Alien Workshop 2019 Fall Skateboard Decks on Sale Now

Away we go, the Area 51 raid is cancelled, but you can get your skate on with these fine boards from Alien Workshop. Of all of the brands that came through the 1990s, one of the ones that I saw a lot of was in fact Toy Machine skateboards and Alien Workshop skateboards. The two companies were putting out cool graphics, and of course, the alien heads is definitely a major player in this. While the company has changed hands several times, and even Rob Dyrdek was in on it, it's nice to see that the company hasn't completely blown themselves out of the water, and we are still getting quality wood from them.

As such, you're going to want to check out the boards that come through from Alien Workshop below. If you like them, you know where to get them, by clicking here, or the buy now button. These are my favorites from the Fall 2019 skateboard series coming out of the midwest skateboard company. If you're a fan of Alien Workshop, then you're going to want to get in on these boards before they get pulled, as you know they are only available at shops or online for a limited amount of time.

Consolidated Skateboards Cartoon Skateboard Review

I got a new laptop, so now I can start going back to reviewing skateboard art, and random bs. I also bought an Enjoi cruiser with softer wheels, and it’s a lot of fun to cruise around my apartment complex I haven’t hit the skateboard park, but I will soon. As for today’s look, take a chance at getting the new line up from consolidated skateboards. As I try to create a Consolidated skateboards review, I’m thinking about how they were one of the main companies to be against Nike SB, and yet they didn’t get them to go away. I was anti Nike too, but hey, a new generation came in and we are going to have to deal with the changes, aren’t we? No matter what Consolidated skateboards review you look at, you’re going to have to take into account that they are a core skate brand, and if you support them, you support the older generation of skateboarding, and that’s a good thing. So here we go, 3 Consolidated skateboards review options.





Consolidated Skateboards Spring 2019 Review


Here we go, 3 new skateboards from consolidated skateboards, and I like them for what they are. They each symbolize the quality of skateboarding and branding that the company has been pushing for a long time. One look and you know what brand it is. You really don’t need to ready any Consolidated skateboards review because, honesty, you either get it or you don’t. That’s where I’m going to leave it, right there.

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!

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.

Krooked Skateboards Artist Series Skateboard Decks Full Art

Krooked skateboards is one of the greatest brands for me. They have been deliberately doing things differently for so long, thanks to Gonz. Mark Gonzales has been able to transform art into skateboarding, and these decks all feature that sort of push forward. I love a lot of brands from the skateboarding world, but few of them capture the artistic elements that creative types possess.

With this series of skateboard decks, Krooked skateboards really puts on a showcase. The art is varied, comes from a lot of different perspectives, and talents. You can really get a feel for the brand with the series of decks that you will find here.

Up front you will get 3 Krooked skateboards, but if you click the jump, you will get 8 more. If you're going to look into skateboarding, and you want art for your wall, or you just want to ride some killer decks, then I recommend Krooked skateboards. For the art, for the love of skateboarding, these are amazing. You won't find another consistently stellar brand right now, at least in regards to art. Maybe Chocolate, maybe Deathwish, but consistently artistic?

It's hard to beat The Gonz and Krooked skateboards. Check out the art on these decks below.

Oh, and if you're interested in purchasing Krooked skateboards, click HERE, and order them directly to your door.

Doug Des Autels is one of my personal favorite skateboarders on Revive right now, and he kills it. He just released one hell of a montage featuring some Skatelab locals and himself killing it.

How To Set Up A Darkslide Skateboard Video

How To Set Up A Darkslide Skateboard Video
If you're not following Revive Skateboards out of Cincinnati, you're missing out. Andy Schrock and his team have been putting out skateboarding videos for a long time, and they have made more of an impact than many of the mainstream skateboarding teams and brands out there.

Well in this video, after the jump, he shows you how to set up a skateboard for darkslides. Now, if you're an experienced skateboarder, then you know how you can do this trick with your grip tape placed correctly on. But this is a different option. Schrock does well here, and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Having a separate board just for Darkslides will save your main deck, that's for sure.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck Review

And here we go, one of the tried and true solutions from Toy Machine skateboards. If you have been following along with the brand since they first started, then you already know this design quite well. Well, here you go the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck is out again, and this time around it has some nice reinforcements. The latest overall deck ply construction is added on this one, so it’s not like you’re getting another deck from the late 1990s. Instead, this is an updated option that was released in 2016 by Toy Machine skateboards. There are some unique points to this, which is why it’s a best seller for skateboard shops around the country.

