Maybe I’m getting old and jaded but I love this type of content that calls out what’s corny in skateboarding
I think this is why we are all here.
Im old and jaded and I agree with this ranking from end to end
Ur not old and jaded. I'm 15 and I love this :)
It’s on some Ricky Oyola trip. I want to hate it, but it’s hard to disagree with the points.
I know right? I can't get enough of it, I was always a cynical asshole but I thought everything skateboarding was great, just because it was skate related but once I started to progress, I definitely started hating shit lol like girl boards, I hate the shape, the tapered nose and tail, all pointy and shit. The logo, the name, I just can't skate their shit lol
i saw a ripndip ad in a thrasher mag my heart shattered
dood you should see the louis vuitton ad
my heart sharted
@@lbaxter6396 I'd much rather see a Louis Vuitton ad than a fucking rip n dip ad lol
i feel disrespected that u put Enjoi so low, to me they are what skateboarding is all about, friends fun and laughs.
This is more about the graphics of the board not about what the company stands for or anything like that.
i like the graphics for the most part but i think the graphics were way better when Marc Johnson was on the team.
@@something_in_the_radiator1665 when MJ left, enjoi left with him. They didn’t go to shit right away though.
Agreed enjoi was at least A tier
Pls do another tier list with different brands for the same category. I'd really like to hear your take on FA, 5Boro and Isle.
Agree and Madness, Creature, and Toy Machine
@@pierrecannarsa3161 Madness is the SHIT dude fuck I love that brand
Palace, Polar, Hockey, Skateboard Cafe too, there are loads more:)
@@conaillclarke1845 Polar and Hockey are definitely 2 of my favorite board companies
Heroin too
The only problem with pizza skateboards graphics is that pizza skateboards made it
ootl. what exactly is wrong with pizza?
Couldn’t say it better myself
Same thing about their videos haha
@@Davidtime what’s wrong with pizza and their products/videos?
@@hollow_w33n their videos are awesome but the company sucks for all the reasons mentioned in the video (stupid name, low effort corny vibe)
Toy Machine are my favorite graphics of any board company. I also think you should have given enjoi a little more credit but that’s just my opinion.
Toy machine is the overall best company ever. Art, graphics, teams everything
Fax enjoi fire like the new wwe decks that came out
I love old school Toy Machine boards, moreso than what they currently sell. If they did some reissues of thier vintage graphics, shapes, etc I think it would be so sick. A few old 90s Templeton graphics come to mind (before my time but they're really cool looking)
Ed is a legend, TM has the quintessential skate rat aesthetic that I love. Plus the mellow nose and tail is really good for Nollie flips
@@soydave1988 I want the Chris Senn board with the cat on it lol
Woulda been cool to see Chocolate / Girl and Habitat, i love brands that work around specific artists
Chocolate Evan Hecox graphics have been consistently great.
Was also waiting for girl
Plan b boards were on another level of disgusting
And they don’t even have a good shape to back it up
Plan b will forever be the “jock” of skate companies to me. Remember when Prod still rode for them and they had that mini doc series on ride channel? It seemed like their whole focus was to just stack a super team instead of one that feels organic.
@@DOODOOBUTT_ those will always be the wackest companies. I'd much rather support a brand where all the riders are chosen/fit in organically rather than try to build some stacked talent super team
My favorite graphics decks always come from Polar, Evisen, Hockey, Alltimers and Yardsale. 🤷
word.
yeah, just bought a polar deck and they look dope
Those april graphics sure do look primitive!
Lol good one
When he pulled up that sheckler graphic all I could think was “Get this shit off my screen”
So fucking bad
Damn I was reading this as the graphic came up. Looks like some douchebag shit
It's insane they actually said "yep looks good, this'll go into production"...like what the fuck
Quasi is a S tier brand IMO same with hockey and maybe isle
Absolutely
Definitely agree
But they're from Ohio... Eew.
Pls do more of these pretty entertaining and I enjoy you giving a real opinion
skaters hanging their old decks around the house like a piece of art. this is our version of art hahahaha
Still got my Cliché Daclin Bomb Hills with flint inserts hanging above the entrance. Go buy film trucks and get off indys. Thank me later.
