Slap's Board Buyer Club: VOTE OR DON'T

[JB]

Snack and The Northern Co. both got fresh drops that are worth supporting.  Can't say I'm feeling the "new" Traffic in the least out the gate, but maybe they will hit their stride a few seasons in.  I also wanna give Sleep some money soon.  Love their minimal spacey graphics....

Snack is pretty sick and I've got a local shop close by that sells their boards. I'd be down for them. Heavy would be a good one once their next graphics drop. I heard hopps is coming out with a bunch of new stuff soon too. Other than those three, here are some more off the top if my head that I'd like to try out:

Lurkville
Heroin
Hook ups
Roger

[CossRooper]

They just regrouped with toa in the last 2-3 months. Give 'em a chance.

I certainly will. It's just that there are just too many other small companies fully 'grouped and crushing it for me to buy Traffic at this point.

i agree on Heavy. i emailed back and forth with him recently, and he said there will be some shaped boards coming out too.

also down for Heroin.

Does Pennswood use smaller wheelbases? 14 WB or smaller.

HOOK-UPS

[CossRooper]

HOOK-UPS

That would be really, really sick actually.

Horribly inconsistent of me to say that after saying I wasn't backing traffic cause of their inactivity, but whatever. Hook-ups is pretty timeless, and doesn't really get much exposure or hype anywhere. I'd be down.

Shit how can you have any form of exposure when you don't have a team ?

Jeremy Klein IS Hook-Ups. You don't need any more of a team than that.

[Julz]

What about skatemafia ? It's not an underground company but it would be accessible for alot of pals and the team is filled with skate rats constantly releasing the best footage.

I dunno, I kinda just meant hype. I really meant that the brand isn't really out there like Scumco or some of these other internet-cult-classic type brands.

EDIT:

A few notes on the first round

There were 9 people who posted new Scumco decks they purchased Since January 4th:
Me
Art Hellman
HATE
SkateViolence
The Real Deal
YeahISaidit
Fullfill the Dream
Chumlee
BoyRobertOcean

And 2 others who posted their previous Scumco purchases: m477 and Soda Jerk.

Honestly, between that many people stoked enough to drop a half hundy on a deck, and all the info and discussion and hype in these four pages, I think this has been a real good idea. Not really a barnstormer in terms of purchases I guess, but it's kind of like a more focused version of that "Post your setup" thread but where we talked about the woodshop, how we got the decks, why we like the art, etc. I'm pretty happy with the first round; I think we should keep doing it.

yeah, and to those listed above, don't forget to come back after skating the deck for a bit (once the snow melts) and discuss how it did and other thoughts

would not be psyched on Hook Ups at all.

would rather see Snack, Heavy, Northern Co., Politic, Lurkville EDIT: Hopps, Western Edition,  as contenders for next round ... but to be honest, I'll probably be skating this Scum Co. until at least May

[Lance]

Same deal, should put a bunch of the names named up and take a vote (poll)  for a bit, and the winner is the next one....

[Morty Seinfeld]

on the next list, put Hopps and Western Edition on there.

[CossRooper]

So how does voting for the week from Feb 21st-Feb28th sound? Then we could call the vote on the night of the 28th and make the board club start March 1st and go for at least a month.

A current list of nominations:
Snack
Heavy
The Northern Co.
Politic
Lurkville
Hopps
Western Edition
Palace
Isle
Traffic
Heroin
Hook-ups
Roger

[art hellman]

^^^that's gonna prob be too early for those of us still buried in snow

should for Walter to make the final call on the next round (i.e. date/nominations) since this is his project

[dillanharp]

Quit trying to take Walter's shine Coss!!!!

[paraquat]

Traffic.

[Conan]

Heroin all the way. New James Jarvis series is sick

LOL! No way, it's his thread, I'm just trying to do some summarizing and get some discussion going. The shine is 100% Mr. Cronkite's.

I actually bought another one but haven't had reason to set it up yet.

I'd like Hopps for the next round because I've never skated one and they look tight.

[Stanley Spadowski]

Setting mine up right now.  Just posted this photo on Instagram and Facebook to get a little more attention to this. 

You should post a top picture(griptape) of this board. Also can you give some feed back on it? I've been thinking about getting one for regular skating, not a cruiser.

[waltercronkite]

Hey so I am glad everyones looking forward to the next round and im happy with where we are at with scumco because we started during the winter and for a lot of us that means snow. The northeast (at least massachusetts) has been dealing with a snow storm almost once a week since december so i havent really been able to do any real skating as i am sure a lot of people havent. I figured it would fare well with a lot of us to wait a little longer to start the next poll so we could let people get some real skating in and some real feedback on their scumcos but if i am being selfish and everyone else is ready to move on from scumco then i am down to start another poll consisting of all of the board brands people have posted thus far and maybe even a few of my own. Let me know what you all think and we can move forward with a better plan. Basically who here is still buried under snow?

[SkateViolence]

I'm in NYC and we've betting getting the same stuff.

[tangar]

im hoping to get my scumco tomorrow so my vote is for extending it. even if people skate through their scumcos they can always hop back into the club when you start your next poll.

[ALABAMAMAN]

Extend it! I've had a hard time getting the size I want at the shop. Getting one Friday.

[art hellman]

extend...buried in snow still...only get to skate indoors once a week, so haven't really put the deck to any real use yet

[waltercronkite]

extend...buried in snow still...only get to skate indoors once a week, so haven't really put the deck to any real use yet

we are getting more today it is insane, i am going stir crazy waiting for spring.

[tangar]

Hella psyched I got mine from DLX today, I'll post another pic when it's all setup. I'm in the car waiting for the baby to wake up from a nap so we can eat and cant resist posting this now.