Size and Shape


The size of the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck is 8.12 x 31.5 last time I checked. It’s still the same size, don’t worry, there are several sizes that you can get with the Toy Machine Vice monster graphic, but this is the “large” one. I liked the added .12 actually, as it let me have just a little extra for kick flips. The shape is the classic Toy Machine skateboards rounded edges with pop and a little concave. You always know what you’re going to get with Toy Machine, which is always a plus in my view.

Graphic Style


The graphics on this solution is classic Toy Machine, Templeton design. The monster is a brand image that you know and love, right? I have been looking at this graphic for years, and the upgrade is not quite the same, but hey, that’s my 2 cents. As far as the graphics, it’s standard in many ways. If you’re looking for something that is no-nonsense, then of course this is going to be one of the options you’ll no doubt want.

Overall Board Feel


When testing the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck I noticed that it was strong, and light. I was able to flip it with ease, and found that there were no weak points. I like the subtle concave on the Toy Machine 2016 skateboards line up, and this is no different. I found that the subtle extra .12 makes a difference for me. I like the overall design, and shape, the board felt strong, and I only fell once, because I’m old.

The Bottom Line On The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck




If you’re in the marketing for a deck from the 2016 Toy Machine line up, then you are definitely going to appreciate this one. Toy Machine continues to put out quality wood, and this is no different. Whether you’re new to skateboarding or you’re a veteran of skateboarding street style, the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Monster Lg Skateboard Deck is definitely worth picking up right now.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck Review

In my reviews of the latest crop of 2016 Toy Machine skateboard decks, I kept talking about how the mold and shapes that they were putting out were right out of the 1990s. Well, this is different. The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck is a prime example of some of the better, up to date construction that they are putting out. This is a vice mold deck, and it has a serious amount of strength. The brand has found a way to add more strength to the wooden ply’s that are put together. That means that you’ll have a hard deck, that isn’t going to break right away.

Size and Shape


In the case of this Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck, you’re going to find that the size and shape is 8.25 x 32.5. The length bugged me at first, but you know what, it’s not that noticeable when you’re bombing a hill. I launched myself down a set of 3 stairs, and managed to catch the board square, without breaking it. I’m not a light guy, and when I land off of large obstacles, I hit the board with everything I have. Part of it is just to not fall, and the other is because I’m determined to still skate in my 30s. The size is good, pop is nice, the shape seems like it’s older, but the vice mold is evident, no doubt.

Graphic Style


The graphic design style of 2016 Toy Machine skateboards are cartoony. I don’t know if they put out anything that isn’t a cartoon. Whatever the case is, you’re going to get that classic looking monster, with a black and white feel, and natural grain background. It’s like the red and yellow decks that Toy Machine skateboards keeps putting out, but with a little update. I think it looks cool overall.

Overall Board Feel


When testing the latest Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck, I found that it’s solid. I like the added .25 inches and the extra length at the ends. I was able to flip it nicely, but found that my foot wanted to move forward a bit more than usual. Maybe it’s the extra width, or maybe it’s because I was testing a lot of boards, and was getting tired. I did notice that my heelflips were easier with this deck so take that for what it is worth.

Bottom Line on The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck




For 2016, Toy Machine skateboards continues to put out quality decks. The Vice Mold is interesting, light, strong, and definitely worth exploring on a deeper level. I like it. I like the graphics, and I like the size and shape on this one. It’s definitely worth full retail. If you’re going to pick up a skateboard from the 2016 Toy Machine skateboard line up, then you definitely could do worse. The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Vice Mold Dead Vice Monster Skateboard Deck is a good option. Click here to buy this skateboard deck before it sells out, they are going fast.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck Review

I’m a big fan of Black Ninja’s Youtube video, and he’s always chiming in about how bad scooters are, and well here you go, the mainstream is also on the side of the skateboarders. Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck is a solid deck with some nice features, and a graphic that should very well showcase how much skateboarders hate scooters, because they get in the way. It’s not all of the riders, mind you, but a lot of them clog the skateboard parks and cause accidents. Anyways, this deck has some cool elements to consider.

Size and Shape


The size and shape of the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck is 8 x 31.75, which is the board size I’ve been riding a lot. My shoe size is 12, so I like the width of this option, as it allows for easier catches on the flips. I also like it as an everyday board to ride through town. You can easily ollie curbs, hit kickflips off of jumpers, and of course, the classic heelflip. This is a great shape, 8 x 31.75 is solid. The shape is the standard Toy Machine option, with 7-ply North American maple being the layers.

