- “The first skateboard presses that I built where literally out of dumpsters.” In Long Beach, California, Street Plant is doing things their own way. The skateboard company operates out of founder Mike Vallely’s garage, affectionately dubbed ‘Garageland,’ behind the Vallely home.

Vallely and his daughter, Emily, founded the company back in 2015 and worked closely with Daniel Creadon, owner of Factory13 Skateboards, to create a custom, sustainable, environmentally friendly line of boards called @STREETPLANT Naturals.

Damn, what a process, what a beuty!
I’ll tell you this, not only are factory13 boards functional, strong and worth it. Their goddamn works of art made right here in the USA. The way boards used to be now 90% or more are made in China or Mexico. Back in the day anything made overseas was considered a toy. Where else are you gonna get a one of a kind deck the way you want without making it yourself
That's a rad shape. I usually get and ride Scram skates, scram earth skiis. ..little brand from Seattle. definitely gotta snag one of these natural s.
I wish CZcams was around like this when I was building boards in the mid 00's as Chicagolongboards. I'd have loved to record and post videos while building boards in my garage shop like this. Great video!
it's hard for me to express the feelings seeing this video created in me, i'd say this was sort of life-changing
Crazy he’s doing it a board at a time. They usually put like 6 in the press at once.
Thatz Mike Vallely on board
One of, if not, the best skater vs punks vids you’ll ever see!!!
Alsome was a pleasure watching the process
That, my friends, is how a good quality skateboard is made! That's not some mass produced piece of crap made in China with slave labor. Well done 👍 Mike V
Wait.. What glue did he use? Epoxy? Or wood glue?
I'm pretty sure its epoxy. You wouldn't lay a water based glue on veneer with a squeegee.
When you do thinks with love and pasion. You belive in what you do. Nobody can't take it from you.
Absolutely.
Very good job the best work i see here in youtube. Best draw art in skate up and down shape. Greaty job. Not a only skate there are art too. English not so good sorry.
Interested in skateboarding decks? Can I place an order?
Love what these guys do, but this seems really primitive and labor intensive even on a small scale.
You’ve got to love doing it, that’s for sure. Probably some of the best quality you can find though!
this aint it chief
