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.

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.

5Boro x Dan Santoro Skateboard Deck Series McDonald Deck Review

5Boro Skateboards x McDonald Deck

For all two people that follow my blog, you know that I love the work that 5boro skateboards does. They partner with artists, they support their local scene, and they bleed New York City in many ways. I recall Manik Skateboards being that great for the city of Seattle, and really making me want to skateboard a lot more. They are long gone, but you know what? That spirit is alive and well with companies like 5boro skateboards putting out fine decks, including this one from the Dan Santoro art line that they just put out.

This deck features some true Americana and if you’re an American, then how can you not like this one? It’s killer, and well worth putting under your feet.

5Boro Skateboards x Santoro Akers Deck

It’s been a while since I made any commentary about skateboard decks, and well, that’s because I have been busy doing a lot of different things. I am getting a master’s degree, I’m in the Midwest and it’s cold, and well, I have other priorities. But I caught a really cool set of skateboards thanks to 5Boro Skateboards and their commitment to artwork.

They just put out a series of skateboards with Dan Santoro at the helm, and it’s really cool. So I’m going to be talking about 5Boro skateboards, or something, I don’t know, reviewing boards gets old, especially since my tastes are different than your tastes.

5Boro Skateboards Cinco Barrios Skateboard Deck Review

Holy crap, they are back! The guys at 5Boro skateboards have really outdone themselves with this one. I love the team, love the skateboards, and really feel that the guys have been doing well in representing New York City skateboarding. As such, they have released this killer deck, and it’s available in two different sizes and colorways. I personally love this particular colorway, as it is very much a Latin American flavor. Mexican, to be exact. Either way, if you’re going to support core branded skateboarding, then you should get yourself one of these 5Boro skateboards.

The 5Boro skateboards Cinco Barrios skateboard deck is available at your local skateboard shop, and online. Maybe even on amazon by clicking here. Not sure, though. Whatever, go skate this deck or put it on your wall like I’m going to do.

5Boro Skateboards Mickey Mouse Running From Cops Skateboard Deck Review

Always Run From Police - 5Boro Skateboards

Ok, it’s not really Mickey Mouse. 5Boro skateboards puts a really cool spin on the classic mouse, but it’s not Mickey. Well, it kind of is, but it’s not. If you look at this skateboard from 5Boro skateboards, you’re going to find that the guys have doodled their way into giving you a bad idea, run from the police. Hey, I’m not going to advocate anything illegal, but I did run in my younger years. I grew up skateboarding Santa Monica, and well, the cops don’t like you hitting the streets or public areas, and you either ran or you were going to be fined or locked up.

With the release of the “Always Run From Police” deck, you get that classic 5Boro skateboards style, with a nod to the mouse that runs the house of Disney. Cool deck, may be a great one for the wall, where it may get appreciated.

Zoo York Water Color Liberty Skate Deck Review

Of all the skateboarding companies that have made it big, I feel that Zoo York still maintains a lot of their graphic design elements. They still push modern skateboarding, even if the team is not like it once was, and there are a lot of people rocking their clothing, etc. Whatever the case may be, they have a new series of decks that feature different New York staples done in water colors. This is the Zoo York Water Color Liberty Skate Deck, for instance, and it’s 8.5 x 31.875 and it’s an instant classic if you’re from New York City.

The Zoo York Water Color Liberty Skate Deck is a good overall shape, with the classic Zoo York concave and hard wood pressing. I’ve always liked the rounder edge that comes with the Zoo York decks, but that’s just a subtle taste element that you may not even notice. Once gripped, this board rocks, and it’s easy to work with if you’re usually skateboarding on a 8.5 deck.

The Zoo York Water Color Liberty Skate Deck is out now, and it’s a good board for the art, and the streets, if you know what I mean.

Zoo York Water Color Freedom Skateboard Deck Review

Zoo York skateboards is one of those companies that I’ve always wanted to emulate. They have made it big in a lot of ways, and they still push out core skateboarding products. Not a lot of shops that I know carry them, but when you see them in the wild, they are quite good. With the release of the Zoo York Water Color Freedom Skateboard Deck, you get some stellar artwork that represents New York very well.

