I always read people complaining about this.

BC puts their graphics in the wood, not on the wood, so the graphic doesn't come off.

Every time I eat it and draw blood I smear a little on my deck. Another notch on the bow if you would.

I'm always very careful when I first get a board, the first few scratches piss me off, but after a getting the first few scratches I stop caring.

I have a blank.

There's nothing more beautiful than a thrashed-ass deck.

those people are called pussies. When you get out there and go for it, your board gets beat up and that's all there is to it.

I have never heard of anyone bitching here about a scratched graphic.

You aren't the only one!

I have a blank, but I like painting it. Usually once my graphic starts to fade, I sand it down and make a new one.

The bottom of my boards get sticker bombed anyways, I don't care for any board graphics these days.

I put a lot of hard work into painting my board knowing full well that it will eventually get scratched and damaged. A longboard is a piece of sporting equipment meant to be used not a canvas meant to be looked at and put up on a wall (but hey, I won't stop you if you're a deck collector).

Just remember to take a few good photos of your hard work so you can have it forever.

Then just shut up and ride.

whats a graphic? Is that the thing under all my stickers?

Cnr345 · 7 days

Exactly. It's all cool if it gets scratched, if you don't want your board scratched, don't ride it...simple.

TKDgirl · 7 days

When I first get my board, I ride it as hard as possible so it looks used. And then I ride some more!

No one wants their board to get scratched, but once it does eventually happen, zero fucks are given because the board just has more character and it's not like it stops working.

The whole point of the graphic is to thrash it.

qp_of_dank · 7 days

i think the graphic is what gives a board character, along with shape and coloring

Its simple, if you like the graphic sooo much just don't ride the board. I hate when my sister bitches cause she doesn't want her board damaged.
