This was my first attempt at wood-burned graphics. I started with a single-kick blank from Madrid and cut out a very-square shape. Then I wood-burned some custom graphics, starting out simple at first, and moving to more intricate as I progressed. The results are below.

Then I added some Madrid Thumbcutter griptape, a retro Cadillac / Fly Wheels kit, some Bat Rails, a Powell-Peralta tail bone, and a random nose guard from Ebay. All plastics are held on by authentic Powell Rat Nuts (hard to find). The result is a tank of a board that barely turns and is fun to ride in a way that makes you wonder how the heck pros used to ride junk like this, honestly. It's a challenge to ride this like you would a modern board. Best suited for wood ramps, I've found. Feels slow in ditches, have yet to take it to a skatepark bowl or pool. Note the quad-tone wheels.
