THE TRACTION HAS BEEN MOVED

this is my first attempt at any sort of artwork on my board. Let me know what you think. I tried to keep the design pretty simple.

"drop skimmers not bombs"

its not the most legible thing but it was a try.

[Joey Peters]

ur back pad is too high

but i like the artwork..did u use paint pens?

[conCeptRick]

ha thats ironic one pad is dakine the other is OAM and they both like match perfectly

[Chrith]

yeah, back pad is high and i dont really get "drop skimmers not bombs" other then that it looks good

[jewbacca]

ur back pad is too high

but i like the artwork..did u use paint pens?

edit: thats what i was about to post.

[Walruz996]

Back pad is high.

[Noodles]

yeah, back pad is high and i dont really get "drop skimmers not bombs" other then that it looks good

it's "drop skimmers not birds" which makes even less sense

[skimmerdude12]

yeah i agree. i like the plane though lol

[bunkerking692]

i just put the back pad where it was comfortable. but yeah i used paint pens

[Joey Peters]

it's "drop skimmers not birds" which makes even less sense
it's "drop skimmers not boards"

it says that under the last picture

[Noodles]

it's "drop skimmers not boards"

it says that under the last picture

ohhh, i looked at it for a long time too. haha, now i see it

[jewbacca]

it's "drop skimmers not birds" which makes even less sense

hahaha noods, i forgot u had the handwriting of 4th grade school girl.

[bunkerking692]

um its "bombs" not boards, or birds....

whatever its easier to read in person

[DanTheMan]

wtf does drop skimmers not bombs mean?

[bunkerking692]

dropping bombs = war

dropping skimmers = run, drop, slide

[Derek Makekau]

dropping humans out of a plane would be far more demoralizing than bombs.

edit: oh you mean like skimboards? i've always said "skims" to abbreviate skimboards. skimmer is usually the person participating in the sport.

[Chrith]

dropping skimmers = picking up a skimboarder and dropping them. the same way youd drop a bomb but much less effective

[bunkerking692]

its not an original quote, i got it from the old maui i inherited

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c160/speedosquad911/002-7.jpg

grammatically it doesnt make much sense but, its more or less a tribute to this old board that finally broke

[Teddy Hartford]

i just put the back pad where it was comfortable.

well move back and then get comfortable to it there.

[jewbacca]

personally, u think u shoulda stayed with the maui ive always wanted one.

[bunkerking692]

i loved the maui, but the thing is over 15 years old, it just fell apart

[jewbacca]

oooooo

[CaboWabo]

Your pad. It's too high.

[CustomKO]

Drop boards , not bombs FTW

[bunkerking692]

Your pad. It's too high.


thank you, you are the 100th person to tell me.

[shiznit]

your pad is to high.

[SskimC]

on a roush, that little hole in the back of the stomp should be over the surftech symbol

[king.kevin]

Back pad is high.
you know what else is high............:o

[bunkerking692]

on a roush, that little hole in the back of the stomp should be over the surftech symbol


i know i have realized that. i dont wanna pull the pad up again until i get some super glue. so hopefully before this weekend

[Derek Makekau]

maybe he turns really early guys, geez.

[The Dtrick]

he didnt want to stick the pad over the decal on the bottom!

[UmmmmIdk]

I would think that it relates somewhat to the "Bomb hills not countries" from a Sector9 Bomb Hills longboard.

P.S. Your back pad is wayyyyy high bro.

[bunkerking692]

people have told me about the whole sector 9 thing. and im curious who came up with the saying on the bottom of my maui board/ sector 9 first. cause the maui is pretty dam old. but who knows.


AND I AM CURRENTLY MOVING THE TRACTION SO EVERYONE PLEASE STOP TELLING ME.

[derc a der]

boards sick. rep'd. i had trouble with paint pens. the paint would just ball on the board and wouldn't stick. did you sand first or just get rid of wax and paint away?

[bunkerking692]

i talked to eric roush first and he said it was a necessity to remove all of the wax, and then sand the board, it the only way the paint will stick. four coats of clear gloss later and it felt pretty friggin durable

[smallspeed]

yheaaaa eric

[Bobbynic]

I like the art a lot,

But it makes as much sense as this poster below. . .

[bunkerking692]

lol thats the beauty of it, it doesnt have to make sense

[scskimmin]

ya once again... put the back pad as far back as it will go......too late, whatever

[MI_Skim]

drop boards not bombs

[bunkerking692]

here ya go everyone. i moved it as far back as i could without any of the traction hanging off the edge of the gradual curve towards the rail.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c160/speedosquad911/001-5.jpg

[WOODOO]

Now its too low. Put it on the nose.

[jackie]

yeah i know it tricky w/ roush's i have the same problem w/ my pad

[Foornyay]

looks good! how does it not make sense, you guys are thinking about it too much

[Foornyay]

ps backpad's too high

[scskimmin]

better, i got my back pad almost touching the surftech logo.

[bunkerking692]

better, i got my back pad almost touching the surftech logo.


i just wanted to avoid having any part of the traction hanging off the beginning of the curve towards the rail. i would rather have it a tiny bit high, and not have it start to peel up

[thatkidandy]

i like the artwork!
personally i like more simple artwork on skimboards so this is cool!

[derc a der]

drop babies, not bicycles.
