bit.ly/skateMX5 or link in bio. Skateboard decks have always been the ultimate canvas. Whether you’re planning to grind them to dust at the park or mount them on your wall like the fine art they are (shoutout to our local taco joint's legendary deck wall), a solid board is a mood. This particular deck features "the chase"—a hand-drawn masterpiece by our own Travis Ingram. Printed in full, vibrant color via a premium heat transfer, the graphic has so much pop it might just kickflip your brain. This isn't just a pretty face, though. It’s a legit high-performance board born in the surf-and-skate capital of Huntington Beach, CA. Material: Rock-hard 7-ply Canadian maple hardwood (built to take a beating). Dimensions: 32" x 8" Wheelbase: 14.25" Concave: Medium—perfect for flicking tricks or locked-in carves. Note: This is a fully rideable, premium deck. Trucks and grip tape are not included. If you do decide to hang it up instead of shredding it, there are plenty of easy wall-mounting kits available online. Don't bail on the drop. This is a one-time-only release. Once the clock strikes midnight on July 22nd, we are closing the order books forever and rolling right into production. We will never print this specific design again. Because we build these to order, they take a little time to perfect. Expect yours to ship around the end of August (and they’ll ship separately from any other gear in your cart). Free shipping within the US, International Shipping calculated at checkout. Will this be the first in a legendary series? That depends entirely on how hard you guys drop in on this release.
