Back in business
I usually frown on taking care of personal business in public on this web site (I’m looking at you Neil!) but hey, it is my site after all, and I’m excited to be back in the business of screenprinting skateboards.

rad, but do you have a popsicle shape with 15″ wheelbase and 8.5″ wide?
Not a popsicle. Swim’s finisher model is a tapered popsicle with a 15″
Also of note, the Cold War production bunker is now the Cold War production lodge. Grover’s basement could be an annex for the Doug Fir. 🙂
nice! any pics of your printing set-up?
what did I do?????
Are those Nash sharktails??
Well, the graphic is, but not the shape.
Where could I get one??
sweet!!!!!
Nice dude! Lets get some in Toxic !
congrats. but i’ll never skate that.. i feel like a size king “queen’ but i don’t like to stand on anything smaller than 9”.
its about time. Are you changing the line up?
Nice work. Good to see you getting some shapes out there
Where is the link to Cold War onthis site?
C’mon,don’t make me have to google your ass!
First board I ever remember skating. Had metal wheels. It was my cousin’s and I ride it from the top of a block long sidewalk. Clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack…clack, clack, wheel slip.
I was probably 4 or 5.
When are you gonna get the S&A Online sales tapped? You need a webstore now!
Do you make a freestyle board?
er….. no. Unless you count a 7.75″ popsicle!
isn’t a 7.75? popsicle a freestyle board? LOL!
Isn’t all skateboarding freestyle?
Well,some people/freestyle board manufacturers consider that as true,yes.
what’s the length of this board?And is it limited to 100,like it says on the website?(which I had to google,argh!)
Oh,and one more time:The wheelbase is the distance between the axles,shame on you Cold War.
All skaters should freestyle, as in use the board as a canvas for thier own physical creativity. Skating should be about liberation and self expression- an attitude I don’t see much in kids these days.
So, technically all skateboarding is freestyle- I agree
can i get a hell yeah?