I have a Dan Pensyl corner store freshie on my wall and a nick basario (sp?) Polar square nose
This sort of proves why brands like Toy machine, krooked, alien, baker etc all have constantly good graphics because the people behind it have an actual artistic vision. And brands like Plan B, Thank you, etc don’t have anything deeper than ‘putting the logo on stuff’
for the most part Toy has good graphics but the sect pee, the anti scooter (we all no scooters suck, no need to put that on a deck) , the stabbing blood and guts are tiresome. many of the one offs and the sock puppet series are cool.
@@something_in_the_radiator1665 they can’t all be winners…. But Toy Machine is good overall
in a decade of plan b the only thing that has changed is the logo tilted maybe 10-15 degrees to the left
stoked that the aus brands like passport and butter are being recognised in the us
I didn't know passport was an Aussie brand, but I love their clothing. Finally a skate company that makes quality clothing at a decent price. Personally, I think they're aestehtic is better than Palaces overpriced hype shit. Definitely getting some passport gear soon
25:38 - The Zero "27 Club" - those are all artists that killed themselves / died at the age of 27. But yeah, assuming they chose an artist they resonated with or enjoy the chosen artist's music.
i was about to comment this but like do we not think that its a bit offensive to make boards of deceased people with like deathly/horrific kinda imagery plastered on it? im a big fan of zero but like surely thats kinda fucked
@@oscarh6947 i'm a fan of the graphic style but the context is in bad taste. making them look like zombies when they passed at a young age... yikes. not a good look.
@@something_in_the_radiator1665 just a bit of dark humor. Which in it of itself is kind of offensive to begin with
This was hilarious, especially the rip n dip part
the lines you come out with are hilarious. Keep it up
Love it. Can we get a part 2 w FA/Hockey, Santa Cruz, and some of the other big names? Make sure to include at least a few you loathe. Thank you.
great video sir. another hit. keep up the good work. the length is perfect too :3
youre not geeling anyone with your 6 ac counts! bot!!!
Creature, zero, krooked and Baker will always be solid because they figure it out how to have a very recognizable style that's always unique. Plan B reminds me of NASCAR, especially when people put stickers on them it looks corporate. A few of the more mainstream brands including primitive are guilty of looking very corporate and overly accessible. Passport and welcome are probably the best Indie looking brands. Almost and girl haven't changed much over time. Rip and dip can go to hell, they basically don't really support any individual skaters and are a bad copy of the other "indie" brands. Oh yeah, I like WKND. Although that brand relies on nostalgic trends a good bit with some boards, the art style is very minimalist and appealing.
I love how we agree on every single tier you chose for each
Look up the 27 club and all those boards will probably seem a lot more dope to you
Agreed on your point about Collabs, only exception is the Creature and Gwar collab!
I was happy to hear that you had the same thoughts on graphics as me especially quasi because I tend to ride them more than everyone
Love the channel keep making videos
About the real shit in skating very few other people do call out the bs so maximum respect for this channel
I’d like to hear your opinion on some of the newer frog graphics cause I think they definitely dropped some of the low effort quirk stuff and have some really nice artsy stuff
This channel is a hidden gem
Should look at Polar graphics. Honestly some of the best in skateboarding imo. great content btw, man
I'm addicted to your videos your doing God's work love the content
Your videos are the highlight of my day
The collabs are so weird. It's like we're back in the 80s and you and your bros all got your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle decks you got from the department store.
I love the turtles so I can't ever disagree with a turtles collab lol
I remember when that zero cole board with the stripes on it came out the first time, must’ve been around new blood coming out or going into filming for that zero promo/ride the sky. I thought it was peak Chris cole graphic, I wanted to skate it so badly hahaha
We need more videos like this
When you said college girls dorm room on a tapestry that shit was nuts because I literally was thinking that as you said it. So spot on
That eye deck from thank you is actually really sick
cant lie with u chief you pretty on point
Love this keep it going !
