Bacon Skateboards Review: Bacon Photograph Skateboard Series Decks

Bacon Skateboards Review: Bacon Photograph Skateboard Series Decks 

Bacon Skateboards comes out swinging, and it's quite the interesting series for the brand. Bacon Skateboards always put out quality wood, and feature some crazy graphics. However in this case, they put out options that are photographic, and are somewhat more akin to something that Stereo Skateboards, or Element Skateboards would put out. This is definitely a good option to pursue, and something that you will want to pick up. I picked up a series of these decks, since I'm the only idiot in Indianapolis repping Blind and Bacon for some reason.

With this series of skateboards Bacon skateboards puts together a good set of wood that is going to help you get into any mini ramp, pool, or street course with relative ease. 

Check out this series by Bacon Skateboards and pick them up with the links I provide, or don't, what the hell? Skate or die!

Element has teamed up with Thrasher’s King of the Road to create Bam Margera decks for a limited time.

Element Skateboards Review - Element Skateboards Timber Voyager Nautical Deck

Element Skateboards is one of those brands that has blown up in a lot of ways. If you go to Disneyworld or Disneyland, for instance, you’re going to find that the brand has their products in there. Element Skateboards also has a store at Universal Studios, and I’ve loved to see how much they’ve grown since they were first getting big in the early 2000s. I for one loved the initial designs and pop that came from Element, and now they are releasing a series of decks that have some good wood, good pop, and an interesting theme, one about wandering around. The Timber series features cool graphics, simple tattoo style lines, and illustration.

For this deck, the size is 8.25 x 32.25 and it features a sailor, with an anchor on his ankle, and a shark waiting for lunch. It’s got some blues and black lines, alongside a quote that states, “Don’t let the anchor stop the voyage”.

The skateboard deck from Element also has the Element skateboards logo stamp, and the Element Timber series stamp as well. It has wood grain, it has multiple ply construction, and it’s stronger than most boards. It’s a quality skateboard from Element, and it is one that rides fine for street style more than anything else. I love it, personally. I

DGK Skateboard Decks - Marquise Henry The DGK Samurai Skateboard Reviews

DGK skateboards once again does something grand with the release of the kung fu board series. DGK skateboard’s pro model for Marquise Henry showcases that classic 1970s kung fu style, and perhaps one of the best ones. This one features the “DGK Samurai”, and it features a great deal of elements that you would expect from the blacksploitation era.

DGK does well with the graphic design here, that has a lot of red and some good mix of yellow and other colors to illustrate the kung fu elements that come within the world of DGK’s style. DGK skateboards throws down a classic line up here for Marquise Henry, that’s for certain.

The size and shape of this board is 7.9 x 31.25 and it’s so close to 8.0 that you are not going to tell the difference. I’m not sure why they went that specific with the size, but it honestly doesn’t bug me. The shape is good, and the pop is great, with a slight concave that you are going to be used to with DGK skateboards. Skateboards are usually the same, and this shape is great, but the graphic is what I love the most from DGK skateboards, throwing down a lot of awesome graphic design.

This pro model is full color and looks like the 1970s kung fu movies of old. I love it. I love the series from DGK skateboards, and it’s a great option that is very good overall. The graphic design is clever, the font is good, and the elements works very well as far as something that you should look on the wall.

The size and shape is simple, 8.25 x 31.5 and is not that difficult to manage. If you’re a fan of of street boards, this is a great one to work with, as it lets you enjoy the best of all worlds of skateboarding in terms of street style.

DGK Skateboard Decks - Quise DGK Black Light Glow In The Dark Skateboard Review

Continuing with the reviews of DGK skateboards, I’m talking about the black light glow skateboard pro model of Quise. This is a skateboard that is very bright when you throw on a black light, and not so much without it. It’s still colorful, but the paint job here is specifically made for the black light treatment. I am not sure how many black lights you’ll encounter in the streets, but if you have a bedroom and you want to hang this skateboard, it’s going to look really cool. DGK skateboards does well with this colorful graphic, and design of course, as they are always doing something good.

