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.

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 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.

Flip Tom Penny Cheech and Chong Skateboard Deck Review

The twentieth anniversary of the Cheech and Chong skateboard deck from Tom Penny is now available from Flip Skateboards. If you grew up in the 1990s, then you already know about this. Back in the day,

I don’t think that Flip Skateboards asked permission to use Cheech and Chong’s license for this. Thanks to new licensing, Flip was able to get officially licensed decks, which is awesome. With the Flip Tom Penny Cheech and Chong Skateboard Deck, you’re going to get the original graphic with a twentieth anniversary logo on it.

The Flip Tom Penny Cheech and Chong Skateboard Deck is 7.75 x 31.63 and the concave is massive on this one. I like that for flip tricks, but the pop is the next big thing on this deck. I remember the original, and it’s similar to this.

It’s a great option for those that want art and style with their decks. It’s classic, it feels great, and flips easily. This is a pure street deck, just so you know. Great update from Flip Skateboards.

Skateboards are released on a limited time, limited quantity basis. These won’t last. If you’re interested in this skateboard or any of the options mentioned, check out these links:

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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 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.
