D.I.Y. Skate Co.

Chris J. of Rufus Skates is making me a new deck.  I get a text asking what size I want.  I gave him my specs (width, wheelbase etc...).  I sent him my specs and he replied, "we can do whatever you want."

I ask you this:  How many skateboard companies tell you that when you email them what you'd like in a deck?  Yeah, not too many.  That is one of the things so awesome about companies like Rufus and Fickle. Look for a review and in depth report on the process of getting a board from Rufus Skates.

What else is great about D.I.Y. Companies?  You're helping someone that is a skater continue to provide the best quality product possible.  I've been riding an Outlaw Skateboards El Bandito deck for well over a month.  I have knocked it into curbs and ledges.  It has flown out of a bowl while I bailed.  I have thrown everything I can at this board and it is still holding strong. You help a skater continue, and you get quality product.

Last, but not least, these guys are doing cool things.  What Luck Skateboards has the re-kruzer project.  Check it out. They are donating a board to a kid for every cruiser you buy.  How rad is that!?
