It is art, don't argue with me here. Is your sticker game strong? They make your board slide faster

I hate those people who put a RDS sticker on their car and think they're bout that life

I put a couple under my heel side wheels because I feel like it reduces wheelbite. That's about the extent of it for me.

Stickers just make wheelbiting more likely, common mistake. Wax works better

Sticker imply that I'm having fun with my skateboard and I'm not allowed to have fun cause I'm FUCKING CORE.

I started skating in 1989.  I can't imagine not putting a sticker or a bunch of stickers on my board.

thankfully i've always been friends with some people who are sponsored/flowed so through that i've collected a shit ton of stickers throughout the years. its fun to put a few on.

how true is the "incentive" thing really?

I like stickering my board, and I don't really mind paying a dollar or whatever for a sticker if its a brand I back. I'll always buy DLX brand's stickers cause they're all products that I genuinely like repping.

I'm a fan, i've gone from massive ones to micro ones usually under the rear toe side, so when i flip my board over its in the left corner and won't get fucked up and slid off, nothing worse than half a sticker and all the adhesive collecting dirt and stuff from the street. Not always skate companies, just things i like, those Seinfeld supreme stickers are a good example.

-remember the days when everyone was always like, "Theotis...he's such a nice & wonderful kid". funny.

-When it comes to stickers, I'm usually just a stickler for colors and how it compliments the colors of the deck graphic.

I usually have 1 or 2. But, some graphics are just too good.

Usually local shops or whatever I have around.  One thing I cannot do is put a sticker from a company that is not on my current set up.  No Girl sitckers when riding a Real deck.  No Lakai stickers when skating Emericas.

I usually just leave my deck sticker free, unless I get a good shop sticker or a spitfire sticker on the nose on my board.

I love doing sticker jobs, but the last few decks I've had have had really good graphics so I've been more minimal with it. Pretty much agree with the only using brands ON the setup thing except on cruisers. Ive used an Anti hero sticker on an alien cruiser and a TU sticker on a Santa Cruz, I didn't know what TU was yet but whatever. A superstition I've sort of developed is I cannot put stickers on a board once it has been skated, even if it wasn't skated by me, like a homie hand me down or whatever.

Almost always have a prize fighter sticker, a scumco sticker, and a theories sticker.

 I skate magenta boards but I love scumco also and I don't care.

Stickering a new board might be my favourite thing about getting a new board, even though it usually ends up being OCD as fuck and hating the sticker job by the time it's done.

Shoe company sticker has to be the shoes I'm skating at the time. Magazine and distro stickers are obligatory too.

Probably frowned upon here but I double rep shops on just about every board too.

Same here, favorite part of getting a new board. But I'm guilty of over stickering sometimes.
I like to rep shops (normally have two or three different shop stickers on my board), friends and the companies I dig even if it's not the same board co. It's all about stoke.

I only sticker if I have a Krooked board that came with the eyes, I love putting those on my nose so if I hold my board over my face I look like the Gonz drew me.

I usually put on some stickers from my junk drawer when I get a new board. I'll be pretty stoked on how those look, so a week or so later I'll add a few more and then I'll fucking hate looking at the bottom of my board until it's time to set something else up.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

in 20 years of skating, I've never put a single sticker on a board.  Mostly because I don't trust my own judgement on placement haha

I do appreciate a good sticker job though

If I have a Spitfire sticker I throw it under the right front truck (when the board is upside down), and sometimes a local shop sticker somewhere on there. That's about it since I can't find any Indy stickers.

I used to cover the nose of my boards with a million of the same stickers of whatever shop I was supporting at the time. Lately, though, I haven't been putting stickers on my board, simply because a lot of the time after I'm done skating a board, I'll either give it to a friend or if it breaks / I end up breaking it, I'll sand the graphic and paint on the board. Getting stickers off once they've been slid over is almost impossible.

The last sticker job I did on a board, it was on a Real with the absolutely worst graphic I've skated in quite some time... the "go skateboarding 24/7" or whatever graphic. I had just happened to have skated a Mother prior to it, and threw on a million no more corporate blues stickers to cover the graphic, sanded off the little badge on the tail, and threw one of those circle stickers there instead.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this
