really nice design!
What’s the lenght of the deck?
Is it much longer than a regular one?
David Airey
Love it, Antonio! Great work. The wheel design is particularly tasty, and I hope you sell out in record time.

Amazing! Two of my favorite things in this world. Design and skateboarding.

James, it was released at the time of this post but the project has been in the works for a while. I personally don’t see any similarities other than the hellos in different languages. But this isn’t the first time it’s been done.

@James
I have to agree with Antonio on the lack of similarity here.
It’s also just a bit cheeky to suggest that someone has ripped you off when…wait a minute…isn’t that DJ Kicks’ Erlend Oye album playing on your site? Totally legit and licensed no doubt…
James Hsu
Thanks for the input and feedback fellas. I suppose you’re right about my behavior being slightly presumptuous.
@Gareth
on the note about DJ Kicks album playing on my site, I was under the impression that playing music without claiming a profit was legitimate? Correct me if I’m wrong.
