Boast about your latest purchases here...

[Formallyknownas]

I've been wanting to start a thread about this for the longest time.

 

Teach people how to make their own decals.

 

Not everyone is proficient in Adobe and not everyone has access to the software either.

But I've been toying with oldschool Freehand MX. The software may be over a decade old.

But its more than capable. Its also free and quick to download and much easier to learn. Especially for those with no prior design software experience.

 

I also want the thread to be a collection of resources for making bike related decals as well.

Vector logos, typefaces, high res png's with transparent backgrounds, etc.

A place to showcase work and talk about the processes involved regarding scaling before going to print. Especially wheel decals.

 

Anyhoo. When Myles swopped forks on his Reign. I threw this together in under 5 minutes using nothing but Freehand and stuff I got from Google.

And to go with the fork decals, and after watching Myles' shuttle run vids, I got this:

 

Time for some vids!

Ja, I looked in the garage for old trucks that might need work just to try it out! Hahaha!

Thanks! Alas, it only arrived at the shop on Friday, when I was already in Durbs...Then what do I see in the beachfront skate shop? the exact same board! Hahaha! Saw some other beauts in there too. Had to hide my credit card!

 

Luckily, I had this board with me...

 

 

 

Made the mistake of taking out the new board on wet roads this morning. Had a little lie-down on the tarmac...

Is it weird that I feel slightly aroused while wearing it?

[mon-goose]

I really want one of those......

[AlanD]

I have anted one since they came out. Saved some cash, sold some parts and pulled the trigger. It's really beautiful. It's big and bold and will take some time to get used. I'm almost scared to wear it....lol