Great video, would love to see another one with even more companies, like madness and powell
Edited: oh theres a part 2 lemme watch that
As soon as you mentioned Faktura I knew this was a great video
Hot take - the striped Chris Cole board is kinda fire and a Zero classic! They had it in gold too. Personally I'd go for the skull on yellow background
I have a theories deck rn I'm skating w Mason graphic that's sick af. It also has a dope top graphic that I cut out. I like when companies make the effort to put a good top graphic for those who like to do grip jobs.
Great vid. Agree with you on most. Can we please get a follow up or round 2 to this video with different companies.
yes!
1.The Terminator Blind graphic for Henry Sanchez 1992 (Marc McKee)
2. Girl x Spitfire joker paint face logo Mike Mo
3.101 Charles Manson Peanuts Gang graphic Adam McNatt 1992 (Sean Cliver)
4. 101 Gino Ianucci "Gravediggas"
5. 101 Jason Lee/Natas Devil Graphic.
6. Anti Hero "Eat Shit and Die" Series.
Graphics are shit these days compared to what went down from 1990 to 1994.
These vids always make me laugh
Creature is my favorite brand they have the best feeling boards i've skated with gnarly graphics at a good price point. Their team is intimidating skills wise and they are like a family that parties and thrashes the expectations every skatepart they feature is outa this world. They skate the biggest rails and do the craziest vert spots. Gravette is my favorite rider he's so chill till he can't stick his trick then he gets unhinged but i love every second of it.
I know youve covered all the board brands in various videos by now,. I think you should make a ranking video "best 90s/2000 skate brand graphics nowadays" and rank a bunch of the core skate brands against eachother in a battle to see whose staying most true to there roots when it comes to graphical design, also could do the battle of parent/sister brands Choc vs Girl, Baker vs. deathwish/heroin...birdhouse, Blind vs Almost, enjoi, thank you etc etc you get the idea.
the pass port board on the beach is naturally pleasing to look at
My new favorite channel
6:26 thank you lol, couldn't put my finger on why I've always had an instinctual aversion to ripndip
"entering darkstar territory" lol rip
whats your opinion on the herion x texas chainsaw massacre collab from like 4 or 5 years ago?
It’s crazy how accepted chocolate is as a serious skate brand but then pizza is kinda clowned on for having a food name 😂
The enthusiasm u had when entering the primitive website should've given it a +1 to tier lmao
The Barry McGee Baker decks are fantastic!
I like designs that take up the whole board
5:40 : "we're approaching Darkstar territories" hahahhaa
What do you think about strange love graphics
Polar skate co. palace and yardsale have the best deck graphics atm alongside passport
Polar, FA, Hockey, Quasi, Welcome, Krooked, and Anti-Hero are the best graphics imo... although I'd probably also put Baker and Isle in as honorable mentions
@@soydave1988 Darkroom has some good graphics. Reminds me of old Habitat graphics.
@@juvedoo99 ehhh not really my style, but I respect those vintage graphics
I like how he's complaining about Frog and not realizing he's looking at 5 year anniversary reissues of their old stuff :P
I didn't know about all the craziness with RIpNDip until recently, but I do have to say they were always very kind to me. They knew I was recovering from brain tumors a few years back and sent me a couple care packages of beanies, that made me feel a lot less self conscious post surgery. I'm still buddies with one of the managers to this day. I know there's a some spotty stuff with O'Connor, but I only have kind things to say personally. Hope you're doing well Joa!
I had that pizza logo board. Honestly I loved it for the board and the graphic . I didn’t really think of it as a silly joke
Gogle says: big news, Geoff Rowley now rides for fartstar
For me Baker stands the test of time as one of the all time classic skate brands.
They've got such a unique design language and theyve never strayed to far away from that style.
Baker figured out a look and generally stick to it, which happens to give them the room to experiment each year with some fun and wild graphic designs since even if they F up with a really horrible graphic series or two, they always got the foundational look to fall back on.