This water color artwork is not just great for the board, it can be placed on your wall with ease. I have 4 on my wall right now, not all Zoo York, but boards in general. The Zoo York Water Color Freedom Skateboard Deck features 8.25 x 31.875 sizing, and the concave that’s great for the streets. This isn’t much for pools or anything like that, but it’s a good versatile skateboard deck for street skateboarding.

If you’re used to the Zoo York skateboards shape, then the Zoo York Water Color Freedom Skateboard Deck is going to fit right into your collection. I like it, and it’s just the right size for flips and board slides. Although, not good for vert, if you ask me.

Deathwish Skateboards Ellington The Dancer Pee Wee Herman Skateboard Deck Review

The Deathwish Skateboards Ellington The Dancer Pee Wee Herman Skateboard has a very unique painting on it. It’s from an artist named The Dancer, but the image is of the man, the myth, the legend, Pee Wee Herman! Not only that, He’s flipping you off, sucka! It’s so subtle, you’re going to miss it if you don’t look closely. Whatever the case is, this is a great art piece from Deathwish.

Now, in regards to the deck size, this is 8.125 x 31.5 which isn’t that large, and isn’t going to really feel too far away from 8. I like the 8.25 – 8.5 options more often than not, and this is a street classic. There’s a lot of pop on this, with good concave, but it’s more for flip tricks and catching shove-its.

Deathwish puts out quality boards, and this is a combination of art and design. It’s not as high tech as some of the Almost or Black Label ones, but it’s definitely a good option. I like the Deathwish Skateboards Ellington The Dancer Pee Wee Herman Skateboard because of Pee Wee more than anything else. It’s really cool.

Heroin Skateboards Street Sharks Skateboard Decks

Street Sharks The Cartoon Show

Heroin Skateboards put on a serious showcase of parody. These boards are exactly what you would expect from the short lived cartoon show Street Sharks! That's right, STREET SHARKS! Do you remember that show?

If you don't, you're missing out.

Anyways, these boards from Heroin Skateboards feature that same kind of cartoon style that you will no doubt love. These are amazing boards to put up if you're a fan of nostalgia.

Heroin Skateboards is not one of my personal favorite brands sometimes, but these boards are undeniably cool. I'm not sure if they meant to be like the show, but hey, it's really cool if you ask me.

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.

Boo Johnson Cali Love Deck Artwork Is My Favorite of 2017

I'm from California. I grew up in the skateboarding scene in the early 1990s. I was there when Jason Lee skated the Santa Monica Place Mall, before they turned it into an extension of the Third Street Promenade. I skated Wilshire, the Court House, and the Kaiser Medical Building. I loved 90s skateboarding, and DGK Skateboards represents that a lot of the time.

With this graphic from Boo Johnson, I feel that the California element is represented so well, I have to make mention of it on this page. I'm in my 30s now, I still skate, and I feature boards that Love on this site.

There are no other boards that I've loved as much as this deck, with the exception of the Shorty's Muska Skateboard decks that I used to ride. You know, the ones with the shadow.

Boo Johnson's Pro Model Cali' Love Skateboard Deck is my favorite thus far in 2017. DGK Skateboards keeps bringing out some amazing boards. Great stuff here. I love it. I am going to buy it, and most likely put it up on my wall.

If you're interested in supporting Boo Johnson, and DGK skateboards, click HERE and order some pro model decks. Each board helps the rider, and of course DGK as a brand. 

Tershy Floral Series Decks from Chocolate Skateboards

Chocolate skateboards has come out swinging once again with some incredible boards. This is the Tershy Floral Series from Chocolate, and they are really cool. There's about 3 or 4 layers to the prints on these boards, and the Chocolate skateboards name across each one.

This set of professional boards are definitely worth picking up right now. Whether you choose to ride them or put them up on your wall, you're going to love how these boards look.

As for those that are riding Chocolate skateboards, the pop is still good, the 7 layer process is great, and it's been about 10 years since I've broken one of them, so you'll love the style. Chocolate skateboards really does well with their artists, and this is another testament to the classic nature of their overall color and floral patterns on these. Check them out.
