Over time if your riding a real ware graphic deck obviously the graphic will eventually start to ware at first I thought it looked horrible and I would lacquer all my graphics but know I respect how they look when they ware because I like how they look more realistic! What's your opinion thrashed or not?

When I got my berlinwood I honestly just wanted to get the graphic off as soon as possible because I didn't like having to wait, and wonder when it would wear. I think they're cool, but idk if they're my thing.

thrashed decks are cool

For every scratch theres a trick.

I really like real ware graphics because of the realism and that you can tell its been ridden (unless you purposely ware it) but i also really like a permanent graphic because if you have a graphic you like a lot you can enjoy it for longer.

I liike them because it shows you fingerboard a lot

i like real wear, gives the deck charicter and individuality. and they are realistic

Seeing my decks graphic worn to bits is the best

lol..that clip XD

I like it having thrashed. It shows the personality of the deck and user. I prefer tailslides so my tail is thrashed the most.

i like it. it shows the rider's style kinda too. like if they do lots of noseslides or whatever.

Here are the pros and cons of thrashed decks:
Pros:
Show riders style, as Mallory said.
Gives the board soul, as Mikkel said, "every scratch there's a trick."
It resembles skateboarding more.

Cons:
If you are paying for a graphic, I would like to be able to always see that graphic.
If you would want to sell or trade it, you will have to settle for less because it's scratched up.

That's really all I can think of

I liked it at first but I kinda like that they don't wear now but I still like real wear graphics

I like them but my real wears never wear :/

I'm not too bothered about graphics, I have a no comply graphic however and that shit won't wear no matter how hard I try. I've literally been boardsliding concrete with it to try and get it to wear... nothing, lmfao. I never use the deck anyway though, so it just sits in my collection aha.

I love the look of a generally thrashed deck though, my blosom 30.5 is scratched and chipped to fuck, it's such a beauty though.

To me it doesn't matter what it looks like its how well you can skate it.

I don't think my Sliver Gang will ever wear. It's cool though b/c the graphic is kinda fucking dope.

i like real ware decks, i have a deck with graffic that doesnt scratch an it kinda sucks cause it doesnt show the history an how hard the deck has been ridin.

thrashed decks look so good I think.

I think its cool when the scratches go horizontal but look weird when the scratches are vertical.

For me it depends, sometimes I want the graphic to stay, other times I'm seshing the hell out of it just for it to wear off.

That video.

Lol

I like realistic wear and I like thrashed decks. I have some thrashed decks in my collection that are amazing. I mostly thrashed TD back in the day. I used a Matt Mumford zero for about 4 years until most of the graphic was worn away.

It depends, I love wearing on real skateboard decks, but IDK on fingerboards.... some decks I enjoy messing up the graphic for an authentic look, but if it's a really really really REALLY sick graphic then I'll   tape it or something.

But 99.99% of the time I love it!
