Is the board in the 2nd photo the one that was stolen, or is it just a new board with the same bindings?
If it is the stolen one, how did you get it back? I can't stand thieves. I would have "killed and grilled" that asshole if he had stolen my board! :laugh:
But that's why I use a lock. A Bell bike lock with a key, so they can't just snip it with pliers like the pocket lock;, although mine still does fit in my pocket.
damn new hobbies, already spending money when I'll probably only go out once more this year :icon_scratch:
Looks so much different from 3 weeks ago. Got the Ride Delta's for $65 new, crazy difference from the Burton Freestyles. They're a PITA to unlatch when they're real tight though. Can you apply grease or something?
[edit] figured it out.. the hinge on the latch sucks so you press in with your thumb to get the extra leverage.
Here's my board. I just took the photos from the setup thread:
I have a lot of the dogfunk stickeys. I've been wanting to get some free stickeys from companies via mail but couldn't really be bothered in the end. I was in Zumiez the other week and they were selling all theirs for over $5.
I said "please! Ain't nobody got cash for that!" :laugh:
I also did this to my front highback:
Now people on the lift behind me know where I'm from. Marvelous.
This is what my board looks like now, just picked it up this season (Ride Buckwild 2013) and the thing is a monster.
Now here is what I want it to look like in a few weeks. I've got a printer that can print vinyls so getting the stickers wont be a problem. I printed the to-be stickers onto regular paper just test out how they'd look.
If i do say so myself, this is definitely one of my best sticker jobs to date.
i love the graphics on my Evo so much that I cant bring myself to put stickers on it...except for one smalllllll Obey sticker right after the Evo letters that youd never even know was a sticker lol
instead i went fucking crazy on my helmet haha
(dont mind the weird pics, i was seeing how the new splices looked lol)
That's awesome! I've been trying to put stickers on my helmet, too, but every time I try they go on all messed up because of the curvature of the helmet.
How did you get yours on so clean? :icon_scratch: Looks nice! :thumbsup:
It's weird I know but ever since I was little I loved stickers and I used to put stickers on everything.. Basically it just takes alot of patience .. The Oakley symbol was the hardest to lay flat but I just kept peeling and resticking. The actual lettering I just put on one letter at a time and tried to keep the spacing and curvature even.
So I just cut the sticker into pieces and then jigsaw it back together on the helmet? That makes sense because less space would mean less bubbles and creases.
Actually I kept it all as one piece , I just bent the paper backing and placed each letter one at a time, though cutting it would be just as good . There is one tiny crease in the Oakley symbol also, but physics didn't really give me an option lol
I stickered the shit out of my truck.. And my girlfriends truck also. I'm relentless lol
Def lmk how it works out for you though man I wanna see pics
It's a Bern Baker..I personally love it, super light and I like the little brim.. The only other company I'm debating trying is Sandbox cause I really like how they look lol.
Sandbox helmets look nice, but the one thing I don't like about them is that they don't have audio compatibility like Bern and some other brands.
I would stick with Bern (as long as it's EPS and certified), because they're insanely low-profile and have audio pads if you like listening to music while riding.
They also cost less than Sandbox with just as good quality.
Right now I have a Giro Revolver in Gunship Grey. The only thing I don't like about it is that the matte finish makes stickers kind of difficult to apply, but they stick good enough.
yeah i was deciding between sandbox or bern. i personally dont care about the audio because i take the ear pads off anyway and wear a beanie under my helmet.
hahahah yeah. the low rider saandboxes look like a baseball helmet... almost like they would shatter if you nailed your head on the landing of a 35 foot kicker
actually I sized up because i also have a Bern Watts in medium that was way too tight with a beanie so when I ordered this I ordered a large..it seems to fit pretty perfectly.
New board. Just decorated it. Nice with the stickers.
Also, when people criticize or make fun of your sticker job, getting defensive and lashing out irrationally makes you look like more of a cook than your lame sticker job.
(Before he who shall not be named got all heated and crazy, some of the comments bashing his stickers kinda broke my heart a little. Even though they were totally valid criticisms in my opinion, I felt badly for him, but I lost 70 percent of the sympathy I had he started going at people.. It's ok dude! I still have 30 percent sympathy for you! Just try not to be a tool in the future! :thumbsup
Anyway, here's what I cam up with for my new grandpops:
