Say aah

In case you didn’t read the comments on the previous custom board graphics post, JF pointed out the Board Pusher website. They have a much better range of sizes and shapes and are skate-centric. I wonder how the quality compares.
More choice and a better price too.

This is kind of a cool idea, but I’m not sure if I should make a repro of the Sublime deck and sell it on ebay or do a Charles Bronson deck and reach untold levels of deathwish in the deep end.

I’ve played around with the site and it’s pretty sweet. I think I’ll order a longboard and a pool deck to see if it’s any good. I heard the printing quality is good and the decks too.

Give us a report if you order a board JF.

The quality is ok with the actual skateboard but the printing is not good but ok. But they have serious problem with delivering the goods to you. A friend of mine ordered 7 skatebaords from my shop and he is still waiting, 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!. I have sent them mails to correct this but nothing is happening. So be carefull with this people. Not a great company

To offer a counter to Roy’s experience (not negating his, just expressing my own experiences)…
I haven’t opened a store on Boardpusher so I can’t comment on that side of their web services. But I have three designs made at boardpusher and have had excellent results.
I find the print quality to be quite good. Resolution, DPI, image format, CLUT pallets, etc really can make or break a digital image in printing. But I had really great results.
Far as shipping time, it takes them about 4-7 days to get my boards made and shipped from CO to AL. Which is acceptable to me.
I find the boards themselves to be average, not great, not crap.
If I can get the greenlight from Kilwag (my boards are NSFW) I’ll do a feature on the end product.
