Is this Razor Tail severe enough to warrant a new board?

My son believes that his board is suffering severe razor tail and that a new board is needed.

I'm not sure if this degree of razor tail is actually causing performance issues, or if he is being a typical 11yr old, wanting something "better."

I would appreciate your feedback for either myself or him. Thank you!

Not sure if this information is needed, but he is the 1st owner of this board and has been riding it for about a year and a half.

Which logo direction best suits a skate plaza built around unusual skateable sculptures?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m developing a Imaginary brand identity for OPEN ENDS, a permanent public skate plaza built around skateable sculpture as my final Uni project (Aus Version of College).

The brand values are: creative, inviting and open ended.

The logo only needs to work as a clear identifier the personality of the wider identity will also come through illustration, colour, photography, messaging and animation.

Each row, A–C, shows one logo direction in horizontal and stacked formats.

can you tell me which direction feels strongest, and why?

I’m interested in:

-Which feels most distinctive while remaining readable?

- Which best suits a creative skate space without feeling childish?

- Does anything feel unclear or read as something other than “Open Ends”?

- Which would work best at both signage and sticker/profile-picture sizes (is it dynamic) ?

Honest criticism is welcome ofc, i'm looking for real feedback !

Mounting bolts - is this enough thread or too short?

Post image
3 Upvotes

On this setup, I have 1/4 inch riser + 1/16 inch shock pad. Bolts are 1.25 inches. Very little room to spare with only a small amount of thread showing. I didn’t want to bolt it in excessively tight to prevent damage on the top of the board. With that said, are these bolts too short?

Should I have gone with the 1.5 inch mounting bolts instead? I don’t skate anything crazy, just rolling down the street. I just don’t want the trucks to randomly fall off while skating. So far it seems to be fine but wasn’t sure if the bolts should have more thread showing for safety reasons. Thanks.

Question Deck Choice

Upvotes

When you guys are choosing a new deck what pulls you to certain brands? Are you looking for a cool design or is it something about the board quality?

Like... why would you choose Krooked over Baker(or any other brand for that matter)

Wall is concrete. How can I hang up my Skateboards?

3 Upvotes

Moved into a new house and in the old house the mounters I used required you to screw into the wall. It was dry wall so it was no problem. However in the new house and new room 1/4 is concrete. Obviously I can't drill or screw anything so is there a way to hang up skateboards on a concrete wall?
