Skateboard Designer

A look at how skateboards are made, with a little One Eighty twist at the end!

[@BeerSoldier]

Seing brand new decks like these makes me happy

[@Theninjadeathhawk]

that escalated quickly

[@serenityinsilence]

This gives me new respect for my skateboard. This seems like a super long process, and nice hand crafting.

[@haydenbennett8941]

Yeah its called DNA homie!

[@jellyboy1112]

That’s sooo coool! It’s like making fingerboards except it’s a ultra huge mold!

[@Killerushedgerus]

wait...people are actually complaining about the fact that these are handmade boards? CNC is more precise, but hand-making it gives you a ton of options. It's also nice to know that someone else put their time into making you a beautiful board. Admittedly shortboards are pretty uniform but custom longboards...absolutely beautiful. I could never own a mass produced lonboard.

[@TableEnMousse]

I love the designs of these skates

[@smashbadger]

i smiled when i saw it was an A Third Foot board. fav company by far

[@jeromeandrews9994]

i really like the end!

[@gnarCR]

I love that they're still handmade

[@Thechildishmandingo]

Skate 3 already taught me this.

[@Sampachimfwembe]

were can i purchese such mechinary from,, i wanna start a skateboard factory in my country,, getting skateboards imported has became hall

[@craigTHEbest76]

he cuts it so perfect!

[@SecretPesch]

I love videos and programs that show us how the things are made...

[@JOKBO1]

we got to respect these guys work.

[@TheXxMidniightxX]

Wow, Nice. That clever little analogy at the end ruined the whole video.

[@ordazmin]

Nothing wrong by putting some truth in it 😁

[@spydergs07]

Aww snowflake

[@spydergs07]

@@stephan1313 Did it hurt your feelings snowflake?

[@AfxCrush]

so, what are the machines I need to have a decent workshop?

[@quinsedlethorpid]

I'm no expert, but I have a hard time believing skateboards are made with this much detail on a mass scale. If so they're definitely worth every penny.

[@rhyboy1]

After watching the amount of precision that goes into DSM decks (Rodney Mullen's), and then these hand made ones.. I dono if I'll ever by handmade again..

[@21nGG]

The thing at the end ruined it for me

[@sk84life0]

i've always wanted to make my own boards but i just need to do some research on what i need to start . its been my dream to do this .

[@RadioRats100]

Where can I work at to make skateboards? Meaning where is a place that makes skateboards so I can go there.

[@whatsernamebeetlejoe]

"your skate has a design, and a designer" :)

[@gabegooch8338]

My board once had the the graphic the wrong way round.

[@gabegooch8338]

JubbLaTV Yeah, I don't know whether it was a faulty machine or sticker, but the board was inverted. It was a real BTW

[@bossman408]

...and then you get mad you can't land a trick and throw your board in the river.

[@zf5249]

Digital Grove i'm not lying, and why should i lie, this happened to me!!!

[@P4ND4ZZ]

thats pretty cool, i'd like to know what kind of material they used for the graphics, way easier than paintin it by hand lol

[@ramisero1]

as it is called the heat roller to the printing of the skateboard. also like to know what kind of paper is used for such impressions. I appreciate that information.

[@johnman5698]

what kind of board is used for making skateoard dah what kind of glue, can I recommend it?

[@Max14163]

The guy at 3:00 has a very steady hand. Kudos!

[@mnskater1996]

I love the last part about how we have an intelligent creator.

[@ayyperez7091]

Cool i didnt know u put on the graphic like that i thot they spray painted it

[@luiseduardo3882]

I think is quite impresing how they cut the board without any guide in that saw!

[@MrThomasvddries]

So this whole video is to "prove" god exists.

[@Dylfunkle]

you had me entirely, then you brought your god into it and i'm out.

[@pleaseenteraname.5857]

I feel exactly the same. I was actually enjoying the video till I saw the "everything has a design and a designer. So do you," and i legit had to close my computer.

[@MrCrapheadist]

Nice video. I enjoyed your analogy. And we are so much more complicated than skateboards. If someone told you skateboards happened by chance, it would probably insult you after putting in all that time,planning,and energy into their creation

[@shapesgraphics5951]

You have to design the machines in which you design the skateboards, then you have to design the pieces that will fit in the machine then....ILLUMINATI

[@luchedir5259]

Hello, great work, which glue kept silent uses?

[@JordanMossy]

I've never seen a video of someone making something that's so entertaining. :o

[@1rralphh1]

hmm that some hard work and neat product. maybe those people who break their skateboards from anger should watch this

[@schalliCA]

would u like to tell me what kind of ( Ball bearing corner rounding bit ) do u use for the hand router ?

[@slingarrowtm.5184]

Randy Molen freaking genius!

[@MyUsrNaMeSuX]

Do i have a design and a disgner?:O God?

[@skateMASSECER]

hey this was 2 years ago! is this still how they make skateboards?

[@MRsimpleMCtimez]

skate 3 still makes me want to eat the glue ( the intro is sooo good)

[@davidarquezabdala7166]

Can I know what kind of ink do you use to the process of screen print?

[@e13e7]

Didn't expect this whole thing ended with a god message...

[@CatspitProductions]

Very cool video. Now that is some skilled labor. I saw another video where the process was a lot more automated. Come get some Catspit~!

[@HosannaSkurfin]

i like what you did there at the end....

[@RadioRats100]

Just because there not top of the line brands dosent mean there made cheap. Theres a lot of companys that make great boards and are underground such as bloodwizard, lifeblood, bacon, merde, unheard, consolidate, darkstar, loser machine, elephant brand, lurkville, mini logo, and ect.

[@LiamGrahamStreet]

you know when you apply the graphic what is the transparent sheet its on? is it a transfer?

