if you're looking for something like createitskateit then just go to your local sign shop and have some vinyl stickers cut out... thats all they do there.
if you're looking for some screened one-offs you're gonna be paying for it with all the set-up fees and such.

Thats kind of like:

I wonder if you do one railslide and the whole sheet peels off. It's nice just to do one and hang on your wall though.

i'd like to see what happens when the sticker balls up and binds under your feet while on teh rail.
i think the idea is that you have them made for art's sake... but then the name of the company makes no sense does it.
and much like snowboards... skateboards are made to be destroyed... i hate when people get all pansy about their graphics getting trashed or someone scratching their board.

They state pretty clearly on the site that its not screen printed.. so why is it such a surprise... read up!
And for art sake its a good idea... for riding... get a pro deck then.

Do they still make skatebords out of ply?
Has anyone ever tried making them out of carbon fibre etc.?
Surely there is a way now in which the graphics can exist as part of the laminate of the board?
Creat it skate it is a con for young kids who like the idea of arting up their own board.
Make card stencils and some spray paint!
My advice though is to stick with bare wood.
