BY Popular Demand

I’ve been tracking everyone’s feedback on facebook, twitter and the emails that have come in through this site… First of all –Thank you, it truly means a lot. And seeing that we are still in the infant stages of the launch of this brand I am tweaking things slightly and actualizing many of your ideas on this end because well, some of you just get it and have presented ideas that are completely valid. For instance, I initially thought we’d be selling more completes than anything else but you all have made it very clear that you are way more interested in buying decks and gripping them yourselves. So, the idea that all of our boards will come pre-gripped is definitely out the door. We will still do completes and offer pre-gripped boards but it’s apparent to me now that non-gripped boards will be the majority of what we will sell. Also… The Circus Train OG Board is one that has stirred up plenty of interest. And so, by popular demand we are now including a top graphic on this board that wasn’t / isn’t shown in our catalog (see below). Many of you have also asked about us screen-printing the OG Circus Train Board — Due to the astronomical costs of screen-printing I have decided against this. My thinking is, though I know many people want to collect this board, I’m not making collectibles… I’m making skateboards that are meant to be skated and so they must be affordable. Thanks and keep the feedback coming. — Mike V
