[@DEVOn.A.Skertic]

Well, seems that his new deck, is my next purchase.

[@peacelovebrad]

It's hanging on my wall right now--had to scoop it up even though my current deck has a lot of life left. Can't wait to skate it--it is amazing to behold.

[@BrandonGates]

Some many pros wear Converse Louie Lopez’s, such an awesome skate shoe.

[@Funkhewould]

What the funk. This graphic speaks to the deep. Bring the water, squelch the burn. Sink the carbon!

[@master_illitrix]

Oh! I saw this set up on Red Bull's instagram

[@idoskateboarding2785]

please stop making small vx boards 8.25 and up and man stock up

[@ninjaman12310]

Just picked mine up from No-Comply today. Congrats Jake super stoked!

[@idmhead0160]

Uh, yeah. The way he flies out on the disasters, I could definitely see how a VX board would help. Sheesh.

[@Neto-3377]

We shouldn't do anything that's possible. That would be the end in long term.

[@yesmaybe630]

Can vx decks handle extreme cold or hot in your trunk of your car?

[@ramrunsfast]

I just picked one of these up because the wheelbase was longer than the other VX decks I have been looking for. Any ideas when you guys might be releasing longer wheelbase VX decks under the NHS umbrella?

[@Izury.]

The explanation of the graphic is so amazing!!! Need to buy it, just because of the story. Jake is one of my favorites too, so that's fits perfectly 🤙🏼

[@narniaog]

[@yhnyves210896]
