We will be sponsoring the New Years Eve Slide Jam in Niceville, Florida this December 31st along with many other great brands! Should be a great event, so if you can make it, definitely do!

Scratch resistance graphics and a slicker board for longer slides, yeah we have them!

Our new graphic inks and coating system allow for a very durable surface that takes the hit from slides so your graphic doesn't have too. It also provides the board with a nice looking creamy matte overcoating, giving it a beautiful, artistic and elegant touch; and soft when you rub your hands across the board, bringing more comfort when you have to pick the board up and carry it.

Allow your skateboard deck graphic to last longer instead of scratching away and exposing just plain wood after two grinds; and increase the smoothness and consistency of all your board slides and such!

Longboarders, keep your graphic there to stay so you can always maintain the artistic beauty that may have drawn you to the deck in the purchase process!

*The pictured board graphic was run across a metal handrail a numerous amount of times, scratching only the protective surface and getting nowhere near the graphic art.

We will be accepting longboard slide glove orders through the entire month of December leading up the new year as well! If you are in need of some slide gloves, and want to try out our new system for just $44, geared for both freeriding and downhill, then shoot us an e-mail at twatson@sketchskateboards.com to discuss an order!

You can read more about our new slide glove system in a few posts lower on our wall.

We will be accepting custom cut longboard orders through the entire month of December leading up to the new year!!

Construction options will be:
7ply maple with rocker concave

Our new slide glove system gives you everything you need out of a performance slide glove, strong lasting pucks and options to be able to put your weight down on slides during freeriding, or grab onto your board tight around tough corners at fast speeds.

The new slide gloves will feature our signature diamond shaped palm pucks and come with the option for either individual finger pucks, or a thumb puck and finger bar puck. All pucks will be attached by industrial strength velcro, so they aren't going anywhere underneath your hand. The more pucks, the more places you can distribute your weight and hold a slide stance for longer distances.

Looking more towards downhill, no worries. Our new slide gloves will also come with durable, leather finger wraps that you can velcro onto the gloves in place of the finger pucks. Now no need to worry about ripped fingers and holes. The durable leather material will allow you to grab onto and grip your board around tight corners, and protect your hands in case your fingers run across the asphalt at 50 miles per hour.

And as always, staying true to our customization features, the colors of the slide pucks, leather wraps and glove wrist graphic will all be chosen by you!

Christmas time at Sketch may be a "golden" one, stay tuned throughout December to see what we mean!!

Also, new December deals in the works, keep a look out!

Just added a library of options to our custom cut abilities! Adding to the current 7ply maple construction we were offering, we can now cut any shape you want in either:

7ply Hardrock Canadian Maple, flat with rocker concave
9ply Hardrock Canadian Maple, flat with rocker concave
9ply Hardrock Canadian Maple, .75" drop down with rocker concave

Finish one jam, get ready for another! Get ready Washington D.C., here we come!

We will be sponsoring the D.C Winter Jam, tossing in some prizes and most likely attending and catching some great footage of the event! Get your skate legs refreshed and be out in the D.C. region for a great event!!

Adding Swiss and Ceramic bearings to our line up!

As well, possibly one new longboard shape; this time with some lovely fiberglass!

And don't forget, we will start taking orders for custom cut longboard decks this December, more information to come on that!

Just established the printing abilities for fully custom graphics on all of our boards!!

Very exciting, however some small restrictions. All of our boards are still printed with water based ink to provide an environmentally friendly product and higher level of performance with grinding contact. Therefore all designs must consist of flat colors and no levels of gradient (shadows or highlights).

Still, we are excited to see what some people come up with! This information will be updated onto the website soon.

Also, beginning to perfect our color mixing, so you will be able to design our boards with literally any color of graphic that appeals to you.

The performance and creative aspects to our graphics is something that no other company on the market offers!
