BΞΛΤΓΙCΞ Complete 🩵 Custom Commission for Hou 🖤 Hand-Painted Collaboration Graphic ✍🏻 w/ @conharmsworth ✨ Art hand painted by both Connor & I. Stoked to finally work on collabs with em! Connor created the concept based on requests & laid up the base. I came through with a sharpie & went crazy with pointillism & cross hatching, even slicing thin lines with a blade! Plus added vines & shrooms to the mix as requested 💭 Together we created a graphic that not only embodies our talents, but also goes beyond turning Hou's vision to reality! 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 A unique 1 of 1 build created from one of the three "Daddy Long L-Egg" Board Series. 36" x 9.125" Sym. Double Kick w/ Egg Shape. ONLY ONE LEFT of this shape, claim yours ASAP! 👀 🛹GEAR: @orangatangwheels 4President [70mm x 53mm • 77a] 🛞 @waterborne_skateboards 150mm RKPs, Insert Bushings & Black Chrome Built-In Bearings plus Skate Tool 🌊 @riptidesports Upgraded to WFB Canon 83a Bushings! 💥 @independenttrucks Electric Blue 1" Hardware ⚡ @yocaher_skateboards BLUE Glow in the Dark Rails 🌟 Color Matching Axle Nuts & ⅛" Shock Pads 🩵 We did plenty of testing to make this setup intuitive & responsive yet stable & predictable. The gear above was the secret sauce to make that happen! Big thanks to RipTide, Waterborne, Otang, SSD & more!! 🙏🏻 📖LORE: When @grimozias first saw this board shape he claimed one immediately! He put on all of his favorite stickers he'd been saving for something special! I precisely applied clear grip & we tested out setups to nail in his perfect build. Named after Dante's wife Beatrice, from Dante's Inferno, this custom had special requests🔥 Deer skull as the centerpiece, Junji Ito style, one of his favorite creators☠️ Flowers, mushrooms & vines surrounding. Somewhere within the name spelled out. Blue accents match the gear we picked out for a "Shiny Umbreon" color scheme (black + electric blue)🩵 Dark & shadowy, mythical & crisp. Added intense detail everywhere I could to show off my weird style. Even some silver raindrops going both ways for a reality defying effect. He was beyond stoked with the turnout, we're proud of this one. #longboarding #art #collab #skateboardingisfun #sk8

PHOENIX COMBO 🐦‍🔥 Designed for every spot Sean grabs, these Grab Grooves will keep him locked in. BS & FS grabs covered along the edge, Boned ollies & Boneless' nailed in. And nose grabs will be so smooth 🖐🏻 Sean rides goofy like me. After studying his grabs for a little while, I decided on this lineup: For the nose 👃🏻 Right Hand - Lucky 7 Lineup Left Hand - Quick 5 Lineup BS Rail ➡️ Right Hand - Upper Half - Sick 6 Lineup FS Rail ⬅️ Left Hand - Lower Half - Quick 5 Lineup Nose Grooves in my twisted TALON design, hidden underneath the board. The rail Grooves are a WRAPAROUND version of the CLAWED design. This combo I like to call PHOENIX COMBO 🐦‍🔥 Custom Collab graphic designed by yours truly 🧑🏻‍🎨 VHS' board design worked perfectly for this project. With the paint & graphic on top of color ply, this board bleeds with every scratch 🩸 This board is a stretched (32" x 10" | 14.5" WB) version of VHS Old School shape @vhskateboards 📼 Remember kids, the fakers may try to copy, but no one does it like the OGs 💪🏻 Can't wait to see this bad boy get SHREDDED! Made to fit you. Get yours 🛹 #allskate #skate #skateboard #customshape #handshaped #handcarved #skater #skateboardingisfun #unique #build #woodwork

CREATURE SHOWCASE 🧟📸 SWIPE 4 MORE!👉🏻TAP 4 SOUND!🔊 Basically a digital magazine photo op w/ video descriptions of setups & designs completely edited by yours truly 💁🏻 La Criatura is my showcase signature model so far, a replica of my modded @powellperalta Nicky Guerrero Mask deck of 5 yrs, but with a wider & longer nose + obviously lots more mods! So far it's perfect, I can finally retire the Mask @guroman68 🎭 Stained & finished to look like I jumped in the lake & yanked it straight from the "Gillman" himself!🧌 Featuring my signature "Webbed" Grab Grooves along the nose & "Gilled" Grab Grooves along the lower railsides for grabs & slides, locking in my fingers & reducing my need to grab grip🕸️🐠 "S Jawns" from @liljawns_rails are a perfect match to stay out of the way from the lower Grab Grooves, but come back to edge at upper railsides of the board. Every damn angle for grabbing is covered🐍🖐🏻 The Skull Basher from @waxowax is usually used on the nose, but it can work on the tail with the right know-how, just make sure you measure & test first! Looks too good!💀 Some add-ons & more coming soon, there's still some testing to do. But I'll have 3 more of these w/ a unique graphic created soon!🥼 ▶️ SWIPE THRU SLIDES FOR GEAR SETUPS & DETAILS: 🩶STREET BRUISER🩶 Old Bones Trick Setup • Ace Classic 55 •Ace Hard & Stock bushing combo • RipTide Pivot Cups •Bones Rough Riders 💚THE RIPPER🖤 Park + Slides | Rowdy Fun •Waterborne FIN SYSTEM (Standard Mode) •Indy 169s •Bones Bushings •Powell Peralta G Bones 🤌🏻 •RipTide Rail Adapter Bushing Combo ❤️THE NINJA🖤 Street + Commute | Fast & Silent •Waterborne Super Red Surf & Rail Adapters •Bones Rough Riders •Ace AF1 77 •ALL AROUND RipTide bushing upgrades @waterborne_skateboards @riptidesports @boneswheels @acetrucks With Qwik Truks I can swap setups in seconds.
