    "The whole process of how the skateboard is made" :
    1. Take a blank skateboard deck that magically appeared on your desk
    2. Print the graphic on it

      All skateboards come from a small handful of manufacturers. All skateboard are no better than a 30 dollar blank from the same manufacturer. Skateboards are mold pressed with ply, the same way a fingerboard made but to larger scale. There is no other way to fuse long thin strips of wood while at the same time molding its shape. Mold press or bust, magic isnt real.

    More like how graphics are added on boards... not really made. Logically

    This is "How graphics on skateboards". This is not how skateboards are made...

      The artist in me always cringes a little when it comes skateboard graphics. There's way too much copyright infringement and near-art plagiarism from way too many talented artists.