[@tokosokos]

If i had a factory like this, i think i would make millions with it!!! >:)

[@juanelow03]

what is that black layer you add to the other layers of wood before you pressed them?

[@MrNinjaboy01]

how many splinters would you get after making a tonne of skateboards?

[@streetenstgo]

This is pro. dude, congratulations for your work, someday i'd love to make a brand for a skateboard line :)

[@speaker00001]

hey 2 questions...how long do you put the plywood veneers in the press mould machine for? and what material is the graphic heat transfer made out of? peace

[@moolybastard95]

@Noely1001 its called heat transfer paper. Its very similar to iron on designs,

[@HarmFlo]

@nyskate08 .. don't think so. cheap boards are pressed with multiple decks at a time, and have less convave.

[@sk8erandcreator1]

Remember you could watch a video without an annoying commercial? Remember when music videos were uploaded by USERS not VEVO? Remember the yellow suscribe button at the top? Remember when you didn't have a limit to favorites? Remember when you could rate a video 1-5 stars? Remember when all of the info was to the right of the video? WE MISS THE OLD KZbin! Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot! Thumbs up to keep this @ the top of the page!!

[@nkoxnezo]

or please tell me the size of each division. thank you

[@wallacealves3131]

what is the name of this press do you use to fix the drawing on wood?

[@Mrjhoao77]

What is the name of the wooden slats, which have such wide wooden slats. few layers introduced in the press and material that separates them? thanks in advance

[@xXxLEW1SxXx]

That vid is so cool lol that explains why the decks cost so much cause i always wondred why they cost alot for just a piece of wood XD

[@patguyperson]

@nyskate08 no didnt you see how much time they put in the boards

[@alexwick840]

oh yea? well when was the last time you made a skateboard?

[@trescade5832]

And learn when to shut your mouth when it needs to be have. So have a good life and I wish you the best no matter what. -your god loving friend, Matt

[@MrVpt]

Just perfect! merci beaucoup!

[@EmuSonicxD]

this guy has gracious maneuvers

[@technopunks]

Who knows the name of the device, which they round is upper deck edge? He is shown with 3 minutes 37 seconds th!

[@xXxLEW1SxXx]

@BlackGab10417 ehhh lol, i don't know if i have to be honest.. maybe because of the wood is cheap because my little brother has one of them u know the cheap boards and it snaps so easily i landed a kickflip on one and it snapped. i think there cheap because they have less layers and there a easily made product like you get xbox which is like £100 maybe $150 idk im not from America and then you get those really cheap random consoles which in england would be from £15 to £50.

[@loganmclennan2617]

My designer is my mother!

[@gustavin1997]

this is the best invent ever

[@dshuster73]

That is awesome :d

[@oneeyedtoad09]

@MrNinjaboy01 you kinda build a resistance to splinters, over time. Not something a woodworker would worry about.

[@SVTFjason]

hey guys, thought i'd answer some questions. to get glue other than titebond, you need a hazmat license. the catalysts the pro companies use require that. and they arent cheap. that glue is 120$ to do 30 decks. The wood they use you wont be able to afford unless you buy a truckload. a truckload can be anywhere from $60,000USD to $80,000USD. If you dont get a truckload, your wood price per deck is about 22$. plus glue $6/deck. so thats 28$ without other costs. not cost effective to do.

[@amrskate]

Hello everyone I was wondering how do I get into power comtat with you I'm from Brazil and Stockholm wanting fonecedor of shape and I liked the work you guys on video

[@largegrainsofsalt]

hand screened graphics leave smear streaks when you do boardslides and look totally badass, but doing more than 2 colors takes a lot of skill and time. heat transfer graphics tend to chip, flake off and look shitty but are super fast and easy to do.

[@coolhackerguy]

Love this song man!

[@scruffyTJ1234]

is the white lab coat completely necessary?

[@Fal0o0osk8]

i need to know the name of that thecnic of graphic. please someone know the name or videos about that

[@mr.sadghost8507]

Wow, does the glue take two weeks to dry?

[@lycater]

Apperently yes

[@Smac32jzx]

2:50 omg the skill to keep it on the line

[@toony1998]

does anyone know what the tool is that he uses to spread the glue

[@SnowFinland]

I want to buy one of those :) do you sell them?

[@TuriyanGold]

The ones at big lots are better than the POS we used to buy in the shops in the 80s.

[@skrawbeareeZ]

nice shape....i wonder if it has a nice contour..

[@trealexanderj]

What sites it take to have a Jon like this..

[@SpfySpaceJam]

cant wait to make my own

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

how you prevent damage/scratches on the bottom board?

[@Daniel-oz5dm]

grab/slide rails on the bottom raise up the surface if you do boardslides or something

[@WouterLeemanMusic]

wher's the little One Eighty twist at the end!

[@xCilenCeLP]

Is your Keyboard clean now?

[@olefagerheim]

i thought you should never stack the boards on top of eachother in the drying process, itt makes the bottom boards flat...

[@praizerskater]

man thats ausome i wish i could make my own boards

[@andari1640]

oye amigo como consegiste ese molde, o como se llama el horno...espero q me contestes gracias

[@mrpaddywagon]

do you know where to make and buy skateboard graphics to put on blank decks?

[@switchshorty]

this method of manufacture will still be used by small independant companys who dont have a huge supply need. bigger companies use a more automated process then the one u can see in this video

[@diegodieguinho55]

gotei gold

[@DominiqueWestenskow]

4:07 it goes with the music

[@nosenseskateshop]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@RadBacon]

Does anybody know what this song is called? It is a really catchy tune!

[@SmithDarian]

i saw that same board design on a skateboard in Target,