Graphic Style


As mentioned above, the graphic design of the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck is of the iconic Templeton style monster, only this time he’s riding a scooter and it’s crossed out. Skateboarders and scooters don’t always get along, and well, here you go, a graphic that says it. Of course this is going to rub right off, but hey, as long as you got the image, why not showcase your disdain for all those scooter riders right? Good overall graphic design.

Overall Board Feel


The board feels good, nice overall size, medium pop and little to no concave. The standard Toy Machine skateboard style if you ask me. The brand has some innovative updates, but their traditional wood, especially in their 2016 line is exactly as you’d expect from the late 1990s. That doesn’t mean that it’s bad in any way, but you should know what you’re getting into with this. The board feels great, easy to flip, light, and strong as you’d expect.

Bottom Line About The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck




This is a strong deck. Don’t get me wrong, the shape and overall board feel is like the late 90s, but it’s good. The width is great, the length is perfect, and if you grip it right, you’re going to land with ease across the bolts. If you’re looking for a new board, don’t like scooters, and are a fan of Toy Machine skateboards, then you will definitely want to pick up the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Machine No Scooter Skateboard Deck. You can click here to get this with free shipping, right to your door.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Peeper Creeper Skateboard Deck Review

Here we go, another review of the latest from the blood sucking Toy Machine skateboard company. With their 2016 releases, they have been really putting out some quality wood. Continuing our test and review of the many skateboards that you are no doubt going to see online and in stores, the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Peeper Creeper Skateboard Deck is here. This is an interesting graphic and shape, with a lot of the expectations that you’d probably have for the brand. Up front this one caught my eye, and overall, the feel is classic Toy Machine skateboards style.

Size and Shape


First and foremost, let’s consider the size and the shape. If you are a street skateboarder, then you already know how this is going to pop and feel. The concave on Toy machine skateboards has never been deep, and in this case, you get that same late 1990s type of shape. The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Peeper Creeper Skateboard Deck is 8.0 x 31.75 and it feels a little lighter than others. Maybe that’s just a perception problem, maybe it’s just that I was wide awake when trying to test it. I don’t know. Overall, a good size, not too big with a 8.0 clearance that is just right for street skating.

Graphic Style


The graphics on the 2016 Toy Machine skateboards line up has been a mix of traditional Templeton style, and some quirks here and there. For the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Pepper Creeper Skateboard Deck, you’re going to find that Daniel Lutheran has a twisted solution. It’s a “creeper” vibe, with a dude looking at some women in the nude. Classic! Animal House comes to mind with this one, which is a solid solution from the Toy Machine line up.

Overall Board Feel


The overall board feel is good. I think that the 1990s shapes are alive and well today because they just work. This reminds me a lot of my last Shorty’s Muska deck I owned. I bought all 5 or 6 of the shapes back then, and skated the 7.75 x 31 for a long time. Whatever the case is, the feel on this Daniel Lutheran pro model skateboard is good. I was able to flip, pop, and even slide with ease.

The Bottom Line About The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Peeper Creeper Skateboard Deck




At the end of the day, you’re going to find that the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Peeper Creeper Skateboard Deck is a solid deck. It’s priced at full retail because it just came out in 2016, but it’s good. If you’re in the marketing for a Toy Machine deck, then you gotta check this pro model out. Support Daniel Lutheran, and get hyped on Toy Machine’s 2016 line up. You can buy Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Lutheran Pepper Creeper Skateboard Decks by clicking here.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck Review

2016 has been a pretty good year for skateboard decks. Toy Machine skateboards has put out some awesome decks, and this is a great example of what they are doing right now. The Toy Machine Toy Division White Skateboard Deck is the second in their series of this type. The other one is black, and looks a lot more like the original idea that comes from the band Joy Division. If you’re a fan of Joy Division, then you are immediately going to love this deck, as it features graphics that focus on that amazing album.

Size and Shape


The overall size and shape of this deck from Toy Machine is 8.125" x 31.875". That’s a good size for those that are riding bigger boards. It’s not the biggest, not the smallest, but it works. My shoe size is 12, and I have been riding 8 and higher since 2012. I used to only ride 7.75 as I’ve stated before, but lately, I find that these larger options are just as good in terms of overall trick advantage. If you’re going to be diving off of large platforms, and hitting rails, then this will definitely help you get the job done, with a little more surface area to work with.

Graphic Style


The graphic style, as mentioned above, is that of a Joy Division tribute. As you will see from this Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck and the black version of this deck, they have a distinct 1980s feel. The graphics have that Templeton icon in them, and well, it says “know pleasure” on it. Not a bad graphic, but definitely one that was meant for the fans of Joy Division.

