  I'd rather him bring back the barnyard board and run through graveyards personally, but whatevs.  Do your thing Mike.

Kook or not, his skating is a breath of fresh air. Hate on "gimmicky" skaters all you want, but every thing has been done to death, so why not twirl your board and do handstands if thats what you're into.

I wanna be surprised when i watch skating. I wouldn't personally get his board though. Maybe a Jason Adams

That Adams deck on the left is super rad. Was always super bummed when I was younger on missing out on buying a punk point. Still probably wouldn't buy an elephant though.

They're pretty much the modern update for "old school" boards. They have a little bit of a nose on them, but they aren't completely flat. I'm not too fond of the graphics. But that Adams board on the left that was posted is looks just fine.
I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Definitely try one out though! What's there to lose?

Jason Adams is getting paid  by them to ride a skateboard so I am not going to complain. I'm sure the boards are fine, PS Stix makes them.

This isn't the 90's anymore. ESPN, Nike and Mountain Dew are Big Brother, Es and beer. Time to slip into some comfy New Balances and head towards old age.

One of my best homies rides for them right now named Greg Valencia. I'm glad he's at least getting free shit.

So who makes the best rip off OG barnyard type shape these days? V-concave in the tail would be sweet but bet even the street plants don’t have that now?


Actually snagged an old elephant “circus train” model off eBay and it’s getting skated enough that I’m gonna need another....

Kinda feel bad ordering international in these times.

Had such a good sesh last night on mine. Something about a stub nose, steep kick, long ass wheelbase... 14 again.