As for the specs, this is a 7.8 width skateboard, with a 31.875 length, and it’s got some serious pop. If you’re looking for a street skateboard, this is going to work well, it’s a solid split deck that is made of hard wood, has great graphic design, and works very well for just about anything you want. Whether you’re going to do flip tricks, or you’re going to hit a pool or mini-ramp, this is a great choice to work with, if you ask me.

DGK skateboards throws down a good deck, and if you see it, get it. I’ll be getting at least one from this series that’s for sure. The Quise DGK skateboard deck is a solid solution that is going to work well overall for just about any need you may have.

DGK Skateboard Decks - DGK Skateboards Return To The DGK Chamber Vaughn Review

DGK skateboards always puts out quality wood, and this time around they are putting together an incredible series with a throwback to kung fu movies from the past. With the release of this one, we are going to get a solution that is very much appealing in that it’s titled, Return To The DGK Chamber. For fans of kung fu movies, and skateboards, this is going to rock hard. DGK skateboards and their team really are doing well here and this is a great option to consider if you’re looking for a deck for your wall or you want to ride a specific skateboard from the DGK skateboards crew.

DGK skateboards presents the Vaughn pro model, and it’s 8.1 x 31.5 so it’s a little wider than what I’m used to, as I’m usually riding 7.75 x 31.5 or something similar. However, this is not too much larger than what you’d expect from a street style deck. If you’re a street skater, then you’ll love the style that this has. DGK has boards that are strong, have good pop, are good at flipping, and going for speed as well. Testing this out has been a blast, and honestly, I was surprised by the steady hardwood that is here, as it’s definitely worth checking out for those that haven’t tested a DGK board lately.

This board has some great color graphics, a great throwback design, and I you read the text, yo’ll love how it’s represented. I mean, you looking at the symbols, you can see that it says DGK in several ways, then you see the title, Return To The DGK Chamber, money on the line, and some great elements from the pro series. It looks like a movie poster, honestly, and it’s really cool how the DGK skateboards team gets these killer skateboards with awesome throwbacks to the 1970s and 1980s kung fu solutions. I love it, you love it, and well, you want to get it right? I am going to be ordering the full series of skateboards from DGK here, since I love kung fu movies, and this is just mixing the two. As far as design is concerned, DGK skateboards is doing something really cool with these skateboards and I love them.

DGK Skateboard Decks - DGK Skateboards Josh Kalis Master of the Flying Dice Skateboard Review

DGK skateboards once again comes through with a stellar line up. This line of skateboards are in tribute of the 1970s kung fu movies, and if you catch them, you know what’s up. I for one am a huge fan of “Master of Flying Guillotine” and that’s what you get with Josh Kalis. Josh Kalis is an interesting character, and his skateboard from DGK is awesome. If you know Kalis, you know how good he is in the streets, and his style hasn’t changed much since he first hit the scene with Rob Dyrdek and others. Kalis is represented on this skateboard from DGK and it features the Master of Flying Dice, with a throwback to kung fu movies.

The deck itself has some great concave, good pop, and is 7.8 x 31. It’s a solid solution that you are going to want to take advantage of if you see it at your local skateboard shop. The DGK skateboards shapes are street style, and this one is 7.8 width, which I really like. It’s easy to flip, easy to board slide, and features the classic DGK style and graphics. They are full color, they are vibrant, and the multiple ply wood makes for a strong skateboard if you’re into what DGK skateboards is putting out.

As far as a street skateboard, the Josh Kalis pro model skateboards from DGK is one of the better offerings for style and substance. I love it. It’s got pop, it’s got good graphic design, and it’s the pro model of Josh Kalis. DGK skateboards does it again, and this is one hell of a board whether or not you’re used to the DGK skateboard company brand or not.

DGK skateboards put out good wood, and this is a good one for sure. I love it. I bought the Boss deck already, but this is another one I’m getting before they are pulled from shelves. I’m a huge fun of kung fu movies, so this is something I can’t miss out on.

