The worlds largest skate baord

This is a pretty awesome video. I just want to know how much it cost him to make this board!

Granted its pretty awesome but I know for a fact Foundry would have just given away a lot of gear instead of making a giant board. Whatever, this is awesome and I shouldn't take that away from him.

That being said, what would you do with a giant skateboard? Maybe the mega mini? jk

How to use spray paint and stencils to get nice images. (request)

I have had a request to explain how to use stencils, I have spent some time using stencils and I hope to help skaters who want to get creative. Ok I am going to teach you what I know. Listen up!

This is the image i have been asked to explain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I have selected 2 images that I want to merge. A background and a foreground. Lets start with the background. Here it is.
This is a simple 2 step job. Your first step is to lay down your base color... The lighter one first. You will lay just a simple square or rectangle or whatever shape you want. Then after that dries, your first stencil will be used. BE SURE THAT ALL OF THE STENCILS ARE PLACED ON THE SAME EXACT SPOT

All of the white parts are parts that you DON'T cut out . Now you have the complete background and are ready to start on the fist.










Your first stencil for the fist will cover the majority of the color, in this case the blue. It will look like this.

Now you just hold that down and stray from about 6-12 inches away. It should fill in that area completely.

Thats step 1 for the hand.... now step too

You get another sheet and cut it to look like this.  This will be the black.


Now spray BLACK that and let it dry.

Step number 3 of the hand. The red tongue. cut it to look like this.


Spray it red and let it dry... now the last step.

The white teeth. Cut the next sheet to look like this.

Thats it, if  you have done ever step you have the original image background included. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment and ask. Thank you for the good request. 

A change in what a Rep has to do.

This is the Email that I personally sent to all the Reps. If you didn't get the email you can read it here. I hope that this doesn't push anyone away. Thanks and keep skating. 

Hey guys,

The more Foundry Skateboarding grow the more I learn. In the past few months Foundry Skateboarding has grown faster then I ever thought it would! We now have Reps in Abilene Texas, San Antonio Texas, Fort Worth Texas, Traverse City Michigan, Manistee Michigan, also Orlando Florida! We are also pursuing some Reps out west. This is a great time for Foundry Skateboarding.

Foundry Skateboarding has some goals for the future. Some of our goals are a video comp, torny (here in Abilene(All Reps welcome)), we want to get t-shirts, some F-bomb stickers, we also really want to start reaching out to cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and L.A. One of our biggest goals is to help fund local events liki mini ramps, BBQ's, local tournies, and just focus on the skate family. We do need to make some changes to make these goals become a reality.

The change that will you will see in December is that we have to have a minimum number of decks bought/sold from our Reps. I know its lame but we need the sales to grow. DONT worry, its a really easy goal. The minimum number of decks sold is one deck a month... OR 12 a year. So all the Michigan skaters... your covered through winter. This doesn't mean that you personally need to own 12 Foundry Skateboarding decks a year, just sell 1 a month to friends. The F-bomb is well worth the money and are very easy to sell. Please don't be discouraged. I have a rep in San Antonio, “Devin” who just sold 13! Yeah, super easy.

This is how easy they are to sell. Here is how I do it. I was chillin at the local skate park here in Abilene. Someone wanted to ride my board, so I let him. After the third time he road it I said to him, “Hey, man I know where you can get that deck for 20 bucks.”

He replied,” No way, Where?”

I replied, “Me”

The next day I sold him a deck. Please don't be afraid of this minimum be confident in these decks, they sell themselves.

That's it, you still get a free one every ten you sell. So have fun and Skate an F-Bomb!

Keep skating

Some Skating Inspiration

Check that out. It is a 30 minute documentary on some pretty amazing grass roots skaters.

This is the kind of video that makes me itchy to skate. The people in this video find the most incredible spots.
Thats not the point though. This is a skate video from Mongolia. This video makes you appreciate what you have. I am going to keep it short and ask everyone to comment after watching this. Think of it as skate homework, except it doesn't suck.