Overall Board Feel


When testing the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck, I noticed that it was the same overall shape that you’d expect from the blood sucking Toy Machine. The shape hasn’t changed since the 1990s in my view. That’s a good thing, as it is overall a strong deck, that feels nice under your feet. I enjoyed the split test that I did on it, flipping, no-comply, and ollies all worked just the same as you’d expect.

Bottom Line on The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck




So here we go, what’s the overall bottom line? Well, the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 line up all have their ups and downs, but you can at least know that the company is going to put out a quality deck. This is a good skateboard, but doesn’t have anything extreme in terms of tech. It’s a solid board, in the shape that you’d expect from Toy Machine. It’s a pro level solution with graphics and feel that comes right out of the 1980s music and 1990s street skate scene. I like it.

Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck Review


Toy Machine skateboards has been putting out a lot of decks in 2016. Some of them have hit local shops and some are online. With the release of Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck this one skewers pop culture yet again. I love how the turtle character is in love with themselves, providing an interesting solution for skateboarding glory.

Size and Shape


The size and shape of the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck is simple, it’s 8 x 31.75 as you’d expect from a lot of the skateboards that I’ve tested in this round up of reviews. The shape is standard Toy Machine options. I like it, the 7 ply hardwood solution is a standard since the late 1990s, of course. This pro model deck is nice, easy to flip, lightweight, and exactly what you’d expect from the blood sucking toy machine company.

Graphic Style


Templeton’s artistic flair once again shows up. This is Turtle Girl putting out a selfie with a stick. That’s it, it’s simple, and yet it’s effective. The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck is definitely a bit of satire that you’re going to want to set up and ride to all glory. I love the style, and think that the board’s skewering of popular culture is on point.

Overall Board Feel


The overall board is great. Toy Machine’s decks are easy to ride, easy to ollie, and great with flipping. I was able to go down a few sets of stairs, and pull a flip trick or two. It’s really a good board for anyone that is looking for that classic freestyle skateboard, without going too wide or too short. It’s a standard skateboard in a lot of ways, and one that Billy Marks no doubt rides himself.

The Bottom Line Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck




Overall, I like the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Billy Marks Turtle Girl Selfie Skateboard Deck. This 8 inch deck is solid, easy to flip, easy to land across the bolts, and will put you through months of wear and tear. There’s nothing too extreme here, no bells and whistles, just a good pro model deck from Toy Machine skateboards. I like it.

Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboard Review

Toy Machine skateboards has been around a long time. Ed Templeton’s little company that could has done a lot, and it’s still around putting out some sick parts, some great boards and solid shirts. The art direction has always been great, and this time around, it’s time to review some of the 2016 Toy Machine skateboard releases. With that in mind, let’s look at Joshua Harmony’s Fat Sect skateboard deck. This is a deck that is one of the pro models that you’re going to find at skate shops today.

Size and Shape


First and foremost, the size of this solution is 8.125 inches wide. It’s a little wider than what I rode when I was a teenager. As a teenager I was riding a 7.75 for what seemed like forever. Anything above 8 inches seems a bit wide, but if you have big feet, or you want to ensure that your flips go underneath the arch of your foot, this is a good board to consider overall.

Graphic Style


The graphic design of the Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboard, is a contrast of colors. It features several colors, and the overall graphic is standard blood sucking toy machine style. The Templeton style drawing gives you a down feel with a dog in a cone, upside down, and the character on their phone. This sort of satire is a classic trope of Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboards.

Overall Board Feel


The shape that Toy Machine skateboards has put together over the years has always been the same. It’s slightly concave, nothing too crazy, the pop is good, and the overall feel is great. You can flip with ease, you can shove-it fast, and you can ollie without any trouble. Toy Machine skateboards never really struck me as innovators. They are artistic, and classic in their style. If you’re a fan of 90s overall skateboarding, especially in the streets, then this board will feel great for you.

The Bottom Line On The Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboard Deck




At the end of the day, the Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboard is not half bad. It’s 8.125 inches, has some decent pop, not a lot of concave, and features the Templeton stylized artwork. If you’re used to Toy Machine skateboards already, then you’re going to enjoy this Josh Harmony skateboard. It’s overall standard, and high quality. Toy Machine’s shapes are stuck in the 90s in some ways, but you know what, I like it. It’s a good deck and it’s not going to break the bank. You can buy Toy Machine Harmony Fat Sect Skateboard decks by clicking here, for under 40 bucks.