DGK Skateboard Decks - DGK Skateboards Review DGK Boss Deck

I was recently at a skateboard shop and they only had a few DGK skateboards left, so I had to buy one. Which one did I buy? I bought the Boss deck, and it’s now going to hang in my office. The Boss of course is none other than Pablo Escobar, who is infamous in a lot of ways. He is a major player in the world of drugs, finances, and is someone that got the money, and ended up dead. But he’s always going to be remembered as the boss, and well, DGK skateboards puts out a good skateboard with a tribute of sorts. The Boss, Pablo Escobar is shown on the deck in a good contrast of color, and with a stack of money all around him.

DGK skateboard decks are solid, the graphic is great here, and the overall shape is grand if you’re a street skater. I haven’t tried this at the park, but I know the shape all too well. The graphic is great, the pop is good, the concave is right where I want it, and DGK is certainly doing good things overall. This is a skateboard that really can go from the street to your wall without much of a change at all.

As far as the overall design, this is a good skateboard deck. DGK skateboards does great with this one. I love it. It showcases Pablo Escobar, and well, it’s something you probably will like if you’re a fan of DGK graphic style etc.

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Jungle Deck Skateboard Deck Review

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Series 

Bacon skateboards comes at you with another great deck. This skateboard deck is part of the "Spicy" Adventure series, and I for one love it. Here's a little throwback to a classic horror and science fiction classic, the Island of Doctor Moreau. At least that's what I think about when I see this one, but of course, you could see this in a different manner. I like it. The series is a throwback to classic pulp fiction and things of that nature.

Bacon skateboards has great decks, they are made of hard wood, and they are often wider than the most average of street boards. I ride vert a lot with them, personally. This is part of a great visual design series, and Bacon skateboards is a top notch board company from the Pacific Northwest. This is a great board, and one to collect or like me, ride.

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Isle Of Monsters Deck Skateboard Deck Review

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Series 

Oh snap, Bacon skateboards unleashes their "Spicy Adventure" series with another classic design. This time around you get a little throw back and a knife in view. If you have seen the rest of the decks, and I know you have, if you follow this site, you are going to love the noise that is coming out of the Northwest from these guys. Bacon has done something really cool, and if you want to ride them, or collect them, the boards are collectively good, and impressive to say the least. Bacon skateboards has released a nod to pop culture, pulp fiction, comics, and horror all in the same breath.

The board itself is good, has great concave, lightweight, and strong. It's more of a hesher style if you ask me, but it works for street. I usually can't land every trick, but with the boards from Bacon, i've been able to do a lot more than usual, and I think it's the wide widths that they have, but maybe it's cause I ride a lot of Bacon. Who doesn't love Bacon? Another great board.

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Lord Of Death Skateboard Deck Review

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Series 

Bacon skateboards has released another classic deck if you like me. This time around they mix the old vintage pulp magazines, horror focus, and much more. Bacon Skateboards "Spicy Adventure" series once again focuses on throwing together some stellar graphic design, and a board style that you would expect from the Bacon company. Bacon skateboards out of the Pacific Northwest again does well with their boards. This one gives me a King Kong or black and white horror movie, science fiction throwback.

The boards themselves, are quality, hard wood, good concave, and easy to pick up and ride. It's lightweight, strong, and I for one use them more for vert than I do for street. However, if you like street, Bacon has you covered with another quality skateboard deck.

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Serpent Lady Skateboard Deck Review

Bacon Skateboards Spicy Adventure Series 

Bacon skateboards once again comes through with something fascinating for me. They put out a series of skateboard series called "Spicy Adventure", and well, here's the first one that I saw, and was absolutely getting, because it has a very cool art style. The deck features a serpent lady coming up and controlling those that are looking her way, and the Bacon Skateboards logo is on it. This seems like it's straight out of a pulp comic book from the 1960s. I love the art direction here.

As for the skateboard deck itself, it's what you'd expect. It has rock hard multiple ply construction, good concave, and your standard street skateboard style. I do notice that Bacon boards are great for more than just street skateboarding, though, as I use it on a mini ramp, or rather use theirs on mini ramps a lot, as they usually come a little wider than most. However, this is great.