Its amazing how Baker makes the block script lettering work so well for them after all these years, im sure some folks find it quite stale and boring but when it comes to brand recognition Bakers block lettering is as iconic of a logo as they come...I mean, Baker is easily one of the most iconic and recognizable brands in skateboarding.
You can spot a Red, black, and white Baker block letter board from across a field and easily recognize it for being exactly what it it.
ok
the welcome logo is sick imo idc
welcome has some weird shapes but damn their graphics are so dope, my second deck was a bactocat print and i was so stoked on it
They consistently have good graphics for sure
the killing floor graphics are some of my favorites, check em out
word.
Thank You logo looks like something that'd pop up on the credits at the end of Shrek
Wish you would've had Flip and Toy Machine in the tier list. Been two of my favorite companies for 20 years now
I didn't like primitive at first but I got a really fresh board with madara on it, it shows purple wood grain and lines like his eyes, I thought that one was worth getting, and I love Naruto anyway. The market for skating + anime art is rly big I think, the lewd decks always sell out every convention I see them at
i think some primitive graphics are completly bad and some are insanely good some of my favorite designs ever. for me primitive can be S tier or like C tier depending on the graphics
Creature S tier. THis guy is the ultimate get off my lawn guy. OG graphics are the best, mark gonzalez can do no wrong, Nyjah doesnt skate for them anymore so they arent cool, etc.
he's right
Never heard of passport gonna grab one of those stained glass decks, natural wood look is awesome.
I've had plenty the wood is bad quality in my opinion
Passport to me is the Aussie polar, but I say that in a good way. Currently riding one of there's for a couple months now and it's a good sturdy board, definitely gonna go back when this one carks it
@@amberruby4896 yeah I definitely see the whole "Aussie Polar" thing. Passport products are always great imo. And the Kitsch video was dope
did this man just say 'hot garb'
"i dont want to advertise your brand"
30 seconds later: "i cant even tell this is an element board"
I like to ride enjoi skateboards. I like the designs they had. I guess it's just the style.
SOVRN has some pretty cool and trippy looking graphics
Confucius once said “That pink fit is sussy.”
those new baker graphics are sick - Andy Jenkins styles
FA, Hockey, anti hero, and girl are my fav graphics
Damn...I know your young when you have no idea about the 27 club from Zero...Lol...Great content btw
I dont like element graphics either but I do remember having a good experience on a bam deck way back in the day, they have some good shapes but thats about it, mystery is the same I dont really like their boards but I did have a really good experience skating a deck a long time ago.
I love my old element graphic deck but a lot of the new ones are really missing the mark. The OG’s and the Bam ones looked great. Ever since Bams downfall they fell off big time
i had the bam "cat" element deck as a kid
really liked it
s3images.coroflot.com/user_files/individual_files/243148_g0SLSDLgkmf4xS3p5zx_A9WQk.jpg
bro you missed out on the rip'n dip board with the girl on her knees, crazy for your talking point LOL
Do a part 2 with European brands only! Sour, Magenta, Polar...
Yo is that dolphin on your taskbar or are you just happy to see me?
Wonder where scumco or killing floor wood fit
"What an eye sore" couldn't have said it better dood
Another hit from 1800nipps
Also pretty sure rip n dip got the art from Leon karssen and never paid him
quick add: those frog graphics were old reissues from 5 years ago
I had a thank you board I got the kill bill Daewon Song board and loved it
I bought a ripndip board last year because it was unsellable at a local shop and was going for 40 bucks CAD. I'll basically buy anything if it's cheap enough, I skate solo anyway. Well... worst 40 dollars I've spent in a long time. It broke in a week from flatground tricks.
yes please do more with other companies
U gotta do FA and Hockey
U should do deck size next, I’d be interested what u have to say about fa world entertainment/ hockey
I’m tempted to get an FA board. Their shapes look interesting
@@juvedoo99 massive steep noses and blunt kicks, I personally love them
I have a pizza board and it just has a picture of a microwave and says eat the new god, very simple, very cool
I like SOVRN graphics. Bold. Minimalistic. Legible. Love them.
You should do a tier post for U.K. brands. Some of them are shocking.
i love the primitive slander
